This course is self-paced. Start anytime and learn at your own pace, with access to an instructor for questions.

This self-paced course moves you from your very first Claude conversation to a fully built AI workflow designed specifically for entrepreneurs and startup founders. You'll pick up the skills to write effective prompts, keep ongoing work organized with Projects, create reusable templates with Artifacts, and tie Claude into your workplace tools, all through startup-specific examples, exercises, and real business documents. When you cross the finish line, you'll have a personalized Claude system shaped around your business and the operational priorities sitting at the top of your list.

Running an early-stage company means owning every role yourself: strategist, marketer, salesperson, operations manager, finance lead, and customer support. There's nobody to hand off the research, writing, and analysis to, so those tasks either consume your nights or slip through the cracks entirely. Claude changes that reality. Over the course of your training, you'll put AI to work across every function your startup depends on, including market research and competitive analysis, business plan and pitch deck development, customer outreach and sales communications, marketing copy and content creation, financial projections and investor updates, and the operational documentation that holds a scaling business together. The capstone brings everything full circle with a complete investor-ready or launch-ready business package produced through your full Claude system, built around your actual business, not a stand-in for one.
