About me

Hi, I’m Blué O’Connor - founding Impact Consultant at Social Venturise, Social Venture Manager at the London School of Economics, Director of Funding (Fractional) at Talk Club and Director at Zion Community Café and Events space.

I support social ventures, charities, and mission-led businesses to deliver more impact through training, strategy advisory and smart use of Generative AI.

With a background spanning aerospace engineering, business support, social entrepreneurship and higher education, I’ve started my own social ventures and supported hundreds of others across the UK – from community cafés to university spinouts.

Along the way, I’ve had some successes (Talk Club), failures (KINGS), awards, scholarships and more,
but what continues to drive me is seeing and supporting Social Ventures deliver impact in the world so that we can improve society and peoples lives.

I know first-hand how hard it can be to start, scale and sustain a Social Venture, and that’s why I’m passionate and driven to design and deliver impactful entrepreneurship programmes, leverage AI to boost efficiency, and help founders launch their ideas,

I’m here to support you to start, scale & sustain!

Customers

  • I really appreciated the session, it was clear, relevant, and well-delivered. You came through as you are, very approachable and supportive. The PREP framework was particularly helpful, and the use of live examples made the potential applications of Gen AI in social enterprise feel tangible. I’d be glad to see more of this kind of delivery embedded into the curriculum

  • I have learnt new things. Blown away really. Presenter was very welcoming. Information was clear, varied and interactive. I feel less nervous about AI because I feel more curious and now keen to apply it in my work. A very big thank you to the presenter. He was a natural.
