Launch in a Day: Turning Ideas into Startups at WorkIQ

Launch in a Day

On July 17th, WorkIQ hosted Launch in a Day, a high-impact workshop designed and delivered by Kevin Collins, founder of Launch Loop. The event brought together early-stage founders, creatives, and technologists to build a startup — from scratch — in just one afternoon.

The format was ambitious: in four hours, participants worked collaboratively to develop a full business concept inspired by the real-world organisation HerSport.ie. The goal was to create a usable and meaningful set of assets that could later support the charity’s growth. And they delivered — with working prototypes, brand packages, and go-to-market strategies all completed within the timeframe.

Structured, Fast, and Powered by AI

The session was built around a sequence of AI-powered prompts developed by Kevin, and supported by Manus AI, a leading tool for rapid startup creation. Participants followed a detailed framework, moving through each critical stage of the startup journey, including:

  • Idea validation and positioning
  • Brand development and tone of voice
  • Market research and customer personas
  • Product planning and sprint roadmaps
  • Revenue models and cost projections
  • Go-to-market strategies, including content and ads
  • Website development and SEO blog content
  • Prototype design and testing
  • Financial planning and KPIs
  • Pitch deck creation and scripting

This wasn’t just a demo — it was hands-on and outcomes-focused. You can see a few of the working projects produced on the day here: Prototype 1, Prototype 2, Prototype 3 and Pitch Deck.

A Creative and Collaborative Day at WorkIQ

We were delighted that Kevin and the Launch Loop team chose WorkIQ as the venue for this event. The collaborative energy, creative thinking, and hands-on learning that unfolded in our space are exactly what we aim to foster in the South Dublin innovation community.

Events like this highlight the potential of combining emerging technology with a dynamic, well-equipped environment — and we’re proud that WorkIQ continues to support these kinds of initiatives.

Special thanks to all those who made this event possible: Kevin Collins and Launch Loop for leading the session, Manus AI for providing technical support and access, Superteam Ireland, LumaHue, Qoinnect, and Piush Vaish for sponsorship and collaboration. We look forward to welcoming more events like this that challenge boundaries and encourage experimentation.
