The Radical AI Founders Masterclass is an exclusive annual program designed to equip AI researchers and technical entrepreneurs with the inspiration and practical knowledge to build AI products and businesses. Over four weeks, we host virtual, free sessions with world-leading AI pioneers, successful entrepreneurs, and leaders from top AI companies, complemented by tactical sessions covering AI product development, business integration strategies, and other essential areas that AI founders need to master.
Our 2025 Masterclass kicks off in early October and will feature prominent AI leaders like May Habib, CEO of Writer, and Joelle Pineau, AI pioneer, alongside tactical sessions focused on building an AI business from the ground-up.
By joining the flagship program, you’ll become a member of our AI Founders Masterclass community, with 2000+ AI researchers and entrepreneurs from the world’s top industry and university labs. Our members are associated with leading global research organizations including Stanford, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Berkeley, University of Toronto, and premier AI institutes like Vector, Mila, and Allen Institute for AI.
