Create an App
A 12-week programme where students pitch real ideas, get selected by a panel of founders, and build working products with hands-on mentorship from our team.
Not a course. Not a simulation. A real build with real stakes.
The best way to learn to build is to actually build.
Most tech education teaches theory. We teach by doing. Students work alongside professional developers, designers, and product strategists to take their own idea from concept to a live, working application. The same team that's built 14+ ventures and £10M+ in portfolio valuations — mentoring the next generation.
Four stages to launch
Apply
Applications open to all students. Submit your idea — it doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to be real.
Pitch
Present your idea to a panel of startup founders and business leaders. Dragons' Den style — honest feedback, real stakes.
Build
The top 6-8 ideas get selected. 12 weeks of hands-on mentorship with our team — product strategy, design, development, and launch prep.
Launch
Ship a real product. Not a prototype, not a mockup — a working application that real people can use.
Two paths to getting involved
Got an idea? We'll help you build it.
- Work with professional developers, designers, and product strategists

- Walk away with something live that you built and own
Give your students real-world experience.

- You provide the students, the space, and the institutional support
- Small cohort (6-8 students) — high-quality, hands-on mentorship

- Pilot first, scale if it works — low risk, high impact
Expression of Interest
Whether you're a student with an idea or an institution looking to partner, we'd love to hear from you. No commitment — just a conversation.
The pilot starts soon.
We're launching the first cohort with a small group of students and one college partner. If it works, we scale it.
