Try it first. Then the principle.

You start the mission, hit a wall, then learn the principle that explains it. About a third of the time is teaching. The rest is building.

How a lesson works

1Attempt

You start before anyone explains how. The wall arrives fast.

2Principle

Next morning's seminar names the wall and gives you one principle to get past it.

3Reflect

You write a few lines on what changed. Your crew reads them on Friday.

+One metric

Launched, then active users, then paying users. You track one number at a time and report it every morning.

Eight skills AI makes more valuable. Each is practised in a mission and leaves proof.

AI does the production work. These are the parts that still need a person, the mission where you practise each one, and what you have to show for it.

01Taste and judgement
Decides what is worth building, and when to stop, change course or push harder. Then owns the call.A one-page decision memo, backed by numbers
02Structured thinking, directing AI
Breaks a problem into clear steps and briefs AI tools to build it, with no coding background.A live product with real users
03Critical thinking, using AI responsibly
Checks what AI hands back, and knows what not to hand it: private data, claims they can't stand behind.A build log of what you checked and what you caught
04Customer discovery
Interviews potential customers without pitching and finds a problem people actually have.Notes from 15+ customer interviews
05Selling
Sets a price, asks for money, closes the sale and pitches to a room of adults.Three paying customers and a 90-second demo
06Growth
Runs a paid test and works out what each customer cost.A record of S$300 spent and what it brought in
07Earning trust
Gets busy adults to reply, asks for introductions and follows up.Introductions from founders and mentors
08Fast iteration
Takes the no, uses the feedback and ships again within days.A record of every no, and what you changed after it

AI does the code, design, copy and research. We coach what it can't do.

You use the same AI tools professionals use. The Oracle, our AI coach, works beside you at any hour. It asks questions, drafts copy and writes code. Our guides read any conversation it flags, and people handle judgement, motivation and anything sensitive.

What a coach asks every day

  • What is your number today?
  • What exactly did the customer say?
  • What is the smallest test that would answer that?
  • What would you do if you knew it would fail?
  • Who have you not asked yet?
