"Launchology Academy gave me the confidence and skills to quit my job and launch my own startup. The financial modelling course alone was so helpful!"

Founder, SaaS B2C
The honest, all-in-one platform that takes you from a rough idea to launch and funding ready. Proven frameworks, an AI co-founder that challenges you instead of flattering you, and the tools the big-name accelerators charge a fortune for. No gatekeeping or going it alone.

“I've got an idea, but no real idea where to actually start.”
“I can't afford a big-name accelerator, and I probably wouldn't get in anyway.”
“I'm doing this on my own, and it's lonely and overwhelming.”
“I know I'll need funding one day, but investors feel like a closed club.”
All of this is normal. None of it stops you.
Here's how we help.

A co-founder who won't just tell you what you want to hear. Trained on the frameworks that actually get founders launched and funded, it knows your startup and gives you honest feedback 24/7.
Let Co-Founder review or build your key assets: pitch decks, financial models, marketing plans. Let it answer the tricky calls: ask it anything.

The accelerator for founders the big names turn away. We have no gatekeepers, no fixed schedules, no waiting to be selected. Our Accelerator is an industry-first for its format, accessibility and AI-powered founder tools and resources.
80+ lessons across 10 modules take you from idea to launch to funding ready, at your own pace. Any founder, any stage, any idea.

Stop guessing which investors to approach. When you're ready to raise, our Smart Matching tool filters 5,500+ investors, including 500+ angels, down to the ones who back founders like you, by stage, sector, size of raise and location. See your top matches in seconds.
No fluff, practical, expert-built courses covering the specific skills founders actually need, from modelling your finances to nailing your pitch. Watch at your pace, apply as you go. Self-paced learning with tailored AI integration.
How to come up with the perfect startup or business idea for you, and how to validate your early ideas and concepts.
Create the perfect branding for your startup, after learning about the key techniques, tips and tricks, and what common mistakes to avoid!
Templates, guides and blueprints for the documents that used to take weeks and cost a fortune: pitch decks, business plans, financial models and more. Download, customise, done. Members get the whole library.

Every founder is asked the same question, and most of them guess: how much do you actually need to raise?This model answers it. Build your forecast, and the lowest point on the cash flow is your funding gap, in pounds, with the workings behind it. Not a number you picked because it sounded credible.Built for UK companies:Corporation tax, employer National Insurance, pension contributions and cost inflation are all in the assumptions, applied properly. Most templates you will find are American, and quietly leave out the employment costs that make a UK hiring plan expensive.8 tabs, three years, monthly:Assumptions – every driver in one place, so changing a price or a growth rate updates the whole modelSalaries – headcount by role, with employer costs added on topIncome & Expenditure – leads through conversions and organic sales to revenue, then variable and fixed costsCash Flow – monthly, and where your funding gap appearsOverview – the 3-year pictureInvestor Overview & ROI – key ratios, EBITDA margin, a valuation on an EBITDA multiple, and an equity calculator showing what a given raise costs you at a given pre-moneyDashboard – revenue, EBITDA, revenue split, LTV, CAC and payback, with charts you can screenshot straight into a deckMarket Sizing – a TAM, SAM and SOM worksheet with room for your research and your sourcesAssumptions you can defend:Every driver sits in its own labelled cell and every figure is a formula. When an investor asks why revenue triples in year two, you can point at the assumption that does it and change it in front of them. A model with hardcoded revenue reads as a guess, and experienced investors spot one in seconds.Worked example included:The template arrives populated with a fictional business so you can see how the tabs feed each other before you replace the numbers with your own. Editable input cells are shaded, so you always know what is safe to change.Who it's for:Founders building their first proper forecast, and anyone who has been asked for a financial model and is not sure what one is supposed to contain.Go one step further:If you'd like help building your own financial model from scratch, head over to our dedicated course on Financial Modelling for Your Business.

Most founders find out their idea was not validated after they have built it. This free scorecard tells you before.Twenty-five questions, five weighted areas, and an honest verdict in about twenty minutes. It measures the evidence you actually have, not how confident you feel about it.What you get:A score out of 100 across the five things that decide whether an idea survivesA plain verdict, from Unproven through to Beyond validationYour three weakest areas, ranked by how much they are costing you, with a specific action for eachThe full scoring model on its own tab, so nothing is a black boxHow it's scored:Problem Evidence, 30% – is the problem real, painful and proven outside your own head?Demand Signal, 25% – has anyone done something that cost them time, money or data?Customer Clarity, 20% – do you know precisely who has it, and can you reach them?Solution Fit, 15% – does what you are building address the evidenced problem, and why you?Viability, 10% – can it make money, and can you actually build it?Problem Evidence and Demand Signal are more than half the score between them. That is deliberate. Startups very rarely fail because the solution was not clever enough.The Demand Signal rule:If your Demand Signal score comes in below 40%, your verdict is capped no matter how well you score everywhere else. You cannot be ready to build something that nobody has yet done anything to get. It is the part of the scorecard founders like least, and the part that saves the most time.Every answer is a fixed option describing what has actually happened, rather than an agree or disagree scale. Founders agree with themselves.Who it's for:Anyone with an idea they have not yet proven. Pre-revenue, pre-build, or already building and quietly unsure whether the evidence is really there.Ready to go further?This scorecard is free. Builder is £39 a month and includes every course, the full library of templates and kits, the investor database with smart matching across 5,500+ investors, and an uncapped AI Co-Founder that knows your startup.

Most AI prompt packs are a list of questions you could have thought of yourself. This one is built for your Launchology Co-Founder, which already knows your startup, so the prompts do something a generic chatbot cannot.57 prompts across nine jobs, from pressure-testing an idea to preparing a raise. Each one names the mode to switch to, the stage it suits, and what a good answer actually looks like.Why these don't work anywhere else:Your Co-Founder holds your startup name, your one-liner, your sector, your target customer, the problem, your solution and your stage. So none of these prompts waste half their length describing your business back to it."Who is already solving this for my target customer, including manual workarounds and doing nothing?" is a complete prompt here. Paste it into a general AI tool and it has no idea who your customer is.The 9 jobs:Sharpen the ideaUnderstand the customerTest demandPrice and packageBuild the right thingFind customersPrepare to raisePitch and deckRun the companyThe column that matters most:Every prompt comes with a note on what a good answer looks like. An answer that would be equally true for any startup in any sector is not an answer, and knowing how to spot that is worth more than the prompt itself.A fair few of these ask the Co-Founder to disagree with you. That is deliberate. The prompts that invite a hard answer are the ones worth your time.It builds your own shortlist:Mark a prompt Shortlist or Keep and it gathers itself onto a My Shortlist tab, along with any notes you wrote about what it gave you. Nothing is typed on that tab, so your notes can never drift away from the prompt they belong to. After a fortnight you have your own working set rather than someone else's list of 57.Start with five:On the free plan you get five Co-Founder interactions a day. There is a tab showing exactly which five to spend your first day on, in order: what could be wrong, the one thing worth testing, the script for testing it, the cheapest test, and what you do this week. You finish the day with a plan rather than a reading list.Ready to go further?This library is free.
