Live, cohort-based AI training for startup founders and executives — taught by the builders behind 15+ shipped AI products. Not theory. The exact playbooks we use on real client builds.
Two live sessions per week, recordings included. Every week ends with something you've actually made — not just notes.
Week 1
Think in AI
How LLMs actually work (founder-level, no math). Prompting that gets professional output. Where AI genuinely creates value vs. hype.
You make: your personal AI workflow that saves 5+ hrs/week
Week 2
Build Without Code
Agents, automations, and no-code AI tools. Connect models to your data and your existing tools. When RAG matters and when it doesn't.
You make: a working AI automation for your business
Week 3
Scope a Real MVP
The 80/20 wall that kills vibe-coded products. Feature scoping, validation before building, and what an AI MVP should cost in 2026.
You make: a scoped, costed AI MVP spec
Week 4
Ship & Pitch
Working with dev teams without getting burned. Demo day: present your MVP blueprint, get live feedback from builders who've shipped 15+.
You make: your capstone pitch + a 90-day build plan
Why Learn Here
Most AI trainers teach. We teach and ship.
Curriculum from real builds
Every framework we teach was battle-tested on paid client projects — the support agent that raised $500K, the doc-processing pipeline handling 3x volume.
Live cohort, not a video library
20 founders max. Live sessions, real feedback on your project, and a peer group that's building at the same time you are.
A path after the course
When you're ready to build, you already know a studio that ships in 4–8 weeks. Graduates get priority scoping with IdeaToMVP.

AI isn't a trend to wait out — it's the new substrate of software, business, and science. Here's what the pioneers building it are saying.
Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software.
Jensen HuangCEO, NVIDIA
AI is the most profound technology humanity is working on — more profound than fire, electricity, or anything we have done in the past.
Sundar PichaiCEO, Google & Alphabet
AGI is going to be the most important technology in human history, and we have to get it right.
Sam AltmanCEO, OpenAI
The hottest new programming language is English.
Andrej KarpathyCo-founder, OpenAI · ex-Director of AI, Tesla
AI could be one of the most important and beneficial technologies ever invented — it has the potential to solve some of humanity's biggest challenges.
Demis HassabisCEO, Google DeepMind · Nobel Laureate
Deep learning is going to be able to do everything.
Geoffrey HintonTuring & Nobel Laureate · Godfather of AI
Artificial intelligence is the new electricity. It will transform every industry, just as electricity did 100 years ago.
Andrew NgFounder, DeepLearning.AI · Co-founder, Coursera
Every company will become an AI company — not by adding AI features, but by being rebuilt around them.
Satya NadellaCEO, Microsoft
AI will amplify human intelligence the way mechanical machines amplified human strength.
Yann LeCunChief AI Scientist, Meta · Turing Award
Powerful AI could compress a century of scientific progress into a decade.

FAQ
Questions founders ask
I'm not technical. Will I keep up?
Yes — the Founder AI Sprint is designed for mixed cohorts. Non-technical founders build with no-code tools and learn to scope and direct technical work; technical founders go deeper on the stack. Both leave with the same capstone: a validated MVP blueprint.
How much time does it take per week?
Plan for 4–5 hours: two 90-minute live sessions plus 1–2 hours on your own project. Everything is recorded if you miss a session.
What if I already have a product?
Even better. You'll use the sprint to scope your AI feature or automation instead of a from-scratch MVP — weeks 2 and 3 map directly onto adding AI to an existing business.
Is this just a funnel for your dev studio?
Honest answer: the course stands alone, and most graduates will build with their own teams or tools. But yes — if you want a studio to build with you afterward, you'll already know one that ships in 4–8 weeks. No obligation, ever.
How is the executive program different?
The AI Boardroom is decision-focused, not build-focused: opportunity mapping, ROI and cost modeling, vendor evaluation, and governance. It runs privately for one company's leadership team and ends with a board-ready AI roadmap.
What's the refund policy?
Full refund before the second live session, no questions asked. If the first week doesn't convince you, you shouldn't pay for the rest.
