Thank you to everyone who joined LettsGroup and Brown Rudnick for "LettsTalk Tech" on 13 July. It was a fantastic event for entrepreneurs and investors. The next edition will be in April 2026.
LettsGroup is expanding its advisory board ahead of strategic developments in 2026. If you would like to join our investing advisory board please contact us at [email protected] .
Since early on, we understood that LettsGroup's AI VentureFactory and its core venture building process, Innov@te, deliver a sizable advantage to startups that use it. They build faster, run much leaner. It gives them a huge advantage in the market. With the AI VentureFactory now scaling, its users are demonstrating a new set of metrics for the tech and digital startup sector. Here are some of them:
First 6 private beta startups on the platform are now at or beyond Seed stage with new model economics having lowered cost to Seed by between 80 and 90%
Funding stages collapsing - faster cycles can inspire investors to ‘jump in earlier’.
From FTE to FTB (full time bots) - FTE count as a metric is dead. It’s about how much AI you use.
Team no bigger than 5 through scaling (beyond series A).
From idea to market launch in less than 12 months , less than £200k burn
Elapsed time for first business plan from 6 weeks to 6 minutes.
Time to first website less than 2 days
Draft forecasts in minutes
Equity analyst-grade reports for startups now a reality
Advertising agency grade brand narratives and organic marketing outputs enabled
Advanced product roadmaps in hours not weeks.
Plus much more…
Using LettsGroup's AI VentureFactory founders can now finance their startup to market launch - so professional investors participate later, which is a win-win, delivering greater founder control, with more data and proof points for investors when they are required.
This week the AI VentureFactory is starting to roll out its latest version with a new dashboard and numerous new breakthrough enhancements ahead of scaling further with larger numbers of startups and investors adopting the pioneering AI platform.
The LettsNews product team is building 3 new features that should make it the most innovative newsroom tech on the market by quite a distance.

Now that LettsCore is scaling nicely with thousands of users following its launch 3 months ago, its product team is starting work on more tech infrastructure for enterprises and app vendors including an advanced data analytics dashboard, bulk content uploading with AI support, and enhanced content sharing capabilities with tracking / usage /time bound sharing embedded.
LettsCore is on a solid path to become the new generation AI and Blockchain CMS for content-rich companies seeking to control and micro-monetise individual content assets at-scale better than they can today with traditional, more silo'd CMS platforms. We believe that LettsCore can become a vital new cog in the media landscape.

Jot , the AI-native diary, launched just 2 weeks ago and is adding paying customers at a clip thanks to its creative 'Lola and JotBot' campaign. It is also the fastest startup powered by the VentureFactory to date:
1. Idea to market launch in 5 months - started private beta just 6 weeks before launch
2. Do EVERYTHING with AI - the new style software startup approach?
3. Paying customers arriving through organic and viral marketing alone
4. Adding new product features every month
5. Available for a limited time on a special Black Friday deal - from just £19.99 for 12 months!
We all experience the frustration and fatigue from too many productivity tools - with a calendar, agenda, journal, notebook, address book, task manager and more sitting in isolated silos. Jot makes our lives easier by unifying them in one AI-native digital diary. Just add a diary entry and JotBot (AI) does the rest - creating calendar entries, appointments, tasks and more. The personal organiser you always dreamed of. Available on mobile, tablet and desktop.

As LettsArt powers towards 1,300 galleries, 4,500 art collectors and 6,000 artworks, and with the release of LettsArt's (AI) Assistant - the leading AI no-code platform for the art world can shift gears to its next phase of growth: data-powered, community-enabled and collector-driven with a slew of new features being released next year to support new generation, independent minded artists, gallerists and art collectors.
These include a significant new step into community engagement, advanced social features and inter-gallery comms. Beyond this, LettsArt will launch more premium features for higher tier plans, including auto-distribution to online digital art marketplaces.
VOICES will launch in early 2026 as the new town square for creators, writers and entrepreneurs. It will become the fully integrated social network of choice for VentureFactory core apps and startup customers that want to connect to it. The team is excited about the potential for VOICES as a next generation, Web3, filtered network and safe space for solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, innovators and creators. People with valuable voices.
