Former Forbes 30 Under 30 Entrepreneur Samanah Duran Announces BEYOUROWN Rebrand as a Business Ecosystem Bringing Female Entrepreneurship and Business Growth Under One Umbrella
LONDON, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Samanah Duran, former Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, entrepreneur and female business personality, has announced a significant rebrand and strategic transformation of BEYOUROWN, marking a major new chapter for the platform and its ambition to reshape how female-founded businesses are supported, developed and scaled.
Moving beyond the traditional boundaries of a digital media platform, BEYOUROWN is evolving into a well-curated ecosystem for ambitious women building remarkable ventures.
The new direction places female entrepreneurship, business growth and women’s leadership at the centre of a connected platform designed to bring together media, visibility, business development, professional connections, specialist resources and commercial opportunities. BEYOUROWN is establishing a broader vision: building, scaling and housing female-founded companies while supporting female leaders under one umbrella.
Alongside her work as an entrepreneur and the driving force behind decade young BEYOUROWN, Samanah Duran is also the founder of Siren Grounds, a premium speciality coffee company operating within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Building a product-based business has given Duran first-hand insight into the realities of female entrepreneurship, from developing a consumer brand and navigating product development to understanding the commercial, operational and financial resources required to grow and scale a business.
Her experience establishing Siren Grounds has also shaped her perspective on the importance of female founder networks, peer-to-peer support and access to experienced business professionals. Through her own entrepreneurial journey, Duran recognised how valuable it is for women in business to have an ecosystem of fellow founders, industry experts and established leaders they can turn to for advice, collaboration, connections and practical support.
From Media Platform to Business Ecosystem
The transformation represents a significant evolution in the positioning and structure of BEYOUROWN. Previously recognised for its focus on celebrating women in business, entrepreneurial stories and female leadership, the platform is now expanding its role beyond editorial exposure to create a more integrated environment for women building and leading businesses.
Samanah Duran’s vision for BEYOUROWN builds on her previous experience working alongside and championing influential talent, entrepreneurs and business leaders across a range of industries. The BEYOUROWN journey has included working with and supporting notable female figures, including Andrea Reynolds, Founder and CEO of Swoop Funding; Joanna Jensen, Entrepreneur and founder behind Childs Farm; Alex Box, Founder of V-Metics; and Celia Paul, whose work with DAME focuses on tackling period poverty. Her experience also extends to working with C-suit level and industry experts at Starling Bank, Llyods Banking Group, ASDA Money, and fintech giant Sum-Up by loaning on their expertise, giving her exposure to the evolving worlds of entrepreneurship, financial services, innovation and female-led business. These experiences have helped shape her understanding of the importance of visibility, meaningful connections and creating opportunities for women building and leading businesses.
