NextGen AI Launchpad – Pilot Programme
The NextGen AI Launchpad is a new, AI-based business operating system designed to help founders build, test and run their business more efficiently.
We’re currently running a small number of free pilot workshops in Staffordshire to refine the Launchpad ahead of wider rollout. Places are limited and offered on a first-come basis.
What is the NextGen AI Launchpad?
The Launchpad is not just a workshop or a learning programme.
It is an AI-powered operating system that brings together the tools founders actually need to run their business day to day — all in one place.
Instead of juggling spreadsheets, templates, platforms and guesswork, the Launchpad helps you build, test, adjust and grow your business in real time, with structure, clarity and financial visibility.
Who Is Launchpad For?
The Launchpad is suitable if you are:
Considering starting a business
Recently launched
Already trading but want to re-test your model and improve traction
You do not need to be at the very beginning.
Many businesses stall because:
the market has shifted
pricing doesn’t stack up
costs have crept up
effort isn’t converting into traction
The Launchpad helps you step back, pressure-test what you’re building, and refine it with confidence.
The Workshop ->What happens at the pilot workshop?
The pilot workshop is a high-impact, one-day session designed to activate the system and get you moving quickly.
By the end of the day, you will have:
Tested and validated your business idea or current model
Clear understanding of your market and customer
Visibility over pricing, costs and financial viability
A structured plan to move forward using the Launchpad
Businesses leave the session enterprise-ready, with tools they can continue using long after the workshop.
What’s in the toolkit?
Participants in the pilot receive 12 months’ access to the NextGen AI Launchpad, including tools such as:
-
Website and landing page builder
Marketing campaign builder (emails, funnels, ads, posters)
Content studio for blogs, social posts and messaging
Brand and strategy tools (personas, USP, tone of voice, content pillars)
-
SWOT and PESTLE analysis
Competitor insights
Market and positioning validation
-
Cash flow calculators
Profit margin calculators
Break-even analysis
Pricing and growth forecasting tools
These tools are built directly into the system to give you clear financial insight as you make decisions — not months later when it’s too late to course-correct.
-
Proposal and document generators
Email and letter writing tools
Meeting notes and transcription
AI customer support and phone assistant functionality
Why ->Why are we running pilots?
These pilot workshops are being delivered to:
Test and refine the Launchpad operating system
Generate real-world case studies
Demonstrate outcomes across different types of businesses
The pilots are fully funded by us, meaning:
No cost to attend
12 months’ Launchpad access included
No obligation to continue after the pilot period
Places are limited to ensure quality and meaningful support.
