Sixteen local digital entrepreneurs have taken part in a five-day Digital Jersey bootcamp designed to help turn early-stage business ideas into working products.


The bootcamp, held from 14 to 18 September and delivered by Spark AI Agency, focused on using artificial intelligence to develop, test and refine new business concepts.


Participants used AI tools to validate their ideas, build prototypes and test their assumptions before putting their products in front of real users.


The feedback from those users gave the founders an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and develop clearer plans for taking their ventures forward.


The businesses and ideas represented at the bootcamp included:


  • Patricia Pritchard – Truly Cared: Improving coordination between families and carers.

  • Regina Dundelova: A marketplace helping people discover and book underused spaces across Jersey.

  • David Hully: An AI-powered board intelligence platform providing forensic analysis and business insights.

  • Peter Colback: A platform helping landlords manage compliance, maintenance and property administration.

  • Manuel Saenz: An AI governance and readiness service helping trust companies begin their transformation journey.

  • Marc Thomas – SiteControlPM: Using AI to turn construction project data into client-ready reports.

  • Kelly Stafford: A digital marketplace for discovering and purchasing vouchers from local businesses.

  • Gordon Graham: An AI-assisted automation support platform for financial advisers.

  • Mark McNally: A private AI knowledge platform helping regulated firms securely access trusted information.

  • Bridget Jones: A wearable safety device and companion app designed to deter threats and support personal security.

  • Nathaniel Winston-Jones: Privacy-focused software enabling organisations to use AI without exposing sensitive data.

  • Maria Madalina: A digital platform supporting adults diagnosed with, or awaiting assessment for, ADHD.

  • Leanne Le Signe – PropLee: Helping landlords manage property compliance and investments.


Digital Jersey CEO Tony Moretta said the bootcamp demonstrated the strength of Jersey's entrepreneurial community and the opportunities being created by AI.

“The energy throughout the week was incredible, and it was inspiring to see ideas rapidly evolve into viable businesses,” he said.

He added that Digital Jersey wished all of the participants success as they move on to the next stage of developing their businesses.
