This course examines what startups look like in the world of AI and what it means for founders. As the cost of building a product and reaching customers moves to zero, knowing what to build and why becomes exponentially more important. Combining speakers who are currently building AI native companies, theory and frameworks about startups, and hands on experience, students learn how companies and products are built today and where bottlenecks now emerge. Individual applications required. Prerequisite: an intense, current engagement with the state of AI, working familiarity with the tooling landscape, and a demonstrated ability to execute on an idea of their own. Limited enrollment.
