Builders bootcamp

Build an ai business
in just 4 days

This isn’t for startup tourists. It’s for founders who’ve lived the friction — in ops, hiring, workflows, or tooling — and know AI can fix what’s broken. You’ll join 9 sharp peers and work directly with the Builders team — operators, product thinkers, GTM minds, and technical leads. This isn’t a funnel. It’s a chance to build, fast — and if we click, maybe even more.

Why builders bootcamp

Work side-by-side with people who actually build companies. You’ll step into the same system we use to launch real ventures. For four Saturdays, you’ll work with us directly, building something worth shipping.

・Proven Playbooks: Not theory — these are the exact frameworks we use in our studio.
・Operators, not coaches: You’ll work with people who build full-time, not part-time advisors.
・Founder-quality peers: 9 others selected for insight, not just ambition.
・Zero fluff: If it doesn’t move the idea forward, it’s not on the agenda.

What's inside

Everything you need to validate a bold enterprise idea — fast.
Over four Saturdays, we’ll pressure-test your idea, sharpen your position, and set up your early traction game. You’ll leave with clear decisions, not abstract learnings.

・Live sessions: Each Saturday at Builders HQ, fully in person.
・Real-world breakdowns: From market signals to GTM.
・One-on-one feedback: No groupthink — real dialogue, tailored to you.
・Between-session sprints: Keep momentum with targeted assignments.

Who is it for

Join 9 other hand-picked founders. We designed this for people who don’t need convincing,  just the right environment to act.

・Domain experts: Got deep knowledge in an industry? Let’s disrupt it with AI.
・Ex-founders: Explore and validate your next, bigger idea.
・Future-of-work and AI nerds: Welcome home – tackle hybrid productivity, digital security, AI-driven operations, and more.

What you’ll get out of it

A sharper, clearer business model. And a potential partner. This isn’t an academic exercise. If the match is right, we build with you. If not, you still leave sharper, clearer, and armed with what matters.


・A clearly defined market opportunity in the Future of Work.
・A validated AI-first B2B SaaS solution.
・A crystal clear roadmap towards launch.
・A pitch deck that doesn’t just tell a story – it closes deals.
