New AI-powered Tool to Benefit Thousands of Entrepreneurs
In a groundbreaking partnership, the Centre for Entrepreneurs (CfE) and DeepFlow have joined forces to offer a world-first Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered business mentor and planning tool for aspiring entrepreneurs.
DeepFlow, a VC-backed software company, has been developing their innovative software to assist consultancies, venture capital providers, and professional service firms in harnessing the full potential of AI tools. Together, the two organizations have tailored a version of DeepFlow’s core product specifically for new businesses, called “Navigator,” to help overcome the unique challenges faced by startups.
“Many people have an idea for a business, but they often don’t know where to start or lack access to good business advice,” explains Timothy Barnes, CEO of CfE, a leading charity supporting new entrepreneurs in the UK. “Navigator will offer help and advice online, drawing up a customized plan for each user based on their business idea and utilizing AI agents to provide support in areas such as marketing, research, and copywriting.”
This new tool will be offered for free to anyone in the UK interested in starting a business, and will be available through partnerships with leading startup accelerators, incubators, and business support organizations.
Jonathan Gilmore, CEO of DeepFlow, expresses excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are incredibly excited to be empowering thousands of businesses across the UK through our partnership with CfE. Our product has been developed with some of the leading minds in the field, but it normally takes longer to bring new cutting-edge technologies to smaller companies. This partnership means we can offer useful and accessible help to entrepreneurs and startups long before they would normally be able to afford it.”
Since December 2024, CfE has been presenting the concept and early versions of Navigator to experts in startup support, gathering feedback to aid in product development and planning. The latest version of Navigator will be presented at the Global Entrepreneurs Congress 2025, a meeting of 5,000 entrepreneurship ecosystem builders taking place in Indianapolis, USA, in June.
“We are building on our legacy as the provider of one of the UK’s first startup accelerator-style training programs by bringing our expertise to anyone looking to start a business in the UK through our Navigator platform,” says Barnes.
DeepFlow, an exciting new software developer, is building the world’s first “Human x AI orchestration layer” to pass slices of work between people in teams, and leading AI models and agents, such as Open AI’s o1, Anthropic’s Claude, and 11x agents.
