BeeTogether by GoSME
Where SMEs, investors, and community come together to unlock growth. GoSME proudly present BeeTogether - a programme inspired by Manchester’s worker bee, built on collaboration, trust, and shared growth. At its heart are BrandHives: exclusive workshops where entrepreneurs don’t just learn - they are heard by investors and guided by Gurus to turn their brands, leadership, and IP into real, measurable business value.
Why join a BrandHive?
Market-Test
Big companies can afford costly focus groups. SMEs can't. Our workshops act as a live test environment where your value proposition is tested, challenged, and refined with investor-style feedback and peer insights.
Community Power
Building a business can be lonely. Our BrandHives create a community of peers and mentors who grow together, share accountability and celebrate wins.
Solve Challenges
Most SMEs struggle to raise funds for "intangible" assets like brand, IP, and leadership. In a BrandHive, these hidden strengths become visible, validated, and transformed into investable collateral.
Meet Investors
Each session includes a committed investor who listens to your business, shares insights on what attracts investment, and may even invest directly.
Guru Guidance
Badged Gurus ensure sessions are structured, transparent, and focused on unlocking hidden value in your business.
Measurable Takeaways
Strengthen your value proposition, identify emotional drivers behind customer decisions, unlock hidden brand/IP assets and receive investor-style feedback you can act on immediately.
How BrandHives work?

Peer empathy, co-creation, and feedback loops.
