FOR MENTORS

Share what you know. Get paid. Build your reputation.

Domain practitioners who've adopted AI in their own work - guiding the next generation of AI-efficient professionals.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You don't need to be an AI expert. You need to be a domain expert who uses AI.

7+ years domain experience

You know your field deeply. Marketing, ops, finance, design, DevOps, data science. The AI knowledge we can help with.

AI adopted in your own work

You use AI tools in your day-to-day. You've built workflows. You've hit the walls. That's what cohort members need to hear.

Teach by doing, not lecturing

Comfortable running a problem-solving session, not delivering a keynote. The best mentors facilitate; they don't perform.
