No fee. No equity. No catch.

Pitch me. If it aligns, I will build it with you.

I started my first business at 15 with no money and no idea what I was doing. The tooling I have now would have changed that entirely. So: if you are a student, a young founder, or a school, college or university with something worth building, tell me what it is.

Write your pitch

A long dinner table laid for a private dining room, guests seated down both sides under chandeliers — Private dinner, London

You pitch

In your own words, below. No business plan, no deck, no jargon. What it is, who it helps, why you.

I read it

Personally, all of them. Everyone gets an answer and a reason — including the ones I pass on, which will be most of them.

We build it

If it aligns, we build it together, in the open, and you keep it. You learn how it was made rather than being handed a black box.

Being straight with you

I am one person. I can properly back a small number of these, so most pitches will get a no. A no is not a verdict on your idea — it usually means I am not the right help for it.
I am not investing money and I am not taking equity. What I am giving is the build and the thinking around it.
For schools and colleges, the useful version is usually a workshop with a group rather than one project — a room of people leaving with something they made. Say so in the pitch and I will scope it that way.
If you are under 18, get a parent, carer or teacher to apply with you and put their name in the pitch. I will only work through your school or an adult who knows you.

Your pitch

Write it like you would say it out loud. Polish is not what I am marking.
