Stop planning.
Start business now.

From idea to live business in 10 working days within a month. We guide you through a proven framework — best practices from the world's leading companies, applied to your business — with AI on your side at every step.

AI at your fingertips
Tasks that used to take weeks: investment plan, website, brand identity — AI helps you do in hours. There are no excuses for you anymore to postpone.
Structure that makes you do
A proven 10-day framework adapted from Fortune 500 product methodology for people moving fast with no big budget.
Community of builders
You work on your own idea alongside others doing the same. Accountability, momentum, and real peer feedback built in from day one.
Why now

AI changed what's possible for solo founders.

For the first time, one person with the right methodology has the same capabilities as a fully funded team. The gap between idea and first sale has never been smaller. At every step, you'll learn how to apply the right AI tools to move faster and spend less.

AI as your co-builder
We use AI tools at every step: from validating your idea to generating your first marketing content. You learn by doing.
Proven business frameworks
The same structured methods used to launch products inside Fortune 500 companies, adapted for solo founders moving fast.
Community of builders
You work on your business alongside other founders doing the same thing at the same time, to keep you accountable.
Expert facilitation
Led by AI practitioners with real experience building and scaling products. This is not a course — you need dedication to work on your business with us in the room.
Who this is for

Sound familiar?

You have a stable job, but...

You dream of building something of your own

Sunday nights, there's an idea you can't stop thinking about. You don't want to quit your job to figure it out — you want a low-risk way to test if it has legs and get your first customer.

You have an idea, but...

You can't seem to actually start

You've been thinking about this for months — maybe years. You're tired of planning and "getting ready." You want a deadline, a framework, and people doing it alongside you.

You've started something, but...

You haven't made your first sale yet

You have a product or service but haven't cracked the first customer. The Sprint gives you the structure, the positioning, and the push to get there.

Capital & growth

When you're ready
to grow, we know
how to help.

The Sprint gets you to first sale. What happens after is up to you — run it on your own revenue, or bring in capital to accelerate.

Tone Ventures has capital to invest in businesses we believe in. And through the framework you'll build, you'll be ready to attract other investors too — with a plan they can actually understand.

Self-funded path
Launch on your own terms
Use the financial model you build in the Sprint to understand exactly how much capital you need to start — and grow from your own revenue from day one.
Investor path
Attract the right capital
We help you build an investment plan in a format investors understand — with the metrics, projections, and business case to back it up. Tone Ventures and our network can be part of that.

We move faster and think better when we're not doing things alone.

I've spent over a decade in Tech, driving Data & AI initiatives inside large organisations — delivering hundreds of millions in business value and building global enterprise solutions. I know what it takes to make things happen at scale: the structure, the methodology, the decisions, and the shortcuts that actually work.

This sprint is my way of making that accessible for small businesses and new founders. I'll bridge the gap between enterprise thinking and your reality — facilitating the process, sharing what's genuinely useful, showing how AI can help you today, and keeping you accountable so you don't get stuck in planning mode.

"You don't need to quit your job. You don't need to hire a team. You need a framework, the right tools, and people doing it alongside you."
FAQ

Common questions.

Where do the sessions take place?
Sessions are held in person in Washington and California, but you're welcome to join online from anywhere. We run hybrid sessions so remote participants get the same experience as those in the room.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded and available to watch. That said, the Sprint is designed around participation — you need to actively work on your business each day to see results. If you miss a session and don't catch up quickly, you risk falling behind the cohort. There are no shortcuts to the outcome.
Can I get a detailed program before signing up?
Yes. Share your email and you'll receive the daily task outline — the structure of what we cover each day. Note that this doesn't include the detailed content, industry best practices, or facilitation frameworks we use in the live sessions, but it gives you a clear picture of the process and what to expect.
Do I need prior business experience?
No. The Sprint is designed for anyone with an idea — whether you're starting from scratch or already have something in progress. What matters is that you're ready to commit the time and actually do the work.
What kind of business can I bring?
Any kind. Product, service, online, local, B2B, B2C — the framework works across business types. You bring the idea, we bring the structure.

Your business won't
build itself.
