Koppd is a small UK product that exists for one reason: to make AI genuinely useful for business owners — not impressive to investors. No hype, no jargon, no "don't get left behind" framing.
I'm Michael — a non-technical founder who spent years running businesses before I got obsessed with AI. When I started looking for "AI for business owners" products, everything was either cringe content for creators, or enterprise software pitched at CFOs at Goldman Sachs. Nothing in the middle for the actual business owner.
So I built it. Koppd is the thing I wish someone had handed me three years ago — a plain-language crash course, a growing library of things you can actually use, and a way to hire someone to build what I couldn't build myself.
We do three things, and we try to do them properly. Free content for the curious. A paid course for the serious. A vetted marketplace for when it's time to build. That's it.
The hype sells products. We'd rather sell understanding. If you leave an interaction with us feeling smarter — not more overwhelmed — we've done our job.
No jargon, no "AI-powered paradigm shifts". If we can't explain it to a business owner in a single sentence, we probably don't understand it yet either.
When you hire a builder through Koppd, you hire someone we'd personally hire. No portfolios we haven't read. No bidding wars. No race to the bottom.
We keep the course cohorts small and the builder bench small. Growth for its own sake turns every part of an experience into a worse version of itself. Not our thing.
We're not an agency, not a SaaS company, not a YouTube channel. We're a small UK product that helps owners use AI. When we launch things, we launch them properly — no pretending the marketplace is live when it isn't.
Course attendees, builders, and clients all talk to a human at Koppd. No chatbots pretending to be us. No support tickets lost in a queue. Reply times in hours, not days.
Anyone can write a values page. These are three things we've turned down — and will keep turning down — even when it costs us money. This is the bit to hold us to.
We answer everything. Email a human.
