Empowering Together: How Hemisphere Consultants and 20/20 Levels Are Building Pathways for Inclusive Success
The partnership between Hemisphere Consultants and 20/20 Levels is more than a collaboration it’s a story of shared purpose, long-standing trust, and a collective belief in the power of access and opportunity.
20/20 Levels is a social mobility organisation dedicated to helping young people from underrepresented backgrounds realise their full potential. Through their Entrepreneurs Programme and Employability Programmes, they provide mentorship, skills development, and access to networks that enable young people to thrive both personally and professionally. Their work focuses on unlocking ambition, building confidence, and creating pathways into business and leadership for those who might not otherwise have access.
This partnership has deep roots. Hemisphere’s founder, Zoe Mortimer, spent six years as in-house legal counsel for Duro Oye, the visionary founder and CEO of 20/20 Levels. Over those years, Zoe witnessed firsthand the incredible impact Duro and his team were making helping young people transform potential into progress.
So when Hemisphere Consultants was founded, taking the next step together felt entirely natural. The collaboration between Hemisphere and 20/20 Levels grew organically from years of shared values, mutual respect, and a joint commitment to inclusion and empowerment.
Shared Purpose, Shared Vision
Both Hemisphere and 20/20 Levels exist to create access whether that’s access to opportunity, to knowledge, or to confidence.
For us at Hemisphere Consultants, that means providing clear, commercially sound legal support to female and underrepresented businesses so they can scale safely and sustainably. For 20/20 Levels, it means empowering underrepresented young people to step into their potential through mentorship, business training, and professional networks.
Together, we are bridging the gap between ambition and action helping aspiring entrepreneurs not just dream but build.
Complementary Strengths, Collective Impact
This partnership works because we bring different, yet deeply complementary, strengths to the table:
20/20 Levels nurtures the next generation of diverse leaders' young people full of creativity, energy, and purpose.
Hemisphere Consultants provides the legal and commercial foundations that allow those ideas to thrive in the real world.
As part of this partnership, we run the Legal Masterclass for 20/20 Levels’ Entrepreneurs Programme, offering participants the essential legal knowledge they need to start and scale their ventures with confidence. We also provide one-to-one mentoring to young entrepreneurs, ensuring they have personalised guidance for the specific challenges they face. In addition, Hemisphere supports 20/20 Levels directly with their own legal needs, helping to strengthen the organisation from within so it can continue to grow its incredible impact.
By combining empowerment with structure, and inspiration with practical guidance, we’re helping transform bright ideas into sustainable businesses.
Collaboration That Creates Confidence
Through our collaboration, young entrepreneurs emerging from 20/20 Levels’ programmes gain access to legal insight and commercial support that helps them step into business ownership with clarity and confidence.
It’s about more than contracts or compliance it’s about building belief. Because when someone feels secure in their foundations, they can focus on their growth. They can innovate, expand, and show up in the world with purpose.
A Partnership with Purpose
What makes this partnership special is the alignment of intent. Both Hemisphere Consultants and 20/20 Levels are driven by the same values: that talent is universal, but opportunity is not.
By working together, we’re helping close that gap. We’re creating spaces where ambition is nurtured, diversity is celebrated, and people are supported from their first idea to their first success story.
Looking Ahead: A Future of Shared Growth
This partnership is just the beginning. Together, we envision a future where:
Entrepreneurs have access to holistic support - from inspiration and training to legal and commercial guidance.
Diverse voices lead confidently, backed by the right knowledge, mentorship, and networks.
Collaboration becomes the norm, not the exception where purpose-led organisations unite to drive lasting change.
At Hemisphere, we’ve always believed that empowerment is a chain reaction. When one person gains clarity and courage, they inspire others to do the same. Our partnership with 20/20 Levels is an extension of that belief, proof that when we come together with aligned values and open hearts, we can create real, sustainable progress.
Together, we’re not just imagining a more inclusive future; we’re building it, one empowered entrepreneur at a time, and it is our greatest honour to be trusted with partnering with 20/20 Levels
