About the programme

What this bootcamp does

For people who want to start properly: a clear concept, a customer you can name, numbers that hold up and paperwork in order. Every mission ends with one finished document, so by the last mission you are holding a complete business plan, a twelve-month projection, a compliance checklist and a pitch you can deliver in three minutes.

Who it's for

  • You want to start a business the right way round
  • You intend to apply for funding, a grant or a loan
  • You are tired of ideas that never become documents

By the end you'll have

  • A one-page business concept and ideal customer profile
  • A business model and pricing you can explain
  • A 12-month financial projection with a break-even point
  • Your first complete business plan, written by you
  • A funding-ready business profile and compliance checklist
  • A 3-minute funding pitch and application pack
Mission by mission

What you'll build, mission by mission

Funding-readiness community

Funding applications stall in private

Most people give up somewhere between the compliance list and the projections — alone, with no one to tell them it's normal. Your circle is five owners chasing the same readiness score.

Your circle

A circle of five owners preparing to apply

You're grouped with four others working the same funding missions, so the talk is about evidence folders and unit economics rather than first ideas.

  • Matched by bootcamp and study day
  • First names only — no funding league table
  • Same circle throughout, so context carries
Weekly check-in

One check-in a week, tied to your current mission

The thread asks for the deliverable — your fundable sentence, evidence folder, readiness score, 12-month projection — plus your blockers and next step.

  • What I did · Where I'm stuck · My next step
  • Fixed reactions: respect, same here, keep going
  • Three canned nudges, once per member per week
Benchmarks

See how ready you actually are

Anonymised ranges appear once five people have reported, so you can compare readiness scores and documents gathered instead of guessing whether you're close.

  • Readiness score out of 12, as ranges
  • Missions completed vs the rest of your cohort
  • Shown only with five or more reporters
Mentor support

A mentor who reads your numbers, not your hopes

Your paired mentor reviews your evidence, ask amount and projections, and tells you plainly which part a funder would question first.

  • Reviews your mission submissions personally
  • Follows up when a week goes quiet
  • Flags the weakest line before a funder does

Your weekly rhythm

  1. Monday

    Your three tasks for the week, pulled from the mission you're on.

  2. Midweek

    Post your check-in; react and nudge your circle.

  3. Friday

    What moved, what didn't, and what your mentor noticed.

Community, accountability and education only — no financial advice or funding guarantees.
