Build Real Things.
With People Who've Done It.
Not pre-recorded courses you'll never finish. Live programs where you leave with something real — a working MVP, a portfolio piece, or the ability to lead AI initiatives.
0 → 1 Founder Sprint
You bring the idea. We help you figure out exactly what to build — then build it together. You're not a client, you're a co-builder.
This is not a course. It's a 4-week working engagement where a dedicated Empathy AI consultant sits alongside you — helping you scope, design, build, and launch a working AI proof-of-concept. The training happens naturally as we build. By week 4, you have a POC you can demo, pitch, or ship.
What We Do Together
- Scope your idea — what to build, what to skip, what AI can actually do
- Design the agent architecture for your specific use case
- Build the POC week by week — you see every decision
- Train you on AI agents as we go — no theory without context
- Deliver a working POC + documentation you own fully
Who This Is For
- Non-technical founders with an AI product idea
- Founders who've validated a problem but don't know how to build
- Anyone who wants a POC to show investors or early customers
- Teams evaluating AI before committing to a full build
Founder AI Jumpstart — $197
2 live sessions with one of our consultants. Session 1: we map your idea and tell you exactly what's possible. Session 2: we build one small thing together — you leave with something that runs. Your $197 is credited in full if you continue to the Sprint.
Limited to 4 founders per month
Stop Nodding in AI Meetings.
Start Leading Them.
8 live sessions over 4 weeks. Hands-on from day one — not slides, not theory. You leave able to evaluate AI vendors, brief engineering teams, and build basic agents yourself.
4 Modules
AI & Agents — What Actually Matters
Cut through the noise. Understand what LLMs, agents, and agentic systems can and cannot do. No jargon.
Evaluating AI for Your Business
Build vs buy. Vendor red flags. How to read an AI proposal. What questions your team should be asking.
Hands-On: Build an Agent
You build a simple working agent. No shortcuts. You'll understand it well enough to explain it to your board.
Leading AI Projects & Teams
Hiring, KPIs, roadmaps. How to run an AI initiative without being dependent on your engineers to translate everything.
A Portfolio That
Tells Your Story
Not generic projects copied from a tutorial. Each module is a live, hands-on build — custom to you. You walk away with an agent project that has a unique story, a real codebase, and something worth talking about in a room that matters.
What a Module Looks Like
You bring your idea or area of interest. Together we scope a specific agent project — something original, something real. We set up the stack and write the first version live.
We finish the build, refine the agent, and package the project — README, codebase, and a narrative you can use in a portfolio, LinkedIn post, or interview.
- Working agent codebase on GitHub
- Project narrative — your story to tell
- Module certificate
- Foundation to build the next module on
Every project is different. Your agent, your idea, your story. No two portfolio pieces from our program look the same.
