What we do
Three pathways.
One goal: you, moving forward.
We start by getting to know you properly, then point you down the pathway that fits. Most mentees follow one closely and borrow from the others.
Before any pathway
Discovery
comes first
Before we talk about jobs or business plans, we work out where you are right now. Think of it as an honest audit of you: what you are good at, what you are not, and where you really want to go.
A lot of people arrive wanting to be a software developer because of what they have seen online. Often it does not match who they are. Someone who comes alive talking to people will not be happy sat behind a screen all day, so we might point them towards a role like solutions architect instead. Discovery is how we find that out early.
Where you are now
Your experience, your situation and what you have tried so far.
Strengths and gaps
What you are naturally good at, and what you find hard. Both matter.
The direction you want
Where you think you want to go, and whether it fits the person you are.
The right pathway
Only then do we direct you: into a career, or perhaps into starting a business.
Career
Move into a career that fits you. Tech is where we push hardest, because that is where our experience and contacts are strongest.
Your discovery tells us which role suits you, not just which one is popular online. From there we build the skills for that role and get you working the way professionals do.
You will not be left alone on small solo projects. You work in a team, in a professional setup, and gain work experience with companies we are connected to.
- A role matched to your strengths
- Team projects, run like a real workplace
- Work experience with companies we know
- CV and interview preparation
- Introductions to people in the industry
Business
Open a business of your own. We help you set it up properly, then use our network to help it thrive.
Ahmed has set up several businesses himself and has hit most of the problems a new founder runs into. You get the benefit of that, so you do not have to make the same mistakes.
We take you from the idea to a business that is registered, set up and ready to trade, then connect you with people who can help it grow.
- Getting set up, step by step
- Lessons from a founder who has done it
- Avoiding the common early mistakes
- Connections built for you
- A network behind you
Personal growth
Step out of your comfort zone and build the skills that carry you into any room.
These skills are not learnt from a slide. We put you in real situations that feel awkward at first: speaking at events, working in a team, meeting people you do not know.
It is uncomfortable on purpose, and you are never doing it alone. Each time gets easier, and it feeds straight back into your career or your business.
- Public speaking at real events
- Team building with other mentees
- Networking in the room, not online
- Confidence that lasts
