1:1 · 6 weeks · single executive · founder-led

Take it off your plate. A 6-week AI sprint.

A bespoke 1:1 sprint for a senior executive carrying AI alone. Six weeks of weekly 75-minute sessions with a founder, plus continuous async support, building AI that does your work, tuned to how you lead. We take things off your plate, not add something new to learn. Very small group available on request.

For the executive carrying AI alone at the top.

The engagement

How a 1:1 sprint works.

Chemistry call to confirm fit. Contract. A rigorous async audit of your day-to-day to find the highest-ROI AI integration points before week one.

The access

Weekly 1:1 + continuous async.

75-minute weekly session plus Slack/WhatsApp/Loom async between calls. Your founder-coach is reachable, not just scheduled.

The confidentiality

Nothing leaves the room.

No case studies. No names. No sharing across clients. What you bring stays between you and your founder-coach.

The sprint

Three phases. Six weeks. AI doing your work, at your pace.

  1. Before week 1 · AUDIT

    Find the highest-ROI integration points.

    A rigorous async audit of your day-to-day (inbox triage, strategy synthesis, managing direct reports, decision-making and comms) to target where AI takes the most off your plate.

  2. Weeks 1–5 · BUILD

    Weekly 1:1s + continuous async.

    You build proprietary workflows, custom instructions and personal AI assistants tuned to your leadership style and the company's tech stack. DOTS applied to your context, troubleshooting between sessions.

  3. Week 6 · EMBED

    Running without us.

    Your AI operating model is live and yours: workflows and assistants you run independently, plus access to the network.

Four outcomes. Personal, not public.

01

Personal AI operating model

How you specifically use AI in your role: built around your context, not a framework template.

02

Bespoke workflows & AI assistants

Proprietary workflows, custom instructions and personal AI assistants tuned to your leadership style and the company's tech stack.

03

Capability to run it

You leave able to execute without us. No ongoing dependency.

04

Access to the network

Introductions to the Accelerator X founder and client network where relevant.

Honest about fit

For leaders who'd rather be challenged than managed.

Right fit if you…

  • Are carrying AI responsibility alone at C-suite or founder level.
  • Can't be fully candid about your challenges in a group setting.
  • Want a thinking partner, not a trainer.
  • Can commit to 75 minutes a week for 6 weeks.

Probably not for you if you…

  • Would benefit more from peer learning and group accountability.
  • Are looking for technical AI training rather than strategic capability.
  • Need a deliverable for your board rather than personal development.
Questions

The questions executives ask.

  • Why from £10,000 for 1:1 when a cohort place is £3,500?

    Fair question. A cohort place buys you a seat in a room of 10–12: shared time, a set pace, a shared curriculum. The 1:1 is the opposite: a founder's undivided attention for six weeks, an engagement built entirely around your role and your stack, moving at your pace, with us doing the work alongside you rather than teaching to a group. It's also opportunity cost, that time would otherwise fill a whole cohort. Premium, scarce, and bespoke. If the cohort economics suit you better, we'll say so.

  • How is this different from a business coach or AI training?

    A coach asks good questions; a trainer teaches a syllabus. We do neither in isolation; we build, with you. By the end you have proprietary workflows, custom instructions and personal AI assistants running in your real work, tuned to how you lead and the company's tech stack. The promise is we take things off your plate, not add something new to learn and do.

  • Will my work stay confidential?

    Completely. 1:1 work is confidential: nothing is shared across clients, no case studies, no names. What you build is yours to keep and run. We handle NDAs directly with you where needed.

  • Can I choose my founder-coach?

    Tell us what you're working on and we'll match you to the right founder: Toby leads on strategy and the partnership, Andy on product, architecture and hands-on implementation. Either way you get a dedicated founder for the full six weeks, not a rotating bench.

  • What if it's not working, can I stop?

    Yes: no value, no payment. You get two full sessions and the resources are yours to keep; if it's not for you, cancel before the third and you owe nothing. Beyond that there's no lock-in. We'd rather earn your confidence than hold you to a contract.

  • Is there a call before I commit, and what about rescheduling?

    Always a chemistry call first to confirm fit: we only take on engagements we're confident in. Once you start, the sessions flex around your calendar and the continuous async support carries on between them, so a moved session never stalls the work.
