The AI for Founders Difference

  • A no-cost, structured curriculum designed for founders
  • Hands-on training to take ideas from concept → MVP → launch
  • 1:1 mentorship from experienced tech and AI professionals
  • Founder-focused coaching and ongoing support

What's the Catch?

We get it—free founder training in AI? Sounds too good to be true. But for nearly a decade, we’ve been helping people turn ideas into products thanks to support from our funding partners. We offer full scholarships for startup-focused training across Missouri.

Ready to Level Up?

Once you’ve built your MVP, we offer Product to Scale—a program built for founders who believe in their product and are ready to grow.

We’ll start with a short discovery session to understand your vision and what you’ve built. From there, our mentors will help refine your solution and get it ready to scale. There is a cost to the program, but you’ll be saving months of headaches and roadblocks.
