PRACTICAL BUSINESS SUPPORT. REAL TOOLS. REAL PEOPLE. NO GATEKEEPING.TFDI isn’t waiting for someday. Applications are open, tickets are live and we’re putting our own commitment on the table.
Before asking anybody else to back TFDI, we’re going first. We’re providing the first 20 Growth Places ourselves — worth £10,940 in practical business support.
The night TFDI steps out into the world. Meet The First 20, discover what comes next, bid in the Silent Auction and then stick around for a bloody good night.
FRIDAY 9 OCTOBER 2026 The Barnstaple Hotel
Help fund 500 practical Growth Places. Every time external contributions reach £547, TFDI funds another complete Growth Place alongside it.
The Foxx Den Initiative exists to help people build sustainable businesses through practical support, useful technology and people who actually give a damn.
We’re building the kind of business support we believe should exist — accessible, practical and designed around the person building the business, rather than forcing everybody through the same programme.
DISCOVER TFDI →Useful knowledge shouldn’t be hidden behind expensive programmes, jargon or knowing the right people.
Different businesses need different routes. TFDI gives you direction without pretending there’s only one correct way to get there.
Websites, resources, templates, technology, learning and people you can actually ask for help.
Business can be lonely. The Den exists so you don’t have to figure every part of the journey out on your own.
Whether you’ve got an idea scribbled on a piece of paper, you’re already trading, or you’ve been running businesses for years and need a new direction — there’s a place to start.
TFDI isn’t a fixed course with one route everybody has to follow. It’s a practical system designed to help you understand where you are, what needs attention next and where to find the right support.
Start by understanding where you are now, what you’re trying to achieve and which areas of the business need attention first.
EXPLORE THE COMPASS →Work through the practical areas that help businesses become stronger, more visible, more profitable and better equipped to make decisions.
SEE HOW IT WORKS →Templates, tools, resources, practical downloads and technology designed to help turn learning into action.
OPEN THE ARMOURY →Learn, ask questions, share progress, access support and build alongside other people trying to create something of their own.
ENTER THE GUILD →Start where you need to start. Use the Compass to find direction, jump into the Pillar that matters now, grab the tool you need from the Armoury or ask the Guild for help.
The system bends around the business — not the other way round.
You don’t need to understand every part of TFDI before you begin. Pick the door that sounds most like you and start there.
Starting something new, rebuilding, stuck or ready to move forward? Discover The First 20 and TFDI’s funded Growth Places.

TFDI isn’t being built in isolation.
We’re bringing together businesses, suppliers, sponsors and supporters who believe that helping someone else build something is worth getting behind.
Every business that contributes to what we’re building can become part of The Den Directory — our permanent home for the organisations choosing to back businesses, opportunities and people.
Not a temporary sponsor logo buried at the bottom of a page. A growing directory designed to recognise the businesses helping make TFDI possible.
EXPLORE THE DEN DIRECTORY →Put your business behind an event, initiative or opportunity.
Contribute products, services, expertise or resources.
Give an item, experience or service that can help us raise more.
Contribute directly towards creating TFDI Growth Places.
Big contribution or small contribution, if you want to help create opportunity, we’d like to hear from you.
GET INVOLVED →Ideas worth digging into.
Practical advice, business thinking, lessons learned the hard way and useful stuff for people trying to build something of their own.
EXPLORE ALL DIGGINGS →We aren’t interested in pretending every business can become a seven-figure empire before breakfast.
Den Diggings is where we unpack the things that actually matter: getting started, getting found, making sales, using technology, learning from mistakes and building something sustainable.
Starting, validating, pricing, positioning and turning an idea into something people will actually buy.
Websites, SEO, social, content, advertising and practical ways to stop being the world’s best-kept secret.
Mistakes, setbacks, decisions, pivots and the gloriously unpolished reality of actually running a business.
AI, automation, useful tools and technology explained without requiring a computer science degree.
TFDI is only just getting started.
New Growth Places. DAY ONE updates. TFDI 500. New resources, opportunities, events and the occasional bit of useful nonsense from inside The Den.
No inbox carpet-bombing. Just the stuff worth knowing.
Drop your details below and we’ll keep you up to date with what’s happening across TFDI.
Start somewhere. Build something. Help someone else do the same.
