IS YOUR PORTFOLIO FACING THESE AI CHALLENGES?

The Untapped Potential in Your Ecosystem

Busy founders are struggling to navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape effectively. Sound familiar?

  • Founders experiment with basic AI (like ChatGPT) but lack a systematic approach to uncover deeper, strategic applications.
  • Difficulty separating AI hype from genuine, business-altering capabilities relevant to their specific venture.
  • Uncertainty about which operational bottlenecks or growth levers can be most effectively addressed by AI today.
  • Watching competitors deploy AI solutions that create an uneven playing field.
  • A lack of structured frameworks for identifying, testing, and implementing high-ROI AI workflows across their teams.

Investing in founder AI literacy isn't just a perk, it's a strategic imperative for portfolio growth and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this program directly benefit our organization's goals?

By upskilling your founders in AI, you directly enhance their ability to build successful, scalable companies. This improves portfolio performance, increases potential ROI (for VCs/Incubators), fosters innovation within your ecosystem, and aligns with workforce development mandates by equipping individuals with critical future skills.

Is the content relevant across different industries and venture stages?

Yes. While examples span various sectors, the core frameworks for AI evaluation, prompt engineering, workflow automation, and strategic implementation are universally applicable. The final module focuses on creating a personalized roadmap tailored to each founder's specific venture and industry.

What is the process for enrolling a cohort?

Contact us to discuss your needs. We'll explore the best fit (standard cohort, custom program), provide transparent pricing based on volume, and arrange seamless onboarding for your selected founders.

How is the impact or ROI measured?

Impact is measured through founder self-reported time savings, new AI-driven efficiencies implemented, qualitative feedback on strategic shifts, and ultimately, the enhanced trajectory and performance of the ventures. We provide frameworks for founders to track their own ROI.

How does this differ from other founder perks or training resources?

Upskailed focuses specifically on building practical AI Acumen for immediate business application, taught by an expert actively experimenting at the cutting edge. It's an implementation-focused program with direct support, not just passive information consumption. It directly addresses the strategic imperative of AI literacy for business survival and growth.

Don't Let Your Portfolio Fall Behind the AI Curve

The biggest risk isn't AI replacing founders, it's founders being outcompeted by those who leverage AI effectively. Give your portfolio the strategic advantage of AI acumen.
