Use cases

What businesses actually book us for.

Bring a moment, not a topic. The most useful sessions have a real decision attached.

Everyone is unique. Your matched mentor is chosen for the specific challenge you face — and you can change mentors as often as you like, so you are always speaking to whoever can add the most value right now.

  • A funding decision

    Equity, debt, grant, blended. Someone who has stood at the same fork will help you see the trade-offs cleanly.

  • A leadership moment

    Restructures, exits of senior people, a shift in ownership, a moment of doubt. The right voice helps you walk it forward.

  • A board paper or investor update

    A NED or two-time founder will tell you what your board is actually going to ask before you write the deck.

  • A first or critical hire

    A founder who has hired the same role into the same stage of business will save you a quarter of the mis-hire pain.

  • Winning bigger customers

    Shape your offer, pricing, proposal and commercial approach before a critical sales conversation.

  • A difficult conversation

    With a customer, a partner or your own team — it goes better when you have rehearsed it with someone who has had a harder version.

A real example

An hour, a number, a contract that landed.

One founder, one decision, one mentor session. The pattern repeats hundreds of times across the network — quietly, in the background of growing businesses.

Working with Ben Quigley has been a genuinely amazing experience. The sessions equipped our agency with the tools, perspective, critical thinking, and mindset to grow, adapt, and evolve.

How the platform helps

A working rhythm, not a one-off session.

Most businesses stay on Unlocked because it becomes part of how they make better decisions — nothing beats having such a rich resource to tap into at any time — not because they signed up for a programme.

  • Pick up where you left off

    Your briefs, previous sessions and agreed next steps stay organised, so each mentor session starts with the right context. You stay in control of what is shared.
  • Hour packs that fit the business

    Buy a small pack to start, top up when you need to. The pack runs alongside any funded credits you have access to.
  • Bring the rest of the leadership team

    Add your co-founder, COO, chair or marketing director. Sessions and briefs can be shared so everybody works from the same expert input.
  • Drop in from anywhere

    Sessions run by video on any device, so a mentor hour fits between meetings — at the office, from home, between flights.
