Fundamentals first, artificial intelligence second
Artificial intelligence does not cancel out what you already know. On this programme you learn how a business actually works, who your customer is and what your numbers have to do, and then you learn to lay artificial intelligence over that.
What you already carry with you is the foundation the tools sit on. It is not something the tools replace. That is why this is nine hours of business training with artificial intelligence running through it, not nine hours of software demonstrations.
Built for people who have an idea, not a budget
Barbadian women and young people aged 16 to 35
No prior experience with artificial intelligence required
Anyone with a business idea, or a business already trading that needs to grow
Places also filled by nomination through community organisations and youth groups
You need a laptop. Connectivity is provided at the venue.
Three Saturdays, one business
What artificial intelligence is and is not, and the types of systems available
How to direct artificial intelligence well, and where it gets things wrong
Business models and unit economics
Customer research, market sizing and testing whether the idea has buyers
Every participant who completes the programme submits the business they have built and receives a Certificate of Completion. The three strongest submissions are coached and return to pitch live before a panel and an audience. The final is designed as much to build confidence as to pick a winner, so finalists leave able to present their business to a room, a bank or a customer. The winner receives prizes contributed by the programme's partners to support the launch of their business. The full prize package is published on this page as partners confirm.
