A working product
Built around your real idea, that someone can actually use.
FOR FOUNDERS · NO TECHNICAL BACKGROUND NEEDED
From problemto proof of concept.
Build a proof of concept investors can actually use, with AI and with me alongside you. You don't need to be technical, and you don't need a co-founder who codes.
You apply first, so I can check it's a fit. A few founders at a time, so the support is real. Rolling start, subject to availability.
something real to put in the room
THE PROBLEM THIS SOLVES
The pre-seed catch-22
Pre-seed is a catch-22. You need money to build something that proves the idea, and you need something that proves the idea to raise the money.
AI breaks that. With the right method, and someone who's built and shipped products for thirty years alongside you, you can build a real, testable proof of concept first, and go to investors with the thing, not a deck about it. Then you take it to the market and find out if you've got fit.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
A product, not a pitch deck
You're here for the result. Here's what you'll have in hand at the end.
Evidence it works
Tested with real users, with the results to show.
A product that demos well
So it presents cleanly when you put it in front of an investor.
A clear product story
The one-line version of what you've built and why it matters.
The skills to keep going
After the programme, so you're not dependent on anyone to keep improving it.
HOW IT WORKS
The same mission, pointed at one thing
We follow the same mission as the main course (pre-flight, mission plan, trajectory, build, launch), but everything points at one thing: getting your product to a state you'd be proud to show. You get more support than a course gives, because you're here to build the product, not to learn design for its own sake.
01
Shape it
Pin down the idea, the user and the problem worth solving.
02
Define it
Decide what the first version must do, and what it can leave out.
03
Build it
Make the product with AI, with hands-on help at every turn.
04
Prove it
Test it with real users, sharpen the demo, and get it ready to show.
Support the whole way
Throughout, you get a personalised AI co-pilot tracking your build and emailing you a branded deck at each step, and me on WhatsApp whenever you need me.
Direct on WhatsApp
Straight talk
I can get you to a real, tested product that shows your idea works. Whether you raise comes down to your market, your team and your timing, and that part is yours. What you'll have is the thing that gets you in the room.
TAUGHT BY SOMEONE WHO'S SHIPPED FOR 30 YEARS
I've designed and built products at Microsoft, Channel 4, Sainsbury's, NatWest and E.ON, and rebuilt the way I work around AI on real 0-to-1 products. I'll be alongside you for the whole build, helping you make something investors will take seriously.
