So why aren't you being treated like one?</h4>You deliver results. You get strong reviews. But in the meetings that matter, with the executives who matter, you're talked over, passed over, or simply not in the room.This is not about doing more work. It's how you show up.This course teaches you to use AI as a strategic partner who knows your stakeholders, your communication gaps, and your political landscape, and helps you navigate all of it.You'll learn the frameworks that experienced leaders use to command rooms, land ideas, and build the relationships that drive decisions. Then you'll build those frameworks directly into your AI so the next time you prep for a high-stakes meeting, draft an executive update, or map a tricky stakeholder, you have a prepared strategic partner already on your side.No coding. No intimidating connectors or API calls. Simple prompts and playbooks for your AI that transform how you show up.

Get heard. Get credited. Get promoted. With AI as your secret weapon.

Show up differently in every room you walk into

Say more with less

Walk into any high-stakes conversation fully prepped

Build the relationships that actually drive decisions

Become someone executives trust and sponsor

You're a Senior Manager, Director, or Principal IC at a tech company with 4+ years of experience

You do great work but aren't getting the recognition or promotion. You feel talked over in meetings or passed over for key opportunities.

You want AI to help you think and navigate, to be your strategic partners and secret weapon in corporate politics.

This is not a theory session. You will design and prototype real AI-native workflows for investments.

Cohort 2

You arrive with an empty folder. Four hours later you have a screening agent that knows your thesis, a command that drafts cited IC memos in under a minute, and a package your partners can install with one line. Not slides about it. It, on your laptop. Most investors use AI as a faster intern. It summarises. It drafts. Then the tab closes and everything it learned about your last hundred deals evaporates. A system is different: it remembers, it runs without being asked, it reaches into your stack, and it shows its work. That is the gap this workshop closes, in one sitting.<ul><li>AI-first funds screen and evaluate 3–5x more deals</li><li>Associates who structure AI workflows, spend time on judgment, not formatting</li></ul>The Before/After transformation you can expect<ul><li>Before: You spend 20+ hours/week manually triaging emails, parsing data rooms, and drafting memos that miss critical signals</li><li>After : You run one command that extracts data, simulates an IC-style debate, and drafts your first memo while you focus on final judgment</li></ul>

You know presentations matter. They shape decisions, win clients, and move careers forward. But creating them? That's exhausting.You spend hours wrestling with structure, rewriting messaging that doesn't land. By the time you're done, you're not even confident it will work.AI promises to help, but most people end up with generic outputs and robotic messaging. The tool saves time on the wrong things.Here's what's needed: a strategic approach combining AI efficiency with presentation psychology—the clarity, structure, and persuasion that makes people act.This course teaches exactly that. You'll use AI not as a shortcut, but as a thinking partner. You'll learn frameworks like AVP (Action-Value-Proof) and messaging psychology that transform unclear ideas into compelling narratives.You'll build presentations faster—yes. But more importantly, you'll build them better. Clearer structure. Stronger messaging. More impact.By the end, you'll have a repeatable workflow that cuts creation time in half while dramatically improving quality. No more staring at blank slides. No more second-guessing. Just confident, persuasive presentations—every time.

Founding Cohort

AI tools are getting easier to use. The harder professional skill is deciding where they actually belong in your work.In Make AI Worth It, you’ll bring real problems from your own work and practice how to identify what’s worth solving, choose the right approach, and build the smallest useful solution.You won’t spend four weeks touring tools or collecting prompts. You’ll use a repeatable decision framework, real AI and automation tools, and hands-on builds to create 1–2 working solutions you can actually use, while learning when a simpler process, another tool, or no AI at all is the better choice.

Using AI is easy. Knowing where it belongs is the real skill.
