AI Training for London Founders and Start-Ups
London has the talent, the investors and the coffee. It also has the salaries, the rent and a burn rate that keeps founders awake. AI won't fix the rent. It will stretch the runway.
In short:- The Oxford AI School runs hands-on AI training for London founders, start-ups and business owners, at your office or live online. Sessions cover product, marketing, sales and operations using your real work. A 90-minute team introduction is £1,199 +VAT for up to 8, and a 3.5-hour deep dive is £2,299 +VAT.
Built Around the Work, Not the Features
The test of a good session is simple: can your people do something on Monday that they couldn't do on Friday? Everything is built around the jobs a start-up actually has.
Product
User research summaries, specs, release notes and the feedback spreadsheet nobody has opened since March.
Marketing
Content, campaigns and being recommended by ChatGPT when someone asks who does what you do. See Intro To GEO.
Sales
Prospect research, follow-ups, proposals and investor updates. See Win More Business With AI.
Operations
Admin, reporting and the repeat jobs that quietly eat a founder's week. See Claude Code for automating them.
Hire Later, Not Never
Nobody is suggesting you replace your team with a chatbot. The point is to make the team you have twice as productive before you hire the next person, so that hire happens when revenue says so, not when everyone is drowning.
Most start-ups need fewer tools than they think. One general assistant used properly, plus one or two specialist tools, beats six subscriptions nobody opens.
Just You for Now?
Plenty of founders start alone, then bring the team in once they know what they want them to learn. Harry can run a private session on your own business, or point you to the individual courses.

Founder Questions, Answered
Is there AI training for start-ups in London?
Yes. Sessions for founders and early-stage teams cover product, marketing, sales and operations, using the work you are doing this week. The aim is simple: a small team getting through the output of a much bigger one without hiring ahead of revenue.
How much does AI training cost for a small London business?
From £1,199 +VAT for a 90-minute team introduction for up to 8 people, up to £2,299 +VAT for a 3.5-hour deep dive. That is roughly £150 a head for the introduction. Travel to your office is billed at cost and quoted upfront.
Can founders train on their own?
Yes. If it is just you, Harry can run a private session on your own business. Many founders start alone, then bring the team in once they know what they want them to learn.
Which AI tools should a start-up use?
Usually fewer than you think. Most start-ups get the most from one general assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT, used properly, plus one or two tools for their specific work. The session helps you choose, so you stop paying for six subscriptions nobody opens.
