AI Builder Sprint - Application

Idea to product. Four Thursdays. One Demo Day. June 11 -July 17, 2026.

The bar is what you ship, not who vouched for you. We're looking for builders with a real problem worth solving and the focus to ship a working AI system in four weeks. This application takes about 15 minutes. Be specific, vague answers are the easiest to decline.
Sessions: Thursdays 6–8 PM CT, in-person only. Demo Day: Friday, July 17, 3–8 PM CT.
Applications close June 5th.


The $75 (members) or $100 (non-members) program fee is collected at submission. Refunded within 3 business days if you're not selected.
