Course overview

🚨 Why Most Candidates Fail to Break Into AI PM Roles

AI is reshaping tech — fast:

· AI PMs earn 30% more than traditional PMs

· 42% of U.S. VC funding went to AI startups last year

· The industry is growing at 37% year over year


But here’s the problem:

Less than 0.1% of candidates actually land AI product manager roles.


Why?

Because most candidates only take theory-based courses. They can talk about AI — but they’ve never actually built it.


After speaking with hiring managers at Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon, one message is clear:

“If you haven’t led a team to ship a real-world AI product, you’re not ready.”



💡 The Gap Is Experience. This Bootcamp Closes It.


Imagine if you could...

✅ Use your launched AI product to stand out in the hiring process at top companies like Google, OpenAI, Amazon, and unicorn startup


✅ Build a real AI product with a team of developers, designers, and data scientists — not just another no-code demo or capstone project


✅ Launch your product to real users from day one — with a go-to-market strategy that drives traction across our 100,000+ tech and PM community


✅ Build a portfolio that gets you hired or funded, not ignored


✅ Leverage our 1,500+ PMA alumni network to access ongoing job referrals and insider opportunities across the tech industry.


✅ Apply to Y Combinator with confidence — just like some of our students are doing right now



This Isn’t Just Another AI PM Course. It’s a Proven Launchpad.

There’s no shortage of AI PM courses out there — but most leave you on your own to figure out how to apply what you learned. They stop at theory and expect you to build a portfolio from scratch without any support or team.


That’s not how real products — or real careers — are built.


We’ve been running this bootcamp long before we joined Maven. In fact, Product Manager Accelerator (our parent company) has already graduated 4 successful cohorts, launching 30 real-world AI products last year.



Here is what our students said about us:

❝ Dear Dr. Nancy, thank you for believing in TravlMate and inspiring us through the highs and lows—your support helped us reach 3rd place, and we’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished.❞

-Yuriy


❝ Thank you, Dr. Nancy! This journey pushed me beyond my limits, and I’m excited to keep building while job hunting—grateful for your belief in me and looking forward to exploring ways to partner with the program.❞

-Samita


❝ Hi Dr. Nancy! Thank you for voting our Storytime team #1—it means so much! I’m grateful for the chance to work on both products and for the confidence boost after my SAHM journey.❞

-Ankita


There are two phases in this Applied AI PM Bootcamp:

💡AI PM BOOTCAMP - PHASE 1: Build your AI MVP with AI designers and product managers. - No Engineering Required

In the first 4 weeks of our AI PM Bootcamp, you'll dive into AI Product Management 101 and master the fundamentals of building AI products. Learn how to develop a clear MVP, design mockups with a team of product managers and AI designers that bring your vision to life, and understand core AI concepts—no technical background required. This is where your AI PM journey begins—with the foundation you need before you build with AI engineers.


💡AI PM BOOTCAMP - PHASE 2: Build and launch your real AI product with a team of AI engineers, data scientists, and designers

Phase 1 is just the beginning of the full 11-week AI PM Bootcamp. In Phase 2, you'll be matched with a team of developers and data scientists to actually build and launch your AI product. We invest in the most promising teams and help promote their products through our network—and even connect them with top incubators like Y Combinator.

You can take Phase 1 as a standalone course, or upgrade to the full 11-week program anytime. Your AI product journey starts here.


What Makes This Bootcamp Different

🚫 Not a theory-only course.

✅ Not a solo capstone project.

✅ Not a passive "watch and forget" experience.


Here’s what sets us apart:

🎯 Design your first AI product like a real PM — no coding required.

You’ll work with designers and fellow PMs to define AI use cases, validate your product ideas, and build a clickable MVP mock using our proven AI Hypothesis Framework.


🎯 Collaborate with a cross-functional team — without the engineering overwhelm.

This is your chance to build like a real AI PM by leading a team of product managers and UX/UI designers. You’ll scope features, write PRDs, and design an AI solution just like you would in a real product org — all before bringing in developers in Phase 2.


🎯 Validate your AI idea fast — before investing time or money into development.

We’ll help you test your concept with users, refine your value prop, and gather real-world feedback — using tools like Figma, Typeform, and Loom to simulate functionality.


🎯 Grow your confidence in AI product thinking.

You’ll learn how to identify AI-solvable problems, structure data requirements, and evaluate model feasibility — even if you’ve never worked with AI before.


🎯 Opportunity to join AI PM Bootcamp Phase 2 and launch your real-life AI product.

Graduates of Phase 1 will get priority access to Phase 2 — where you’ll partner with AI engineers and data scientists to build and ship your product. You’ll lead development, launch to real users, and present at Demo Day.


🎯 Launch your AI career — or your AI startup.

Whether your goal is to land a PM job or become an AI founder, Phase 2 sets the stage. Top-performing teams may be selected for seed funding from us — and we support applications to Y Combinator and other accelerators.

We’ll help you go live with your product to our 100,000+ audience of tech professionals and PMs (on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, FB, X, TikTok) — and get real feedback and traction, not just mock demos.

❝ The AI PM Bootcamp taught me how to confidently tackle any case using Nancy’s frameworks—thanks to that, I landed offers from both Amazon and Meta. Thank you, Nancy!❞

See What Our Students Have to Say...

        I had a long journey after being laid off six months ago. Layoffs are tough—there’s no feedback, and your life changes instantly. To move forward, I joined Dr. Nancy Li's Product Manager Accelerator program, which was a game-changer. It gave me hands-on experience, real problem-solving skills, and projects I could showcase in interviews.

AI Product Manager @ CallMiner
        During the AI PM Bootcamp, I learned how to tell a compelling story, and was able to use the framework that Nancy taught to deal with any type of case questions, including product stance and product execution. Eventually I passed into this and got two offers from both Amazon and Meta. Thanks Nancy! I could not achieve this without your help!

AI/ML Product Manager @ Meta
        I came from a consulting background with no direct experience in product management. Everything changed when I joined the AI PM Bootcamp—I transformed from a complete beginner to a co-founder and product manager! The program equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in PM interviews and land opportunities at top-tier companies

        AI seemed overwhelming at first, but Dr. Nancy Li’s AI Product Manager Bootcamp made it accessible. In two months, my team built an AI-powered home renovation product using multimodal models and saw real user engagement. This bootcamp proved any product manager can learn AI, and I’m grateful to Dr. Nancy Li for opening new opportunities.

I am Dr. Nancy Li, an award-winning AI Director of Product, LinkedIn TopVoice, and YouTuber with 100K+ tech followers on all social channels, featured on Forbes. 


I am a believer in infinite opportunities and the founder of the Product Manager Accelerator (PMA). I created AI PM Bootcamp to help people become the next AI Product Leaders and impact millions of people’s lives.


Rewind nearly a decade back, and I moved to the US with $800 in my pocket with all the motivation in the world, seeking long-term success and fulfillment. I became the youngest engineering PhD. from Boston University and a Director of Product in just FOUR years. I was frequently the youngest & the only woman in executive meetings, and always had the desire to build my own empire and manage my own team.


I had the ideas, vision, and passion, but I didn’t have the tools. Today, I stand before you as one of the leaders of innovation in the world of AI products, and the best part? I can’t write a line of code.


I led a team of 20 people to launch an AI Smart Cities product using machine vision to reduce car crashes which received Mayor's Best Practice Award in 2016 (away before AI was hot :) The product led to a $200 Million Public Private Parternship deal and was invited to present at the NVIDIA GCP Conference.


How did I get here? By studying the industry through a macro lens and developing a robust set of tools that allowed me to streamline the AI product-creation process and bring my ideas to life.


It sounds simple enough, but it took me years to develop a system that I can pass on to my 1,500+ students and a network of insider connections that enables me to reveal these strategies to you.


Here are some popular video training and blog posts loved by my 100,000+ tech followers.



She is a proud creator of two Maven courses:


In my personal time, I run PMA Kids, a nonprofit that provides free AI product management education to teenagers from underserved communities. I’m also a busy mom of two little ones.
