AI Startup Programme

AI Startup Summer Bootcamp

What are your kids doing this summer? They could be wasting it away — or they could be building their own startup.

Build a real AI product — not a school project. Work 1-on-1 with engineers and founders from Imperial, Stanford, MIT & Harvard, and industry professionals from Intel, IBM, Bain & Company, and Novo Nordisk.

  • Ship a working AI product by the end — a real MVP with a GitHub repo and a hosted demo, not a participation certificate
  • Alumni have gone on to raise pre-seed funding from Angels and VCs — with the product they built here as the proof point
  • 1-on-1 with engineers and founders who've shipped real products — from Imperial, Stanford, MIT, and Y Combinator
  • Your child picks an industry they care about: HealthTech, FinTech, EdTech, ClimaTech — then builds in it

Most 'summer camps' leave students with nothing they can show afterwards. The AI Startup Bootcamp is different. Students work 1-on-1 with a instructor who's actually built things — engineers from Imperial College London, founders, and AI practitioners — to take an idea from problem statement to working AI prototype. There are no fixed weekly deadlines: you book sessions when it suits you and progress at a pace that works around your schedule.

By the end, every student leaves with a working MVP, a pitch deck, a 1-minute founder video, and a real story they can talk about on UCAS, in interviews, and on LinkedIn. This is the version of 'what I did' that universities and employers actually remember.
