AI Entrepreneur Certificate

Build with AI · Market with AI · Operate with AI

Three AI bootcamps designed for future founders. Four Saturdays each. Complete all three to earn the AI Entrepreneur Certificate. Each bootcamp stands alone. Each is $499.

The program is named for what students do. The curriculum is taught on the Claude stack.

Why one stack, not ten

A survey of AI tools produces students who recognize logos. Depth in one stack produces students who ship. We teach Claude because it is the most capable model for the agentic, code-generating, multi-step workflows the curriculum centers on. The techniques transfer. A student who has built real systems with Claude can pick up a competing model in a weekend. The reverse is not true.

Earn your certificate by successfully completing three immersive bootcamps:

• Build with AI – Design and develop AI-driven products and solutions.
• Market with AI – Leverage AI to attract, engage, and convert customers.
• Operate with AI – Streamline operations and scale smarter using intelligent systems.

Whether you complete the full certificate by enrolling in all three (3) bootcamps or enroll in individual bootcamps for career development or personal enrichment, you’ll gain practical, hands-on skills.

These courses may be taken individually for career development or personal enrichment. 

Create smarter. Move faster. Lead the future with AI.

build with AI bootcamp

Students work in pairs to scope, build, and ship a real AI product. The curriculum is taught on the Claude stack.

Cost discipline is part of the course. Students leave with applications that run for under $20 a month.

You'll learn how to: 

• Use Claude Code to design, scaffold, and ship a working application
• Structure multi-agent workflows with subagents and MCP servers
• Apply context engineering techniques that keep long-running agents reliable
• Deploy and operate an AI product at low monthly cost
• Demo the product on the final Saturday

Target Audience:

• Aspiring founders with a serious product idea
• Working professionals planning their next venture
• Students who want a portfolio that beats a transcript
