Testimonials

Next up was a whizz through the process of creating your own AI team from the brilliant Cien S. of LaunchLemonade. Wow - I strongly urge you to check it out.

Fiona McKinnon

Sharp, funny, totally herself. She spoke about leaner teams and how AI can help founders move faster without burning people out. Real, practical stuff. And the fact she’s doing, or wants to do stand-up comedy made me laugh. You can see it.

Melina Jacovou

Last night, LaunchLemonade held an event for PMs & PMMs called 'Building & Launching AI Agents'. The hands-on workshop was designed to myth bust, and provide practical solutions for building an AI agent without any coding experience. The hackathon was a great success and expertly led by Cien Solon.
