Limited to 8 members per cohort.

OUR MISSION

Translating AI into commercial outcomes for business owners.

AI is moving faster than any business owner can reasonably keep up with. The cost of making the wrong investment is increasing, and waiting too long puts you behind competitors.

We spend our time testing and evaluating what's new, and deliver it to hand-picked cohorts of business owners that are facing similar challenges.

OUR SOLUTION

Private advisory, delivered in hand-picked cohorts.

We operate a structured program delivered in small cohorts of business owners who are at a similar stage or facing similar challenges.

Fortnightly Hands-on Sessions

The core of the program. Every two weeks, we run a 60-minute live session where we walk your cohort through a specific AI tool or workflow that is relevant right now.

We demonstrate real use cases, and give you space to ask the questions that matter to your business. Topics are driven by what has just been released, what we have already tested, and what is most useful for your group at that point in time.

WHY IT WORKS

Our process maximises quality, not quantity.

We vet every application personally. Cohorts are small and intentionally matched, so the quality of the group matters as much as the quality of the content.
