The 12-Week Curriculum
A step-by-step journey from idea to a launch-ready business, broken down into three core phases.
Phase 1: Foundation & Ideation (Weeks 1-4)
We'll deconstruct the visa requirements, use AI to find and validate an innovative business idea, and handle the fundamentals of UK company registration and compliance.
Phase 2: Build & Launch (Weeks 5-8)
This is where we get hands-on. You'll build your MVP with no-code tools, create an AI-powered marketing machine, automate your operations, and build your financial models.
Phase 3: Pitch & Grow (Weeks 9-12)
We'll perfect your pitch deck, practice presenting to an endorsing body, learn to network in the UK tech scene, and create a growth plan for your first 6 months post-endorsement.
