THE MISSION IS LIVE · WEEK 8 OF 8
YOU'RE FURTHER THAN YOU WERE LAST WEEK.
AI Launch Pad is an 8-week accelerator where 50 builders turn ideas into real AI projects. You're watching the cohort mid-mission follow their climb to Demo Day, week by week.
Weekend sessions
A little extra fuel for the build.
Some weeks you'll want a closer look at a specific topic - and that's what these sessions are for. Running alongside your build, each one digs into something practical you can take straight back to your project. These sessions are part of the program, so plan to attend each one as it comes up. If a clash is unavoidable, catch up on your own time before the next session - but treat them as a core part of keeping pace with the build.

The six weekend sessions are the backbone of the program - each one builds on the last and guides you toward your final product. We strongly encourage attending live so you can ask questions in the moment, but every session is also recorded, so you can catch up any time and keep moving at your own pace.
