[Incubator] Dates for our next Student Orientation and Demo Day

Hey Innovator,

I’ve spent the last few days doing personal intros with dozens of new Innovating with AI Incubator students.

In the first step of our Complete Program, you join our community and get connected with 200+ like-minded AI enthusiasts. I’ve shared a few of their stories with you already. Here's another:

Clem’s likely path through the 9-module program:

• Build an AI process that helps with his existing work in data analytics (Modules 4 and 6)
  ​
• Bonus: Share the new process with his team at work
  ​
• The Innovation Cycle: Generate dozens more product and process ideas and master the art of the 10-Hour Prototype (Modules 5 and 9)

•••

I’ve met a lot of students this week and I’m starting to see patterns in who’s joining the Incubator and why:

• Some people have an idea already, others don’t – that’s why Module 2 is all about generating a long pipeline of great AI product and process ideas that are unique to your area of expertise
  ​
• Many students are already far along in their careers – and are now adding AI to the mix to supercharge their next chapter
  ​
• A lot of our new students were inspired by what they saw at Demo Day – when our previous cohort shared their ideas with 100,000+ AI fans.

Demo Day: Watch the Free Replay

If you haven’t yet, sit down and enjoy the replay of our Demo Day events, when 18 of our students presented their prototypes to hundreds of live attendees and tens of thousands of readers of our newsletter.

And yes, this is yet another moment when 100,000+ people are seeing their AI ideas.

​Watch the full Demo Day replays for free right now and tell me if it inspires you too.​

Back in December we had one Demo Day – but our January Incubator cohort was so successful that we had to triple it and do three Demo Days this month.

The January cohort also had a 98.7% success rate, which blows my mind.

The students that join the Incubator this week will be invited to present their new AI ideas at the next Demo Day in August. Here's how that works:

• First, we’re inviting our 140,000+ readers to Demo Day.
  ​
• Then, we’re inviting 1,500,000 readers from the top AI newsletters to watch the live event too.
  ​
• And we’re sending all those 1,500,000 people the replay so they can see your AI idea again and become your first users and customers.

All in all, the promotion you get if your prototype is selected for Demo Day adds up to $30,000 in free advertising.

(Hard to believe? We did the math and showed the receipts on this page.)

The Incubator is more than just the coaching, curriculum and community – it’s also your launchpad to get your idea in front of 1.5 million AI enthusiasts.

But you don’t need to wait until Demo Day to build your network –

That starts immediately when you join the Complete Program and get your private invitation to our Slack community.

Then we take it to the next level in our first Student Orientation call, happening next week (Thursday, May 2).

The vibe on that call is like the best first day of school ever.

You get to meet everybody who joined in the past week and is going through the process right alongside you. Then you get the chance to get to know them even better as you share your experiences in the Slack community.

From there, if things feel right, you might even become accountability partners to help each other on your AI innovation journey together.

Here’s a real image from orientation (70+ students joined live):

The folks who joined in the past week are already zooming through the curriculum, sharing their ChatGPT and no-code tips in the community, and prepping for our live coaching and training sessions.

They’re wondering if you’ll be joining them, too.

Remember, enrollment closes Friday at 11:59 p.m.

Because I have promised to give my students 100% of my attention between now and Demo Day in August, we cannot make any exceptions – if you ask to join after the deadline, I will have to say no.

See you at the student orientation,
