Join Startup Picnic Academy’s AI Coach for Business & Innovation – Also Supports Township Entrepreneurship
Startup Picnic Academy is excited to announce the AI Coach — a digital mentor that blends AI, Tiisetso Maloma’s EBC Business Model & Innovation Design Model (IDM), and real-world examples to make starting, building, and innovating in business simpler than ever.
Now, the AI Coach is also designed to support township entrepreneurs and the township economy, helping them turn ideas into action and grow local businesses with practical, tested frameworks.
Limited free classes are available before the official launch! To get access, email us with the subject line “AI Coach” at: aicoach@startuppicnicacademy.co.za
The AI Coach incorporates insights from Tiisetso Maloma’s books: Forget the Business Plan, Innovate Like Elon Musk, Future of Township Economies, The Anxious Entrepreneur, and 90 Days to Create & Launch.
With the AI Coach, you can:
- Turn ideas into action quickly and affordably
- Diagnose and improve existing businesses
- Build standout products and innovations
- Learn from companies like Zara, Pep Paxi, M-Pesa, Tesla, and SpaceX
- Master practical frameworks for entrepreneurship & innovation
To kickstart your journey, there will be 2–3 online sprint classes hosted by Tiisetso Maloma and Startup Picnic Academy & Venture Studio, including feedback sessions to help you apply what you’ve learned.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours teaching these models in schools, universities, corporates, and incubators — now we’re bringing it to township entrepreneurs through a powerful AI tool.
Incubators, schools, and corporates are also welcome to book specialised group sessions through Startup Picnic Academy.
