The two paths
Most first-time founders take the long way.
You've got a year, maybe two, before you have to make this work. Here's where it usually goes. And where we go instead.
Bootstrapped
- Find a technical co-founder. Give 30-50% equity to commit.
- Both of you keep day jobs to pay the bills.
- Pay a developer £400-600/day for every change. Wait weeks for each tweak.
- Launch eventually. Or burn out. Or your partner moves on.

You kept investors out. But you gave away a piece of the company and lost two years.

The new way
One Month's Notice
- Day 1: Building. With us in the room and Claude as the dev.
- Days 1-30: We teach you to ship with Claude. You're the developer by day 30.
- Day 30: Live and launched. You own the code, the brand, the company.
- After: Change anything, anytime, alone. No dev to pay.
The year you would have wasted is the year you spend growing instead.

Time
30 days
No equity given. No raise needed.
Funded
- Save £5-15K. Pay a developer to build the MVP.
- Raise £100K from friends, family or angels. 3-4 months of pitching.
- Pay £400-600/day for every change. Wait weeks for each tweak.
- Quit your job. £50K of the raise pays you, £50K pays the developer. Launch late, or run out before.

About
The founders we wish we'd had.
We've both walked out of secure corporate jobs to build companies. And we've made every founder mistake you can think of along the way. One Month's Notice is the shortcut we wish we'd had: two operators in the room with you until your product is live.

Why we're building this
Most first-time founders waste their first year. Six months building the wrong thing, six more chasing investors, and a launch that lands with nothing. We've seen it enough times to know the pattern.
AI-native founders don't need a big team or a big raise. They need the right knowledge, the right tools, and someone who's done it before sitting next to them.
That's what we are. Thirty days, end-to-end, until your product is live.

Everything you need to launch a real business. The full stack, not just an MVP.

The Launch Checklist everything we deliver in 30 days.
The same statement of work we run for every founder we take on. Run it yourself, hire someone else to run it, or use it to decide whether you'd rather we ran it for you.
- Product: auth, billing, the system that lets you push updates without breaking everything.
- Marketing:the channels you'll use, the 90-day reels plan, the customer journey from ad to first payment.
- Business: company registration, brand, website, email, contact details. The stuff people forget until they need it.
