Academy · Choosing a program
Both are live and taught by the same people. They answer different questions, and picking the wrong one wastes four weeks — so here is the honest split, including who each program is wrong for.
Side by side
If you only read one row, read the last one.
| Founder AI Sprint | The AI Boardroom | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Founders and operators who will personally build or direct the building | CEOs, CFOs and leadership teams deciding where AI belongs in the P&L |
| Core question it answers | How do I build this? | Should we build this, buy it, or wait? |
| Format | Public cohort, 8 live sessions over 4 weeks (2/week), recorded | Private program, 4 executive working sessions, live or on-site |
| Group | Up to 20 founders from different companies | 10–30 seats, one company's leadership team |
| Price | $499 founding cohort price (normally $799) | Custom, scoped to team size and delivery |
| You leave with | A validated AI MVP blueprint for your own product | A board-ready one-page AI roadmap for your company |
| Hands on keyboard? | Yes — agents, automations, no-code tooling, RAG fundamentals | No — opportunity mapping, TCO, vendor evaluation, governance |
| Wrong for you if | You need company-wide alignment, or you won't be near the build yourself | You're a solo founder, or you want to leave able to build it yourself |

We reply within one business day with a program brief.
Still deciding
Yes, and a few companies do exactly that in sequence: the leadership team runs The AI Boardroom to decide where AI belongs, then sends the people who will actually build into the Founder AI Sprint. The roadmap from the first becomes the scoping input for the second.
The Sprint is built for mixed cohorts. Non-technical founders build with no-code tooling and learn to scope and direct technical work; technical founders go deeper on the stack — agent orchestration, RAG, and evaluation. Both leave with the same capstone.
Yes. The Sprint curriculum runs as a private cohort for a single company, which is how most of our corporate engagements start. That is scoped like The AI Boardroom rather than sold per seat.
Tell us what you're trying to change in the next two quarters and we'll say which fits — including saying neither, if that's the answer. Most of the time the deciding question is simply whether the people in the room will be building.
