Most people arrive with an idea they have been sitting on, and no way to build it. Ten weeks later they have a working product.

Our first cohort shipped eight apps between them - a compliance tool for landlords, a CV gap analyser, an operations system for a community welfare van, a wellbeing app. Several people built more than one.

None of them wrote code to do it.

Weeks 1 - 3

Shape the idea

  • Customer discovery: who is this actually for?
  • Value proposition and go-to-market
  • Decide what the first version needs to do, and what it doesn't

Weeks 4 - 8

Build it

  • Five weeks hands-on with no-code and AI build tools
  • Data, integrations and tech stack, explained in plain English
  • One-to-one mentoring as you hit real problems

Weeks 9 - 10

Test and present

  • Put it in front of real users and refine
  • Learn to pitch and communicate the value of what you've built
  • Present at the showcase evening to guests and supporters

Cohort presentation night: eight Barnsley founders demo the apps they built in ten weeks.
