Cohort schedule
Submit the online application
We'll read your application within 7 days and get back to you with a decision of whether we'd like to interview you quickly. Apply individually, or as a team. You'll have to submit a 3-minute video introduction as part of this process.
Interview with us
If we think you're a great fit, we won't waste any time, and we will have you schedule this within a week of applying. We will ask you simple questions about your aspirations, your cofounder relationship, and previously impressive things you've done. Do not expect trick questions or brain-teasers.
Hear back within 48 hours
We know your time is valuable and we will let you know whether you've been accepted onto the upcoming cohort within two days.
Join the Discord network
Join the exclusive private online community. Here you'll be able to access our team, your cohort, and mentors.
We'll incorporate a company for you
This process can be complicated and easily screwed up. Our legal partner will help you get this right.
Move to London
If you're not already based in central London, we will help you to relocate, and pay for travel and accomodation during the batch.
Kickoff
Meet in-person with our team and your cohort, at the HQ, for an introductory keynote welcome talk, and to learn about what to expect.
Meet the batch
Meet your high-calibre peers, who've gone through the same interview process and succeeded, and have the same aspirations as you.
Unlock the knowledge bank
We've created a comprehensive set of technical guides, playbooks, and checklist best-practices, which is all available to the cohort online, in the "knowledge bank".
Meet serious mentors from the industry
You will meet people who've spent their careers in the industry and achieved massive success. Later, you'll have the opportunity to schedule office hours with them to get specific help.
Attend fundamental workshops from our team
Although in practice, you really have to live these lessons to learn them, we will try to teach you fundamental startup dos and don'ts.
Learn about the industry
You'll hear workshops from industry veterans and get the chance to speak to dozens of people doing everyday jobs in the industry. Your job here is to understand their problems, and think about what solutions an AI Copilot could be built for. At the end of this phase, you'll be an expert on the industry.
Access the technical founder's toolkit
Because every company we invest in has the focus of building an AI Copilot, there's a lot of boilerplate and specific technical lessons that apply broadly. All of this is available in the "technical founders toolkit", accessible through the knowledge base.
Build version zero
This will include a landing page, tracking, a sales funnel, and a process that solves your customer's problem.
Launch
Follow our checklist playbooks for a successful launch across Reddit, TechCrunch, and ProductHunt to get your first early users.
Get warm introductions to customers
We'll create a market of employees from the industry that currently struggle manually doing the task you're AI Copilot helps with.
We set up a cold email funnel for you
Cold email is painful to do manually, but delightfully effective when automated. If you need to book sales calls to make money, this will fill your pipeline.
We'll schedule continuous organic content for you
We'll help to generate content that can be shared across social channels like LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Instagram etc. This build reputation, demonstrates expertise, and creates another channel of leads who can convert into customers.
Use office hours to solve problems
You will have the opportunity to book individual time with our team, and veteran industry mentors for when you need to talk through a specific problem that our partners have prob
We'll help create your roadmap towards a successful early exit
The outcome for all of our companies and founders is a successful exit - where the company is sold, and the equity in the company converts into something tangible. This can be a difficult path to navigate, and is often overlooked. We'll help you to plan it out.
Raise your next round
At the end of the cohort, we'll host a demo-day. Here, we'll create a market of investors that want to invest in early stage AI companies like yours, and help you secure seed funding to take the company to the next level.
