Lean startup training in LondonTest the idea before you fund the build.

London
London teams testing a bet before they fund it
Foot Anstey, a London law firm, asked Collective Campus for two short webinars so its lawyers could run a work idea through a rapid test. The method was lean startup. A London team books the same kind of session when it has a live bet and someone who can stop it.
We can run that in person at your London office or a room in the city, or hybrid if a sponsor joins from elsewhere. You bring the idea. You leave with a test that fits the resources you already have.
- Foot Anstey used two Collective Campus webinars so its lawyers could test a work idea with lean startup, instead of jumping straight to a build.
- Your session uses that approach on a bet you bring, in person in London or hybrid.
- For innovation, product and professional teams, plus the sponsor who has to fund or stop the work.
- You leave with a kill, pivot or scale call.
The problem
Big bets. Long roadmaps. No idea if it'll work.
Betting blind
Months of build committed before a single customer has weighed in.
Sunk-cost creep
Nobody wants to kill the project everyone's already spent on.
Feedback too late
You only find out it missed once it's shipped, the most expensive time to learn.
What you'll walk away with
By the end of the sprint, your team will have
- Your riskiest assumptions surfaced and ranked
- An MVP or prototype built to test the biggest one
- Real signal from real customers, not internal opinion
- A clear go / pivot / kill decision, backed by evidence
- An experiment backlog and a Build-Measure-Learn cadence to keep running
What we cover

Find the riskiest
Rank by impact × uncertainty, test the one that could sink you first.

Design the test
The smallest experiment that gives a real answer.

Questions about running this in London
Can Foot Anstey's format run in a London room?
Yes. At your London office or a room in the city, or hybrid when a sponsor joins from elsewhere. Foot Anstey used two webinars. Yours can be in the room, on the bet you bring.
Which London sponsor has to be able to stop the bet?
The person who can kill it, plus the innovation, product or professional team who owns the idea. Bring your own idea. We will not use a case study.
How do we book a lean startup sprint in London?
Use the contact form. Tell us the bet, who must be in the room and whether you need one day or a longer sprint.
Is a London sprint two hours of startup theory?
No. You leave with a test you can run with what you already have, and criteria the room agrees on.
