Fall 2026 Founding Cohort

Engineers and engineering leaders who build, deploy, and scale software systems.

Startup founders building new businesses, from MVP to scale.

Applying AI tools and techniques to professional workflows — assign alongside more specific AI topics.

Building autonomous AI agent systems that take actions, use tools, and orchestrate multi-step workflows.

Building prototypes and MVPs to test ideas quickly before committing to full development.

Building technical literacy — understanding APIs, databases, system architecture, and engineering tradeoffs.

Building retrieval-augmented generation and search systems — vector databases, embeddings, ranking, and retrieval pipelines.

You go from using AI to building it: one real app, shipped live to production, and the ability to defend every decision behind it.
