About this program
A 30-day program for entrepreneurs and small-business owners. You use AI to validate an idea, understand customers, build your brand, sell, operate and plan — on your real business, one focused day at a time. You also learn where AI creates legal, financial and reputational risk, and how to stay in control.

- Validate an idea with real customer evidence, not just AI opinions
- Write marketing, sales and customer messages faster without losing your voice
- Automate repetitive operations safely
- Use AI for financial planning while knowing when to call a professional
- Avoid AI-related legal, privacy and reputation mistakes
- Leave with a 90-day growth plan and an AI operating playbook
Who it's for
Founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, solo operators and owners of small businesses of any type. No technical background needed.
