The Abandoned Online Course Has Claimed Enough Good Ideas.
You know the one. Forty hours of video, a discount that expired at midnight, dead by week three. That is not a you problem. Nobody is born technical.
You do not need more videos. You need live instruction, a real deadline, and someone beside you when you get stuck.
1 · Apply
Two minutes. Pay right away to secure your seat — fully refundable until class starts.
2 · Build
Six Monday evenings, live, with instructors beside you.
3 · Launch
Your product at a live URL. Guaranteed.

Book a callQuestions People Actually Ask
Do I need any experience?
No. Most of our graduates had never written a line of code before week one.
How much time does it take?
Six Monday evenings, plus a few hours of building between sessions.
What is the format?
A live cohort capped at 15. Instructors work beside you. Nothing is prerecorded.
What if I do not launch?
We keep working with you until your product is live. 100% of graduates have launched.
What does it cost?
$1,500. Pay when you apply to secure your seat — fully refundable until class starts.
What tools and software will I need?
Most tools we use have free tiers sufficient for the coursework. A modern laptop (Mac or Windows) and a reliable internet connection is all you need to get started — setup instructions come with enrollment.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion?
Yes. Students who complete the program and meet all requirements receive a verified FoundersForge AI Academy certificate, downloadable from your student portal.
What is your refund policy?
Full refund for any cancellation made at least 3 days before the cohort start date. After that cutoff, refunds are not available — unless we cancel the course, in which case a full refund is always issued.
Do you offer enterprise or team training?
Yes. We run custom AI training for organizations — tailored syllabi, private cohorts, and integration support. Reach out through the For Teams page.
Where is FoundersForge AI Academy based?
We are rooted in Appalachia and proudly serve students nationwide. All courses are delivered online, and we actively work toward building a stronger innovation ecosystem in our home region.
