Built by practitioners from
Most bootcamps leave students with nothing they can show afterwards. The AI Startup Bootcamp is different. Students work 1-on-1 with a mentor 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.
A working AI-powered MVP — something you built, not just learned about
An 8–10 slide investor-style pitch deck
A 1-minute founder demo video
A GitHub repository with your code
1-on-1 mentorship from engineers at Imperial, Stanford, MIT & industry founders
Built across 8–20 hours, self-paced around school

What Students Say
"I had the idea for an AI symptom checker after work experience in A&E. My mentor helped me actually build it — not just describe it. The demo in my interview at Imperial got a 20-minute conversation."

"The trading bot didn't just work — it outperformed the benchmark on back-test. My mentor helped me understand why, not just how. That depth is what landed me my LSE interview."

"I went from a vague idea to a product that 12 of my classmates actually use. The user research report was as valuable as the code — it taught me how to test whether something actually works."
