Our Mission
I’m Yusuf Dean — founder of LaunchLean.
I created LaunchLean because I know what it’s like to have bold ideas… and no blueprint. I’ve seen founders get stuck, sidetracked, and shut down — not because their ideas were bad, but because no one helped them test, grow, and scale the right way.
My mission is simple: help 100 early-stage startups reach £1M in funding or revenue in 365 days.
How? Through lean frameworks, startup coaching, and access to advisors who’ve done it before.
Whether you’re starting with GPT Prompts or Canva Designs, I’m here to help you turn that spark into a company.
Stop guessing. Start growing. Launch Lean.
Only 100 founders will join this mission. Will you be one of them?
Frequently asked questions
When does LaunchLean's Mission start?
Applications close 1st September 2025.
