Do you want to know how to build a SaaS, mobile app or web application?

a clear pathway to starting your TECH business from day 1

Purposeful Products helps the founders of early stage tech startups to translate their ideas into web and mobile applications through our Amazon bestselling books, professional tech mentoring, and practical workshops and programmes.

We work with software entrepreneurs all over the world who are at basic idea stage, right through to startups and small businesses owners in their first 12-18 months of trading, and our books have been read by tech startup founders around the world.
Take a look at the reviews we've received from our customers, and readers worldwide.

We'll help you get from idea, to planning, to prototyping, to product launch, through to marketing, and scaling whilst avoiding the "pitfalls and perils" of tech, so you can create software from scratch more easily. Before specialising in working with startups, we spent over a decade in the world of "corporate tech", leading, and working in teams delivering multi-million pound web, and mobile projects for household-name businesses, so you can be confident that we know our trade!

We understand the common misadventures, mistakes and issues that can affect your progress as you translate your idea into professional software, and we now work exclusively with non-technical entrepreneurs like you to share our knowledge, skills and insights!

We simplify the process of starting a tech business.

WHO DO WE WORK WITH?

In addition to our work with entrepreneurs around the world who are starting tech businesses, we work with universities and academia, and a number of accelerators, and enterprise organisations as a speaker, mentor, adviser, and provider of specialist workshops that support tech entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial activity, and innovation.

If you are an incubator, accelerator, university, or provider of support services to entrepreneurs, please scroll down to the Are you a tech startup incubator or accelerator? section below.

You can find our books and audiobooks at Amazon, on iTunes and at Barnes & Noble.

Our community

We run several communities for entrepreneurs, now with over 1000 members in total, so you can connect with us on Meetup too!

Here are some photos from a few events. We get together about every 3 weeks. Come along and meet other entrepreneurs in tech, and share knowledge and tips. When you come to our Meetup events you may also come across investors, and developers!

If you're in North America, you can join our new US meetup group for entrepreneurs building apps from scratch.

OUR SERVICES

Our services include books, and practical workshops for tech founders, our Tech Startup Academy Programme™, and consulting and mentoring services, where you'll receive guidance and support, and we'll help you get work completed quickly, and professionally.

Our specialist workshops are designed to accelerate your progress and help you overcome the common challenges that newcomers to the tech industry face, so you can increase your chances of success, and AVOID learning through trial-and-error, which is not only inefficient, but often very frustrating!

Working out how to get started, what to do, and how to do it can be confusing, complicated and time-consuming. We'll show you how to get started with building your software application AND your business.

If you prefer to receive support on a 121 basis, our mentoring pa ckages mean that you're only ever a voice, or video call away from answers and professional guidance and support when you're facing challenges, or feeling stuck.

Anthon, UK

"Kay has been an incredible mentor to both myself and my tech Co-Founder. She helped us to refine our product both from a business and a tech stand-point. She listened to our ideas, answered our questions and pushed us to the steps forward. Mentorite truly benefited from Kay's support! I recommend her to everyone."
Giulio Capodimonti, Co-Founder & CEO Mentorite LTD

"I've moved from possible idea... to finding my market.. to finding my specific 'need' to fill - to collaborating with my market and gaining invaluable feedback as well as research. I'm currently in the 'Prototyping' phase of my project and it's moving quickly. I feel confident in the results gained... and the future. Can't say enough."
Aaron, USA

"I was lucky enough to meet Kay while Pionr was part of the NatWest Fintech Accelerator, and she has been hugely generous with her expertise and time, offering support and insight on several issues around management of remote software teams, testing procedures and web app monitoring tools, as well as generally providing an exceptionally positive outlook and a patient sounding board for thoughts and ideas, which is always a huge boon in the pressurised world of early-stage businesses! Since we completed our time at the accelerator Kay has continued to provide support, and we are looking forward to maintaining an ongoing connection."
