Hey Innovator,
This week we opened the doors to the new cohort of the Innovating with AI Incubator program, and we’re already getting a ton of great questions.
The most common: “Which of the 3 Incubator learning tracks is right for me?”
Great question. If you’ve already clicked that link and scrolled down the page, then you’ve seen the 3 options that look like this:
I call these learning tracks and if you’re on mobile, it’ll be hard to read the text in that picture so here are the three tracks:
Track 1: Essential Program
Track 2: The Complete Program
Track 3: Private Mentorship + Mastermind
Before I get into what’s different for each, first, let’s talk about Track 1: The Essentials Program (it focuses on the curriculum and it’s also included in the other tracks).
Track 1 - The Essential Program
To recap, every Incubator student gets access to the full 9-module Innovator Sprint curriculum, which includes:
The “Innovation Sprint” Curriculum:
Launch your AI idea as a product or process in 30 days (or at your own pace).
We look at it like software, but for your mind, so we keep it up-to-date based on student feedback from every cohort.
The curriculum consists of 9 modules, organized into three Innovation Sprints that cover the following areas:
- Sprint 1 – Find Your Idea – Select, Refine and Timeline Your Best Idea(s)
- Sprint 2 – Build Your Idea – Go from Idea to AI Product or Process
- Sprint 3 – Launch Your Idea – Go from Idea to AI Business
The curriculum is entirely on-demand and self-paced, so you don’t need to worry about scheduling (just work through it at the time and speed that is right for you). And you have lifetime access to all curriculum content.
This is the exact same curriculum that all 11 Demo Day presenters went through prior to showing you their new AI products and processes at our three live events earlier this month. (If you missed any of the three live events, all the replays are on this page.)
The curriculum-only version of the Incubator is called the Essential Program. It’s our most financially accessible option ($3.19/day with our installment plan) and is also great for students whose schedules might make it hard to fully participate in our live coaching, live training and community (more on those in a moment).
And everybody (Essential Program students included) gets invited to present their prototype at our next Demo Day, which will be in August.
For a more detailed look at the curriculum, see the break-down here.
Track 2 - The Complete Program
Key Differences: Live Coaching, Live Training, and Slack Community
Now let’s look at the next level up, the Complete Program. This includes the full curriculum, plus:
- Live Coaching – I answer questions you have about the curriculum and your AI idea on a live group call. It’s a group coaching call that everyone in the Complete Program has access to. Depending on volume, I’ll group questions to help more of you all at once.
- Live Training – I teach a self-contained lesson on a new or trending topic to keep you up to date with the latest AI advancements at all times. This is a new lesson that complements the curriculum, with time for live Q&A at the end.
- The “Always On” Community – Whether you like to connect on live group Zoom sessions or in a private community on Slack, we’ve got your back. Inside, you’ll join hundreds of students from around the world.
What to expect:
1 year of access to our ongoing live coaching and training sessions. This is included for every Complete Program student.
Live Coaching – These are live Q&A (question and answer) group calls where you get to ask me questions directly about what you’re working on. The goal: ship better AI ideas faster and with less stress with the right feedback.
Live Training – These are also group calls, but on these calls, I’ll be in “teacher mode”, with a structured lesson or workshop for you to accomplish a predetermined objective. These are done in response to student needs, and ensure we cover anything that’s not already inside the curriculum. Then, as you might expect, if it comes up enough, we update the permanent curriculum to include it.
Slack Community – 300+ fellow professionals and entrepreneurs sharing strategies, tools, feedback and insights with their fellow Incubator students. Great for networking and finding your first beta testers, and to get quick access to me for questions.
The goal: make sure you always know what to do with all the new AI stuff that comes out, especially after you’ve launched your idea. This makes sure your stuff is always “best-in-class”.
Is this right for you?
The Community, Live Coaching & Training in the Complete Program is best for you if you want to join group sessions that keep you up-to-date on the latest happenings in AI – or if you prefer to watch those sessions in recorded format on your own schedule. (You’ll get lifetime access to the recordings of all the calls that take place in the next year.)
We’ve designed this part of the program to make sure you have a place to get your questions answered and never miss out on an opportunity to level up your product or process as new AI advancements hit the market. And since you’ll have access to all the recordings, it’s great for Innovators who want a flexible schedule or can’t attend coaching sessions during business hours.
What students say:
“The personalization that you, Rob, brought…that sold me. [Then], you helped me build a prototype to get funding…you really cared – about the student, their concerns, and the outcome. Thank you.”

Track 3 - Private Mentorship Sprint + 1-Year Mastermind
Key Differences: 1-on-1 calls, 3 hours of software development, bring your team, and network with other mentorship students. Launch guaranteed.
- 6 WEEKS OF 1-ON-1 CALLS: Work with Rob in weekly private, 30-minute personalized coaching sessions
- SOFTWARE EXPERTS: Three 1-hour sessions with our software development team to help create your prototype
- MONTHLY MASTERMIND: Meet up with fellow Mentorship students each month for a virtual “mastermind” for the next 12 months
- BRING YOUR TEAM: Include up to 3 employees in your private coaching sessions with Rob
- UNLIMITED 1-ON-1 SLACK: Talk with Rob anytime, about anything, in between your mentorship calls
- LAUNCH GUARANTEE: Backed by our ship your AI idea in 60 days guarantee
What to expect:
The private mentorship is the pinnacle of the Incubator coaching experience – for six weeks, I’ll work with you in private, 30-minute, 1-to-1 calls to shepherd you through the entire Incubator process – from idea generation to defining your first project to building and launching your prototype.
Best part? When you enroll in a private mentorship, I become your personal AI consultant and I guarantee that we will ship your first product or process within your first 60 days.
I’ve only scheduled 15 private mentorship slots for this cohort, and they’re already filling up.
And if you have a team working on your project with you, you can bring up to 3 employees or business partners to your private mentorship sessions at no extra charge.
Is a Private Mentorship right for you?
The private mentorship is right for you if you want an even higher level of personalized attention, or if you want to bring a small team along with you to our coaching calls. (You can include up to three employees or business partners in our session.)
It’s also ideal if, for legal or privacy reasons, you want a higher level of confidentiality as you build your product or process. For example, some of our private mentorship students are building tools that involve the analysis of medical data, which requires an added layer of privacy that not every project needs.
The private mentorship effectively makes you and your organization my client for six weeks, which means you get the highest level of attention, and I join your team and work arm-in-arm with you to help you reach and exceed your goals for your AI product or process.
What students say:
Here’s Laura, who finished her Private Mentorship with the launch of her new project, ForenPsych (legal + medical + AI), at Demo Day.
"The private mentorship was fantastic because it meant that I had to hone down my idea … Narrow it down to something that actually worked. You can’t write a thesis, you can’t do an app, that’s too broad.
This would no question have taken me six months ... both working with Rob and having Demo Day coming up made this happen, and now I have a workable app … that never in a million years would have happened had I not done the Incubator."
– Laura D., Psychiatrist (Full video)
Can I upgrade later?
Remember, enrollment closes Friday, April 26, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific.
If you join the Essential Program or Complete Program this week and decide to upgrade to a higher level of the Incubator later on, just email me and we’ll get you in as soon as possible. (Keep in mind that availability for Private Mentorships is limited, so there may be some wait time if you don’t enroll right away.)
But, in order to respect all our students who are already working through the Incubator program with me, you will only be eligible to upgrade if you enroll in the Essential Program or Complete Program before next week’s deadline.
Here's the link to see everything that's included in the AI Incubator.

See you inside the program,

Founder of Innovating with AI
PS. The new cohort of the Innovating with AI Incubator is now open. Enrollment closes one week from today (Friday, April 26) at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
Summer is coming up, and, truth be told, I’d like you to think of this as electives in college. For some of you, this will be your chance to “get ahead” by putting in as much time as you can over the summer to get your idea out to the world.
For others, you might want a more relaxed pace, which allows you to enjoy making progress on your AI idea while on summer vacay, which might be just the thing you need to take advantage of the extra creativity that comes when you have extra space to breathe.
You know yourself best, and whatever “Summer School” track of AI Incubator you choose, know that I’m here for you at every step of the way. My goal? See you become the “smartest person in the AI room” by the end of summer 🍹🏖️😎
Invest in the track that’s right for you here.
