AI that helps students work faster, not think less
There is no button that writes the assignment. Students write what they believe, the assistant suggests improvements alongside their text, and they accept or reject each field themselves — so there is real work to assess at the end of the module.

On our co-founder Guido Picus's work with Coventry University London students
“Guido has supported over a hundred of our students through mentoring and career development activities, and the feedback has been consistently positive. He has a unique ability to challenge and inspire students while providing practical guidance that helps them navigate their next steps with confidence. The impact of his work is evident in the confidence, ambition, and career readiness demonstrated by the students he has worked with.”

From an empty class to student teams producing work you can compare and mark.
1We set the class up
Send us your list. We create the program, a workspace per team, and invite every student and every member of teaching staff.
2Teams work the same path
Name a customer, define the problem that customer has, design a solution for it. Every team follows the same sequence, so their work is comparable.
3They evidence it
Market sizing returns real sources students can cite and check. Interviews are recorded, uploaded and summarized. A confidence check asks whether the evidence actually supports the claim.
4You assess the work
Read access to every team from one login. Open any team and see their progress and every deliverable, with the sources behind their numbers.
Nine deliverables students actually finish
Each one is a guided workflow with an AI assistant that helps students write faster — it does not do the thinking for them. Every step is reviewed before the next one unlocks, so there is real work to assess.

What teaching staff can see
One login, read access to every team in the class.
Every team from one place
Open any team and see a progress bar for each of the eight steps — who is moving and who is stuck, before the deadline rather than after it.
Work you can compare
Every team produces the same deliverables through the same steps, so you are marking like against like instead of nine differently-shaped documents.
Claims with sources
Market sizing comes back with the reports and URLs behind it. A student's TAM is something they can defend, and something you can check.
Questions from entrepreneurship faculty
- What is entrepreneurship program software?
- Software that gives a taught entrepreneurship program one place to run it: setting up student teams, issuing structured assignments, and collecting the deliverables each team produces. GrowthApp focuses on the work itself rather than only recording submissions.
- Does this replace our syllabus?
- No. Your syllabus sets what is taught and when. GrowthApp is the structured workspace students do the work in, and the assignments are yours to write — title, description and deadline, set for whichever teams they apply to.
- Does the AI do the students' work for them?
- No, and this is the point. There is no button that generates a finished assignment. Students write what they know and think, the assistant helps them improve it, and every step is read and reviewed before the next one. They still have to go and interview real people to test their assumptions — the app cannot do that for them. If the AI did the work there would be nothing to assess, which is the opposite of what a taught module needs.
- Can we use it for assessment?
- Every team produces the same nine deliverables through the same guided steps, so the work is comparable across a class. Teaching staff can be added to any team as a read-only reviewer to see what was produced and when.
- What can teaching staff see?
- Your program lists every student team. Open one and you get a progress bar for each of the eight steps plus every deliverable they have produced, readable in place — so the work is comparable across the class. Progress is tracked per team rather than per student, which matches how group coursework is normally assessed. There is no per-member contribution breakdown and no aggregate class score.
- How do students get access?
- You invite them by email from inside the program. They create an account, land in their team's workspace, and see the assignments you have set.
- Does it work for a capstone or only a full module?
- Both. A program can be a semester-long module, a short capstone or a startup school running over a few weeks — the structure is the same, only the assignments and deadlines change.
