UNLOCK YOUR NEW LEVERAGE
WHO IT'S FOR

Built for professionals who can't afford to wait.

The frustrated VP

You have an internal tool idea that's been deprioritised for 18 months. Engineering won't touch it. You've stopped asking.

The accidental founder

You're leaving institutional life with domain expertise and a clear idea. You need an MVP before you can hire anyone.

The innovation lead

Your job is to evaluate AI but you rely on vendors to explain what's possible. You want fluency, not dependency.

The senior partner

You want to automate repetitive work, build client tools, or test ideas fast — without writing a single line of code.

One day. Eight sessions. One working app.

Designed for professionals who move fast and expect results. Every session builds directly toward the app you present at 4:30pm.

09:00
The New Leverage

Why AI has permanently shifted who can build what. The operator mindset: from consumer of software to creator of it.

LEARN
09:45
Decompose Anything

How to break any idea into buildable components. You'll define and pressure-test your app idea using a structured framework.

Prompting as a Professional Skill

Precision prompting for business outcomes. How to brief AI the way you'd brief a sharp analyst — and why that framing unlocks everything.

LEARN
12:00
Working Lunch + 60-Second Pitches

Every participant pitches their app idea. Peer feedback, instructor validation, final refinement before building begins.

BUILD

Build Session 1

First working prototype. Instructor-guided. Every participant ships something functional before 2:30pm.

Debug, Design, Polish

How to diagnose what's broken without knowing code. The design decisions that make your app look like you hired someone.

BUILD
16:00
The Ceiling

A live demonstration of what operator-level thinking looks like at institutional scale. The ceiling is higher than you think.

SPECIAL
16:30
Ship and Present

Every participant presents their finished app. What it solves, who it's for, what's next. This is the graduation moment.

BUILD
17:30
Close + The Operator Stack

Everything you take home: tools, prompts, frameworks, playbook. What to build next week.

WHAT YOU'LL BUILD

Real tools. Real problems. Built in a day.

Client reporting dashboard

Pull structured data into a clean client-facing view. Eliminate 4 hours of weekly manual work.

Meeting intelligence tool

Paste a transcript, get action items, owner assignments, and a draft follow-up email. Done in 30 seconds.

Internal knowledge base

Search your firm's documents, policies, and precedents using natural language. No more digging through shared drives.

WHAT YOU TAKE HOME

You leave with more than an app.

01
A working deployed app

Built by you, solving a real problem you chose.

02
The Operator Playbook

Tools, prompts, frameworks, and templates from the full day.

03
30-day office hours

A follow-up session one month later to unblock whatever you've been building.

04
Alumni access

Direct line to future cohort members, resources, and programme updates.

INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXTS

Built for institutional contexts.

  • You'll learn which AI tools log your inputs — and which don't
  • You'll understand the difference between consumer and enterprise API tiers
  • You'll know how to build without exposing client data or firm information
  • You'll understand data residency, storage, and what RLS means for your tools
  • You'll leave knowing what your IT and Legal teams will ask — and how to answer

Your idea has been waiting long enough.

12 seats. One Saturday. Everything changes.
