Built here
Every project starts as a problem someone actually has: a clinic, a trucking company, a shop, a school. Builders take it on, ship it, and show it at Builders Night. The ones that work become companies.
Builders Nights and Demo Days
Every week the builders show what they shipped and the room helps. Once a cohort, the best projects are pitched to investors, employers and partners. Both are open to anyone who is curious.
Why we started this
We kept meeting the same person. Smart, hungry, sitting through another online AI course, with nothing to show for it at the end. A certificate, maybe. No product. No customers. No company.
The people who actually learn AI are the ones who use it to build something for someone. So that is the whole program. Learn just enough to start, build every week, find a real problem, and if the thing you make works, we help you turn it into a company and stay with you after you launch.
It is not for everyone. It is for people who want to build. If that is you, we would like to meet you.
