Each evidence file shows the outcome and how it was measured.
The outcomeA prioritised, stress-tested use‑case set, agreed in one day.
The challenge
Founders and teams from across the fund’s portfolio met for a hands-on AI workshop. They were already experimenting, so introductory training would have wasted the day. The companies ranged from early startups to scale-ups, with no shared view of what good looks like.
What we did
A one-day, in-person workshop. A common baseline first through shared language and worked examples, then practical sessions on context and repeatable patterns, then facilitated use-case discovery using value-versus-complexity thinking to separate quick wins from longer-term work.
How we know it worked
- A set of prioritised, stress-tested use cases grounded in real business needs
- Shared understanding of effective AI adoption beyond tools alone
- Peer-to-peer exchange of concrete examples and patterns across the portfolio
“We’ve had some amazing feedback and I’m 100% sure that you achieved the goals that we were hoping for when we set out to plan the day. I’ll be more than happy to recommend you to anyone looking to get up the AI adoption and value curve.”
What changes after a session.
We ask people to fill in a welcome form before we work with them and an exit form afterwards. Each dot is 1% of the people who answered.
Source: Self-reported by participants on our welcome and exit forms, 504 and 120 responses, January 2025 to October 2026. The exit form comes a median of 15 days after the welcome form, and the two groups only partly overlap, so this shows the change straight after working with us, not lasting adoption.
How people rate a session.
4.4 / 5Rated 4.4 out of 5 by participantsAverage of 115 star ratings, 1 to 5. 106 gave 4 or 5 stars

Source: Ratings given by participants on our exit form after a session: 115 star ratings and 114 ‘would you recommend us?’ answers, March 2025 to October 2026. These are the same 120 exit forms as the figures above, less one from our own staff; of the other 119, four skipped the star rating and five skipped the recommend question. This shows how people felt straight after a session, not whether they changed how they work.

In their words.
What people we’ve worked with wrote when we asked them for a testimonial we could show.
“I would highly recommend working with Mike on scoping and designing your company’s AI strategy. […] The first deployment reduced the time taken for a standard BAU process by 80%.”
“The go-to for your introduction to Generative AI. Mike also has brilliant use cases which bring the whole concept to life and how you might start using it.”
“Mike […] took the time to bring me up to speed, and then understand my job role; he shared real-world examples of how automating tedious tasks and improving insights from data could revolutionise my working day.”
“Everybody’s talking about AI […] but no one actually knows what you can do with it other than summarize documents or ask it for new jokes. What we did with Mike and the AI Accelerator course was to understand what the power actually is within AI, how it works.”
Source: Testimonials left on our public testimonial page between September 2023 and July 2024, given in answer to our request for one to show publicly. Quoted as written: […] marks a cut, and the last is transcribed from a video.
