The curriculum

Eight modules, idea to venture

The arc follows a founder's path: opportunity, validation, building, growth, running lean, fundraising, and team, then a defensible, responsible venture. Built by an entrepreneurship-education pioneer who has run accelerators.

Eight modules in the same interactive online style as the rest of the platform.

  • Founders and aspiring founders building an AI-native venture.
