Business Transformation Cohort

Also added in August 2026, this is the sibling of the Founders Jockey Program aimed at businesses that already exist. It runs ninety days, fifty live hours, two sessions every weekend, capped at fifteen participants, for a single published fee. The work moves through three phases — re-think, re-design, re-scale — across eight dimensions including innovation, digital, practical uses of AI, business model, scale and funding readiness. You leave with a Business Transformation Blueprint you present at the end.

What you get

• Fifty hours of live training across a ninety-day cohort
• Eight worked outputs: an opportunity bank, innovation map, digital roadmap, list of practical AI uses, business model direction, experimentation plan, growth roadmap and a consolidated blueprint
• Two one-to-one mentoring sessions
• A pitch day with mentors and investors
• A year of founder community membership
• Milestone badges and a capstone certificate

Who can apply

• SME owners, family businesses and traditional businesses
• Growth entrepreneurs, second-generation leaders and business leaders
• No technology business and no existing use of AI is required
• Lemon is blunt about who should not join: anyone who only wants a certificate, will not question how the business currently works, or will not do assignments between sessions

How selection works: Enrolment, not competition, with places capped at fifteen.

How to apply: Use the apply form on the programme page — founder name, business name, contact number and email — and the team gets in touch. A brochure is offered on the same page.
