This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 836, Mon 23 March, 2026

Dear Escapees,


There’s a lot of heavy news around at the moment. You don’t need us to tell you that. So here’s something a bit lighter for a Monday.


We came across a project called The Kindness Forecast, which collects and shares small acts of kindness happening across the UK. Not big gestures, just everyday things, someone helping a stranger, a moment of generosity, the sort of interaction that usually passes unnoticed.


It’s a good reminder that alongside everything else, people are still looking out for each other.


This week’s Top 10 leans towards organisations where that shows up in practice. In how people are treated, how decisions get made, and the general feel of the place.


Happy Escaping,

Team Escape


P.S. If you’re thinking about building something yourself, the Startup Accelerator is coming back this summer. Register your interest here, and be first to know when applications open.
