Most businesses still struggle to explain what they do clearly online.

  • Websites rely heavily on text

  • LinkedIn profiles lack personality

  • Potential clients rarely see the person behind the business

  • Many businesses know video matters, but delay it because of cost, uncertainty or time

Founder Visibility Sessions are designed to solve that first step.

Why these sessions exist

Founder Story Sessions are designed around a shared production model, allowing businesses to access professionally produced founder-led video content without the cost of a full standalone production day.

By filming multiple businesses across dedicated cohort sessions, production costs are shared while maintaining a high-quality professional setup and finish.

Example Founder Story Session

Business featured in this example is not a professional presenter or creator and was shot specifically for their website. The process was designed to ensure they felt guided, while coming across as conversational and comfortable on camera.

Premium Production Through Shared Access

Normally this type of production would require:

  • individual filming days

  • studio costs

  • dedicated production crews

  • significantly higher budgets

By bringing together businesses from within the accelerator community on shared filming days, we’re able to make professional founder-led video content far more accessible.

Where These Films Can Be Used

  • Sales introductions

  • Speaker/event introductions

  • Investor/funder communications

  • Email outreach

  • Instagram/TikTok repurposing

  • Not at all. Most people featured in these sessions are not professional presenters or creators.

    The sessions are designed to feel conversational and guided, helping you communicate naturally and confidently on camera without needing to memorise scripts or “perform”.

  • Ahead of filming, you’ll receive preparation guidance and a short pre-session call to help shape the direction of your video.

    On the filming day itself, sessions are designed to be efficient and relaxed, focusing on capturing a clear, professional introduction to you and your business.

  • Founder sessions are scheduled in short production slots, typically around 15-30 minutes depending on requirements.

    The goal is to create a professional end result without taking large amounts of time away from running your business.

  • You’ll receive guidance before filming, but generally we recommend wearing something that feels professional, comfortable and aligned with your brand.

    Avoid overly busy patterns, large logos or anything that may distract on camera.

  • The films are designed to be flexible and usable across multiple platforms, including:

    • LinkedIn

    • your website homepage/about page

    • presentations and pitches

    • Instagram and TikTok

    • YouTube

    • email marketing

    • speaker introductions

    Many businesses use them as a central “introduction” piece across several channels.

  • No full script is required.

    You’ll receive guidance beforehand, including suggested talking points and preparation prompts, but the sessions are designed to feel natural rather than heavily scripted.

  • Yes, all final films include professionally added subtitles to improve accessibility and social media usability.

  • Yes, one round of reasonable revisions is included within the session package.

    Additional revision rounds or major structural changes may be charged separately.

  • The initial sessions are being prioritised for businesses connected to the NatWest Accelerator and associated founder network.

    Depending on demand, future sessions may later open more broadly.

  • These sessions are delivered using a shared production model, where multiple businesses are filmed across dedicated production days.

    This approach significantly reduces the individual production cost while still maintaining a high-quality professional setup and finish.

  • Additional edits, photography, longer-form interviews and ongoing content support can all be discussed separately following the session if useful for your business.

  • Due to the limited number of production slots available, sessions are secured through upfront payment once applications have been approved and booking details confirmed.

    This helps ensure filming schedules and production capacity can be planned effectively across the cohort.

    Payment details and onboarding information will be provided following acceptance.

  • Final edited films are typically delivered within 14 working days of filming.

Limited initial Sessions

To maintain production quality and turnaround times, only a limited number of founder sessions are being accepted within the initial filming cohort.
