Practical AI and founder workshops, delivered to programs that actually ship.
I run live trainings for accelerators, startup competitions and national programs — focused on getting founders past the AI hype and into workflows that change how they build, market and operate.
Programs I've trained
Not every cohort got every session — each program got what its founders needed.

African Business Heroes
Africa · Pan-African competition
What Design Can Do
Global · Design for impact
Enterprise Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan · National SME program
Every program gets a session designed for its founders.
The topics below are themes I've taught into multiple cohorts — not a fixed catalogue. The AI landscape moves every few months, so each session gets re-scoped with the program team before it runs.
AI literacy & prompting
How current models actually work, where they break, and prompting patterns that survive real founder workloads.
Founder-led marketing
Positioning, narrative and channel choices for founders who have to be the voice of the brand without becoming full-time creators.
Building with AI tools
A working tour of the AI stack a small team can actually ship with — design, code, research, automation — picked and sequenced.
AI for productivity & ops
Replacing busywork with AI-assisted workflows across ops, sales and content — so a 2-person team operates like a 6-person one.
Custom — your founders' real blocker
Most sessions are designed from scratch after a short call with the program team. Topics shift fast; the format and the way I run a room don't.
Three ways to bring this into your program.
60–180 minutes, hands-on with founders in the room. Designed for cohort settings.
A short series across a program — each session builds on the last, with homework between.
Closed sessions for program managers and operators who'll keep using the material after I'm gone.
Running a cohort? Let's design the session your founders actually need.
Tell me about your program — stage of founders, what they're struggling with, how much time you have. I'll come back with a session outline within a few days.
