Nine weeks part-time. A structured process. A real business plan at the end - stress-tested by people who've built companies before.
Good. We'll put it through the same rigour every idea goes through - held up against your values, tested against the market, refined until it's sharper than when you walked in.
Half our founders arrive with something already in mind.
That's completely fine, and more common than you'd think. Before we touch business ideas at all, we spend real time on who you are - your skills, your values, what kind of working life you actually want.
The idea comes later, and it comes from there.
Personal sessions with a Sparksli coach at every stage - starting before any idea is even on the table.
Design-thinking sessions with your cohort of up to 10, co-facilitated by the founders.
Always-on startup specialists you can call on between sessions - sparring partners, not just tools.
We help you apply AI to shape and test your business ideas, learning AI by using AI.
Self-paced modules - sales, financial modelling, personal branding - unlocked as you need them.
Up to 10 people going through the same process at the same time. Real peers, real accountability.
It starts with a real profile - your skills, personality, existing idea maturity (if any), AI comfort level, and capacity. This shapes your personal pathway through everything that follows.
Before any business idea is touched, group workshops and 1:1 coaching explore who you are and what you actually want your working life to look like. Most people find this is the part that changes everything.
If you arrived with an idea, it's refined and stress-tested against your values profile. If you didn't, structured methods - built to prevent the 'blank page' problem - generate real, personally-aligned options.
A rigorous feasibility filter: a pre-mortem to find the assumptions that could kill it, and a low-fidelity test - a landing page, a manual service, a smoke test - you can run in 48 hours.
A panel of experienced business builders sits at the end of Innovation. Not a pitch competition - a rigorous, good-faith stress test. Is the idea genuinely differentiated? Are you the right person to build it? Is there real evidence of market interest? Clear this, and you move into Incubation.
