ATLANTA – Fox + Spindle, an Atlanta-based boutique consultancy known for its creative approach to AI transformation, today announced the launch of Start Smarter, an eight-week cohort program that teaches early-stage entrepreneurs how to build with AI from day one.

Developed by co-founders Luka Anić and Jenny Nelson, Start Smarter delivers the same blueprint they used to launch Fox + Spindle—practical AI systems, lean automation, and clear positioning that helped them land paying clients within weeks of opening their doors.

Participants receive structured weekly guidance on AI integration, messaging, client readiness, operational automation, and scalable growth. Each session includes live application, tailored frameworks, and exercises designed to move businesses from idea to implementation faster than traditional launch models.

“Entrepreneurs are expected to move quickly, but most are launching with outdated playbooks,” said Anić. “AI changes how fast you can move and what’s possible when you do. The founders who win will be the ones who design for speed early—smarter systems, smarter execution, smarter use of technology from the start.”

The inaugural Start Smarter cohort begins in January 2026, with a second cohort scheduled for March. Program highlights include:

AI Foundations for Non-Engineers – how to think and build with AI, no code required
Launch Systems at Startup Pace – low-overhead automation that scales with growth
Messaging and Market Positioning – clarity that cuts through noise
Lead Capture and Nurture Automations – the earliest version of a repeatable revenue engine
AI for Client Delivery – using smart tools to increase value while protecting margins

Each participant also receives access to Fox + Spindle’s proprietary tools, including their interactive AI Readiness Assessment and customizable messaging templates.

“This isn’t a theory program,” said Nelson. “Founders leave with completed assets—launch automations, lead systems, positioning copy, and a basic AI stack that actually works in the wild.”

Enrollment is limited to ensure hands-on support. Interested entrepreneurs can apply at www.foxandspindle.com/startsmarter.
