Hey there,

By now you’ve seen the big picture:

• Monday: Why The AI Founder Accelerator exists (build high-quality software, grow a real business, and shape the future of AI).
• Tuesday: What ➡ 5 Problems You’ll Face on your founder’s journey through the “AI Coder’s Canyon” (and what 149 IWAI readers told us about where they get stuck).
• Wednesday: How ➡ The AI-CTO Method™ helps you ‘fly through the canyon’ (CRAFT your prototype, TEST product & marketing growth, OWN systems that scale)

The point of it all is to grow a real software business you’re proud to own. One that allows you to create more of the life you want for yourself and others.

If that’s a worthy goal and our roadmap looks like the right fit for you, then the next natural question becomes:

I’ll cover your 3 options for you to decide on the right fit for your situation.

That said, every level includes the core AI Founder training (for you to build quality software and turn it into a real business) – that’s what the The AI-CTO Method™ is:

1. CRAFT – validate your idea and build with CTO judgment
2. TEST – ship production-quality software and get real users
3. OWN – turn your product into a sustainable business you’re proud to own

The difference between levels though is how closely you want us involved while you do it.

Here’s what to expect:

–

1 | Training

“Give me the strategy, instructions & tools. I’ll build.”

If you’re self-directed and want the full method, curriculum, and toolkits you can work through on your own schedule – this is likely your starting point.

What you get (high level):

• Full access to the AI-CTO Method™ roadmap – 3 stages, 9 core steps (plus the optional Module 0 if you don’t have your idea yet), clear milestones at each step
• The first half of the program, recorded and ready – instant access the day you join
• Live trainings for the second half – Wednesdays at 1:00 PM Eastern, about 90 minutes with Q&A, every session recorded and added to your private library within 24 hours (lifetime access)
• Module toolkits & templates – prompts, checklists, frameworks, worked examples, and the two MIT-licensed starter kits built for AIFO students
• A private cohort channel inside the 2,000+ member IWAI Slack community

Choose your own adventure → you can move fast, slow, or somewhere in between – the curriculum is designed to fit around a real founder’s life, not compete with it.

Seriously, all work styles are welcome – weekend warriors, hackathon-style
