Online Workshop

InnovateLab is a 6-day, hands-on group workshop for early-stage founders who want to stop running their businesses on manual effort and start using AI to power sales, marketing, finance and operations.

Across six sessions, you’ll learn how to plug AI into the real workflows you and your team use every day – so you can move faster, make better decisions and build a business that’s ready to grow.

Are you feeling like AI is moving faster than your business?

Still stuck in manual spreadsheets, repetitive tasks and copy-paste campaigns while everyone talks about automation?

Most founders we meet are

  • Spending hours on repetitive, low-leverage work
  • Manually running sales and marketing
  • Struggling to understand customers at scale
  • Overwhelmed by AI tools and jargon
  • Unsure what’s real, what’s hype and what’s relevant for their stage

Who this is for

InnovateLab is built for early-stage founders and SME leaders who know AI matters, but need structured, contextual support to adopt it in a way that actually moves the needle.

"Ideal for founders ready to scale sales, marketing and operations more intelligently."

  • Post-MVP, with some real traction
  • Serving B2C or B2B markets
  • Running lean teams needing efficiency
  • Too busy to 'figure out AI' on their own
  • Ready to scale operations intelligently

What you’ll walk away with

You don’t just leave with ideas – you leave with templates, workflows, dashboards and prompts you can keep using long after the workshop ends.

AI-assisted customer understanding

Clear customer personas and segments built using AI-powered research and synthesis.

A sharper marketing engine

Funnel-based marketing, content and performance ideas supported by AI tools, plus a 6-month marketing strategy you can actually execute.

A growth roadmap, not just goals

A North Star Metric, SMART milestones, and an AI-assisted roadmap laid out in timelines, tasks and owners.

Sales workflows that scale

Practical exposure to AI-assisted prospecting, lead scoring, outreach workflows and CRM flows that reduce manual follow-up.

Finance basics with AI support

Simple bookkeeping structures, core unit economics and AI-assisted dashboards to track cash flow and key numbers.

AI guardrails and safe use practices

A clear understanding of AI ethics, data privacy and how to use AI safely with your business and customer data.
