Turn your idea into something real in five days. Build a working product, test it with real users, and leave with a clear next-step plan. Built for founders ready to move from thinking to doing. Apply by 31st July.
Most startup ideas die on a Notion page. Not because they’re bad, but because founders never get out of their own heads.
This bootcamp fixes that.
Over five days, with the help of AI, you’ll go from a rough idea to a live product, validated with real users. No theory lectures. No pitch deck theatre. No networking drinks pretending to be work. Just five days of focused building, testing, and shipping, with operators who have actually done it.
You’ll be pushed hard. That’s the point.
Why this works in five days…
Five years ago, this would have taken three months or more. Now, AI compresses the entire build–test–iterate cycle.
This isn’t theory. It’s how modern startups ship.
Kill the bits that don’t matter by using AI to challenge your assumptions and generate alternative angles. We will strip your idea down to the core problem worth solving and define what success by Friday actually looks like. By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear, testable direction, not just a vague idea, something sharp enough to build and validate immediately.
We run customer interviews, together. You'll speak to at least five potential users before lunch on Tuesday. We teach you how to ask questions that don't lie to you. You either confirm the problem is real, or you pivot fast.
Using AI-assisted development, you’ll go from a rough idea to a functional product. You’ll build real features using no-code tools and AI coding assistants, removing the usual setup and busywork so you can focus on what actually matters, and by the end you’ll have something live and usable, not just a prototype or mock-up.
Real users. Real feedback. You'll push your product to a small test audience, watch how they use it, and iterate the same day. This is where most bootcamps end. We're just getting started.
Pricing, positioning, first ten customers, first month's priorities. You leave with a concrete plan, a working product, and a pitch that's been sharpened by a week of pressure testing. We end with a demo session to invited investors, operators, and potential customers.
A working product, live on the internet. Five to ten customer conversations worth of real market data. A 90-day execution plan you actually believe in. A cohort of founders who watched you build it and will tell you the truth going forward.
You’re coached by founders, operators, and engineers who have built, scaled, and exited companies. Not academics. Not career consultants. People who ship.
Date: w/c 14th September
Location: DJ Hub onsite Block 3 The Forum Grenville Street St. Helier JE2 4UF
Hours: 9am to 7pm daily. Evenings are for building.
Cohort size: 12 founders maximum.
No cost
Both. If you’re a team, at least two of you need to commit to the full week. No dropping in.
No. Roughly half of each cohort are non-technical founders. We give you the tools to build without code, and we pair you with technical mentors when needed.
Then you’ll know by Tuesday. That’s worth the price of admission on its own. Most founders spend a year finding out what you’ll find out in a week.
Yes. Everything you build is yours. We don’t take equity.
On Friday, yes. The demo session is a real room with real capital. But we don’t optimise the week around fundraising. We optimise it around shipping something worth funding.
Yes you can, that’s one of the benefits of this, you can explore and get investment before taking the leap. You must be there for the full five days though, so remember to slot in that annual leave.
Applications take fifteen minutes. We respond within 48 hours. Closing date for applications is 31st July.
