The Global Club For Brave New Founders.
A space to connect, grow, and build together.
ImagineThat is a Global Network for Ambitious Ex-Corporate Professionals stepping into entrepreneurship for the first time.
Founded by Niluka Kavanagh - ex-Big 4 consultant turned 3x entrepreneur, speaker, advisor, and member of the UN Innovation Network.
​
We support professionals who’ve built successful corporate careers and are now ready to create something of their own.
Whether you’re launching a consultancy, an agency, or building your first service business, ImagineThat gives you the tools, community, and connections to make the transition with confidence.
​
Recently featured by the University of Oxford Entrepreneurial Spotlight.
We believe in building with purpose.
​
The world of work has shifted. With digital entrepreneurship, AI, and the rise of the knowledge economy, it’s now entirely possible to create a business that reflects your expertise and values - and do meaningful work on your own terms.
​
The challenge? Even for experienced leaders, moving from corporate to entrepreneurship can feel unfamiliar - and often isolating. That’s where we come in.
​
The ImagineThat Club is a curated network of mainly ex-corporate founders. It’s where you connect with peers at your level, share ideas, and grow together through real conversations and feedback.
​
The ImagineThat Academy is a structured 3-month programme designed to help you transition from seasoned professional to confident business owner. From refining your idea to landing your first clients, it gives you the clarity, accountability, and tools to accelerate your journey.
9-5 jobs are predicted to be obsolete by 2035 according to LinkedIn's Founder. Now is the time to build.
The coaching and consulting sector is set to reach $350 billion a year in 2025.
At ImagineThat, we help professionals build impactful, purpose-led businesses - ventures that use your expertise, leadership experience, and perspective to create real change, solve meaningful problems, and serve others in a way that truly matters.
​
For many of our members, this takes the shape of profitable consulting or service-based businesses - models with low overheads, scalable earning potential, and the flexibility to design life on their own terms.
We also have members building tech ventures, education-led businesses, and community-driven offers - all united by a desire to have an impact beyond corporate.
​
Who Are We For?
We exist for professionals in their first years of entrepreneurship - leaders who have already built careers in corporate, but are now navigating the new challenge of building a business for themselves.
​
We're especially for you if...
​​​
-
You’re ready to back yourself and create a business that excites you.
-
You’re ambitious, driven, and supportive of others.
-
You want control over your schedule and the freedom to choose how and where you work.
-
You’re focused on building a business that grows and sustains you.
-
You want the right mix of inspiration, strategy, and support on your journey.
​​
Why ImagineThat?
The coaching and start-up space can feel crowded with noise, inflated promises, and quick fixes.
​
You’ll find none of that here.
​
At ImagineThat, we bring together serious (but fun!) professionals who want to transition into business ownership the right way - with proven strategies, peer support, and a global network of founders at a similar stage.
​
We’re the professional platform for ex-corporate leaders who want to step into entrepreneurship in a realistic, sustainable way - building strong foundations for long-term success.
