Unveiling

AI Startup School

  • Most AI business courses focus either on technical implementation or general AI awareness. Our program is unique in three ways:

    1. We provide a systematic framework (aiBlocks) for implementing AI across your entire business,

    2. We demonstrate solo+AI operations through real-world examples, including our own operations,

    3. We focus on practical implementation while developing 8 out of 10 top future skills identified by the World Economic Forum.

  • Basic knowledge of AI and technology is sufficient. The course is designed to accommodate participants from diverse backgrounds. Our focus is on strategic AI implementation rather than coding. We teach you how to effectively utilize existing AI tools and platforms, make informed decisions about AI integration, and manage AI-enhanced operations. The aiBlocks System is designed to help you understand where and how to implement AI solutions, whether through off-the-shelf products, custom solutions, or hybrid approaches.

  • Solo+AI operation is the future of entrepreneurship where one person can effectively run operations that traditionally required large teams. Through strategic AI implementation guided by the aiBlocks System, you can automate and enhance various business functions - from market research and customer service to operations and financial management. We demonstrate this through our own operation of Otonom Fund, where AI augmentation allows us to maintain the efficiency of a 20-person team while preserving the agility and decision-making speed of a solo founder.

  • The AI Startup Bootcamp is a cornerstone of Otonom, offering a comprehensive 4-week training program (16 hours total, 4 hours per week) designed for tech entrepreneurs. Here's what you need to know:

    1. Purpose: We bridge the gap between technical expertise and the skills needed to lead and scale a high-tech company.

    2. Curriculum: The program uses a systematic approach, incorporating US experiences and an extensive case study of Apple, Inc. (the "Apple Deep Dive").

    3. Hands-on Learning: Participants apply learnings directly to their own projects, receiving instant feedback. Those without their own projects can  contribute to Otonom itself and/or can pick a project from the list of projects Otonom deems vital for the ecosystem.

    4. Selection Process: The school serves as a selection mechanism for Otonom funding, allowing us to thoroughly evaluate projects and teams.

    5. Acceleration: Following the 4-week training, selected projects enter a 4-week acceleration phase with support from our core team and mentors.

    6. Financial Model: 

    • All participants pay their fee upfront.

    • At the end of the training, the teams that were selected to be listed on Otonom are reimbursed.

    • Contributors to Otonom (with or without their own projects) not only get reimbursed up to 70%, but also receive additional benefits through airdrops.

    This model ensures that everyone benefits, whether their project is selected or they choose to contribute to Otonom directly.

  • The aiBlocks System is a revolutionary business framework that combines systems thinking with AI integration. Think of it as building blocks for your business, where each block represents a specific business function that can be enhanced with AI capabilities. It's a systematic approach that allows you to build and run complex business operations efficiently, even as a solo founder. The system provides a clear roadmap for implementing AI across your venture while maintaining strategic control and operational excellence.

  • All classes will be recorded and shared with participants. However, live participation is recommended for an interactive learning experience.

  • Yes, all participants who successfully complete the course will receive a digital certificate.

  • No, it's not mandatory, but course participants are given priority in evaluation and have the opportunity to develop their projects.

  • 80% refund is provided until the end of the first week of the course. No refunds are given for cancellations after that.

  • Certainly! At AI Startup Bootcamp, we have various pricing options for different participant profiles. While our standard price is $2,000, we offer special discounts for early registrants, students and academics, community members, and group participants. 

  • At AI Startup School, we focused on three core principles when creating our pricing strategy:

    1. Value Delivery: Our program offers a unique and comprehensive education in AI entrepreneurship. Features such as the Boost AIMS methodology, Apple Deep Dive approach, and connection with Otonom Fund reflect the high value we offer to participants.

    2. Accessibility: We care about making our program accessible to participants from different profiles. That's why we offer various discount options and payment plans.

    3. Ecosystem Building: Our pricing policy aims not just to sell a course, but also to build a strong AI entrepreneurship ecosystem. Group discounts, community programs and the advantages we offer to those who contribute to Otonom, support this goal.

    With this approach, we aim to reflect the true value of our course while offering various opportunities to potential participants and creating a long-term learning and collaboration community.

  • We value every contribution to Otonom and have established a fair compensation system. As part of our Otonom Contribution Program, you will receive up to 70% refund for active contribution to the Otonom project after the training. Here is how it works:

    1. Task Scoring: Each task is assigned a score in our project management system.

    2. $OFUND Airdrops: Contributors earn $OFUND tokens through periodic airdrops, based on the points they accumulate.

    3. Long-term Value: Our ultimate goal is to increase Otonom's value, which in turn increases the value of $OFUND tokens. This approach aligns everyone's interests and rewards sustained, quality contributions.

    By contributing, you're not just earning tokens - you're building equity in the Otonom ecosystem.
