BiDE’s rallying the crowd, putting the means to produce climate impact in the hands of the sidelined.
We are empowering the historically marginalised to become eco warriors, with fair pay for manufacturing green consumer goods in their own homes.

Everyone can be green
We’re not currently selling our award-winning eco-friendly cleaning products to the public. So we’ve shared all of our recipes so you can make your own. Whether you’re a single parent on benefits, a middle-class conscious consumer, or a brand struggling to meet net zero, BiDE ensures everybody can make a difference.
Facing down Dragons
In January 2023, Amelia entered the Dragon’s Den. Although the funding offered during the episode didn’t materialise, BiDE’s appearance in the Den generated an incredible surge of support from both existing and new customers. It also encouraged even more individuals to sign up for the Home Manufacturer waitlist. A year on, the BiDE Tribe continues to expand as we dedicate our efforts to persuading businesses to collaborate with BiDE.

EMPOWERMENT for everyone that works with us.
Our system is built to empower anyone to get work.
By bringing work to their doorsteps and not requiring any previous experience, we remove the barriers that may have held them back.
But we are not empowering enough.
We have only deployed approximately 0.1% of the home manufacturers who have registered to work with us.
We have more supply of labour than demand.
Our goal is to grow Bide so that we can empower as many of these people as possible.
We need to:
Attract more customers
Win more contracts with Businesses
Get wider distribution in other stores
If you have any ideas how to support our ambition please get in touch.

Trees work together to ensure they all thrive.
They use their root system to share resources.
If a sapling is light deprived, then a more mature established tree will send it nutrients and sugar to help it grow taller.
They pool their resources and ensure a fair distribution of carbon through their network.
They use mycelium (mushroom threads) to connect their root system and in return for passing on these vital resources, allow the mushrooms to hold back some of the sugars for their own growth.
Imagine if we all acted like trees?
We would ensure that everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Communally we would all be healthier and stronger.
Who’s up for acting like a tree??

Challenging ourselves to be truly transparent also helps govern the decisions we make.
If we can’t hide anything then we should do nothing that we need to hide.

TRANSPARENCY in our business
Though we are a for-profit organisation, we want to be as acountable as a charity.
We believe that transparency is the best way to earn trust and credibility.
Trust from you our incredible tribe, trust from our home manufacturers and trust from the businesses we win contracts with.

EMPOWERMENT for everyone that works with us.
Our system is built to empower anyone to get work.
By bringing work to their doorsteps and not requiring any previous experience, we remove the barriers that may have held them back.
But we are not empowering enough.
We have only deployed approximately 0.1% of the home manufacturers who have registered to work with us.
We have more supply of labour than demand.
Our goal is to grow Bide so that we can empower as many of these people as possible.
We need to:
Attract more customers
Win more contracts with Businesses
Get wider distribution in other stores
If you have any ideas how to support our ambition please get in touch.

Trees work together to ensure they all thrive.
They use their root system to share resources.
If a sapling is light deprived, then a more mature established tree will send it nutrients and sugar to help it grow taller.
They pool their resources and ensure a fair distribution of carbon through their network.
They use mycelium (mushroom threads) to connect their root system and in return for passing on these vital resources, allow the mushrooms to hold back some of the sugars for their own growth.
Imagine if we all acted like trees?
We would ensure that everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Communally we would all be healthier and stronger.
Who’s up for acting like a tree??

It’s getting increasingly difficult to make informed decisions on which brands to back.
Are they ethical?
Are they truly sustainable?
Are they truly who they say they are?
We promise to always be 💯 transparent
