Keep up as the bootcamp evolves

Follow each new cohort as it runs. New session recordings arrive as they are recorded, refreshed workbook and materials come with them, and weekly Q&A continues beyond the course’s included 90 days.

Advisors for the business you're building

After the bootcamp, the bottleneck isn't lectures — it's decisions. Pricing an offer, closing a client, picking a niche, fixing a stalled deploy. Accelerator members get unlimited 1:1 sessions with our mentor network to work through their actual business, deal by deal.

A place to build your company from

Outside class hours the tables, Wi-Fi, coffee and garden are yours. A working home base in the Mission, five minutes from 16th St BART — surrounded by other graduates building their own agencies, not a chat thread.

Refreshers when you need them, a studio when you don't

Drop back into any cohort session or workshop — in the room or on Zoom — whenever a topic needs a second pass. And when you're past learning and into selling, use the studio to record your own content, demos and client material.

Before you join

The questions people actually ask

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. It's a monthly subscription — cancel whenever, and you keep access through the end of the period you've already paid for. No contract, no cancellation call.

Should I buy the self-paced course, a cohort seat, or the $50 membership?+

Buy the self-paced course for $150 — one payment, yours forever, and you can start tonight. Choose a live cohort for fixed dates, instructors, and a group; current dates and prices are on the cohorts page. The $50/month membership is what you keep after either path for each new cohort’s recordings, refreshed materials, and ongoing weekly Q&A. It is not how you learn the material for the first time.

Who is the Accelerator for?+

Bootcamp graduates, mostly. Once you've finished the bootcamp you don't need more lectures — you need help building the business: unlimited 1:1 sessions with mentors to work through your offers, clients and deals, plus the coworking space, the studio, and any class as a refresher. If you haven't taken the bootcamp yet, start with the self-paced course or a live cohort — the Accelerator assumes you already know the material.

I'm not in the Bay Area. Is the recordings tier worth it on its own?+

If you haven’t taken the course yet, start with the $150 self-paced course. The recordings membership is fully online and keeps you current afterward: each new cohort’s recordings, refreshed materials, weekly Q&A, and the community. The Accelerator’s space, studio, and coworking benefits are in San Francisco, so it makes the most sense if you can use them.

How does “unlimited” 1:1 mentorship actually work?+

You book sessions with mentors from our network around your goals — no monthly cap. In practice members use it in bursts: heavy while launching an offer or debugging a build, quiet in between. We'll flag it if a booking pattern isn't workable, but there's no meter running.

Do I need an account before I subscribe?+

No. Start checkout as a guest and Stripe collects your email; your access is set up from the payment. If you already have a hub account, sign in first so the membership attaches to it.

Can I upgrade from recordings to the Accelerator later?+

Yes — the Accelerator includes everything in the recordings tier, so it's a straightforward step up. Email hello@aistartacademy.com and we'll move you across.

Pick the tier that matches where you are

Keeping current? Access To All Recordings at $50/mo — new cohort recordings, refreshed materials and ongoing Q&A. Building your own business? AI Automation Agency Accelerator at $500/mo — unlimited mentorship, the space and the studio. Both cancel anytime.
