We’re incredibly proud (and still a little stunned!) to announce that Mindful Extracts has recently been named the winner of Sussex Innovation’s Accelerate50 award. This prestigious initiative recognises the most game-changing businesses in the whole region.

Out of an amazing line-up of inspiring scale-ups and ambitious founders, we were chosen for our story, our purpose and our commitment to creating a genuine and holistic approach to wellbeing.

The award included an acceleration package worth £50,000  – and for a growing, independent company like ours, that is absolutely transformational. We’ll now benefit from:

• A private office for one year with full facilities
• Monthly CEO coaching, founder networking and peer learning
• Strategic meetings with Sussex Innovation consultants
• Support for marketing, financial planning and scaling
• And exclusive local partnerships and offers

Why This Matters

This couldn’t have come at a better time. We’re stepping into a new phase of growth – expanding our team, growing our network of stockists and levelling up our online presence. But staying true to our mission remains at the heart of everything we do: delivering natural, ethical wellness products supported by mindfulness and intention.

Our founder Donal Bourke’s personal journey – from a life-changing motorcycle accident to the discovery of CBD and meditation- inspired him to create something more than just a product. Mindful Extracts is about empowering people to care for their body and mind in equal measure, with integrity, honesty and quality.

To have this vision recognised by Sussex Innovation – and to be described as a “Sussex Game-Changer”, is an honour we’ll carry with pride!

A Huge Thank You

To our customers, collaborators and community – this win is yours too! We’ve come this far because you believe in what we do. This support will help us deliver even more value, connection and positive impact.

We’re excited to take you along on this next chapter.

Let’s grow together!
