Case Study: the Centre for Entrepreneurs streamlines alumni tracking and partnership sourcing with Beauhurst

How Centre for Entrepreneurs Uses Beauhurst to Establish New Partnerships

The Centre for Entrepreneurs (CfE), a UK charity supporting aspiring founders, faced significant challenges in tracking the progress of its 300+ alumni and sourcing high-quality business partnerships for its development programme. Manually gathering data for impact reports was inefficient, and finding suitable partner companies through desk research and cold-calling was time-consuming with a low return rate. They turned to Beauhurst and its data platform to solve these problems.

By using Beauhurst's platform to create Collections of alumni companies and set up automated alerts, CfE streamlined its impact reporting with accurate growth metrics. The Advanced Search function enabled efficient lead sourcing for partnerships, allowing for targeted outreach. As a result, Beauhurst helped source 75-85% of partnership leads, massively reduced the team's workload, and provided the robust data needed for statutory reporting and demonstrating the programme's success.
