The AI Edit has been nominated for Education and Training Startup of the Year at the UK Startup Awards 2026.

We've trained more than 1,500 leaders in AI since we launched. That's what this nomination recognises. Not a pitch. Not a promise. Work that's already happened.

Since April, we've added a whole new dimension to The AI Edit, helping B2B leaders use AI to find the customers that need them most. Training, coaching, community, and lead gen consulting, all built around that goal.

We'll keep doing what we're doing.


Twenty years ago, Heather Baker started her journey in B2B lead generation.

Along the way she's trained more than 1,400 leaders in AI and won 14 awards from 26 nominations. Heather works with clients through the B2B Lead Accelerator, a small-cohort programme, or through bespoke lead generation consulting.
