Course overview
Validate, build, and launch your six-figure AI product—without quitting your job
Stop Watching Others Build Your Dream While You're Stuck in Meetings.
This is for you if you're tired of:
- Scrolling LinkedIn seeing "solopreneurs" announce six-figure AI launches
- Being trapped in toxic work culture and meaningless meetings
- Having great AI ideas but zero clue how to build them
- Watching the window close while others cash in on the AI gold rush
...and if you want:
- An escape plan from the 9-5 grind
- To finally prove you can build AND monetize a real product
- Your first AI product revenue by Thanksgiving
- A clear path to $100K without needing to code
Here's how it will work:
Week 1-4: Stop Guessing
Validate your idea with investor-grade filters. Know it's worth building before you build it.
NOTE: Weeks 1-4 are avaliable as a standalone program, "Escape Velocity: Your 100K Idea Validation Sprint"
Week 5-10: Build Without Code
Ship your AI product using cutting-edge tools. We'll show you the best ways to drive demand and market WHILE you're building - not afterwards.
*No technical background required.*
Week 9-12: Launch & Earn
Go live, get customers, generate revenue. Real money from real users - and know how you'll support and grow your business long-term.
What You Get
✅ A live, profitable AI product
✅ Proven systems that eliminate guesswork
✅ Your escape plan from corporate chaos
✅ Community of ambitious builders like you
The Cost of Waiting
Every day you delay = another day someone else takes your market share.
Question: Can you afford another year watching others build the life you want?

Yuying Chen-Wynn
Yuying Chen-Wynn
Yuying Chen-Wynn is the former Head of AI at PEAK6, a private equity powerhouse where she led GenAI strategy across the board: buy, build, invest, and risk-manage. From evaluating AI startups for acquisition to scaling AI capabilities across a multi-billion-dollar portfolio, she knows what makes an AI idea fundable—and what gets it shut down in the first five minutes.
Before that, she was Chief Product Officer at Barnes & Noble Education and has spent over 20 years building products—13 of them deep in AI across Big Tech, FinTech, and EdTech. She’s built AI that sells, AI that saves money, and AI that passed more executive reviews than she’d care to count.
Yuying got her start in computer vision back when AI was barely pronounceable—and yes, she really did end up at MIT by accident, thinking she was just applying to schools in Boston.
Today, she co-hosts the no-BS podcast “AI After Hours” with Polly Allen, where they call out hype, hallucinations, and high-risk optimism. Her popular Substack cuts through the noise for product leaders who don’t have time to chase shiny objects.
With Yuying in this sprint, you’re getting investor-grade filters, real product roadmaps, and the blunt honesty you need to figure out: is this thing worth building—or funding?
Polly Allen
Polly Allen
Polly Allen is a former Principal PM at Amazon Alexa, where she led the launch of the first generative AI answers on Alexa in 2020. With over two decades of experience across software engineering, machine learning, and product leadership, Polly knows exactly how to turn cutting-edge AI into real-world products that ship—and scale.
But she’s not just a corporate success story. Polly is also the founder of AI Career Boost, a multi–six-figure AI training company helping professionals leap into AI leadership without needing a PhD or a dev team. Her students have launched AI side hustles, landed dream jobs, and even raised funding—thanks to her unique ability to break down complex AI concepts into clear, strategic action.
Polly built her own profitable AI business from scratch—and now she teaches others how to do the same. Whether you’re dreaming of startup freedom or a fundable idea, she’s your shortcut to skipping the fluff and finding what works.
