Jake Hayman

Jake is a former poker player turned serial social entrepreneur. Having launched three innovative businesses and social enterprises in the past five years, he was recognised at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards for 2013 as silver prize winner in the Serial Entrepreneur of the Year award category.

Five years ago, Jake launched Future First in his old school – an inner City London all boys comprehensive – to help young people get access to former students who can be role models, mentors and work experience providers. The programme has transformed careers services in 20% of schools nationwide and Jake is now taking it internationally.

Jake now advises some of the UK’s top business leaders and philanthropists on how to use their resources to transform society and he sits on the board of the £100m LankellyChase Foundation and the Early Intervention Foundation – launched by the then Prime Minister David Cameron in late 2013.

Passionate about commercial as well as social innovation, in 2013 Jake launched new business Frame Again aiming to revolutionise the photo printing and framing market.

Today he is CEO of Ten Year Time ‘connecting philanthropists with the communities they want to serve’.
