Agentic Buildcamp
An adaptive entrepreneurship program where builders turn their expertise into revenue.
For mid-career professionals who, after being laid off, growing bored at work, or going on leave, want a business of their own but find it too big to carry alone.
- Monthly cohorts. Start with any cohort and stay for as many as you need.
- About 10-15 hours a week, on your own schedule.

What we give you
We give builders product and business milestones to be accountable for, adapted to where each builder starts and how they progress, using peers, mentors, and agentic workflows.
What To Build (And How)
Work toward product and business milestones you're accountable for, starting from where you are. Kill bad ideas fast and validate before you sink weeks into the wrong thing. Each cohort ends in a short public demo, so there's a date to build toward.
What To Do When You're Stuck
Mentors and your cohort answer when you're stuck, and an AI coach that already knows what you're worried about helps you decide what's next, so you're not guessing alone.
What To Do Once You've Built It
Turn a working build into real distribution, a defensible price, and paying customers. Design market experiments and run them to discover and craft your go-to-market strategy.
Three journeys
- Try an idea: one week to one cohort to see whether you can build it.
- Launch and grow it properly: half a year to a year of cohorts to take it to market and grow its revenue.
- Get ready to try again: three to six months of cohorts to strengthen what you have before your next application.

How Can This Program Help You?(3–5 min)
This assessment gives you a personalized read on how we can help you in this program build something someone can actually rely on. Here's how it works: first, we'll ask where you're starting from, including how settled your idea is. Next, we'll ask what you're building toward and who'd need to depend on it. Finally, we'll hand you a personalized prompt you can take to an AI assistant for an even deeper, tailored read.
