Week 1 of 4 · Launch

Get a first live link.

Students find their idea, starting from what they already enjoy, and build the first version with AI. In the first class they build their own website. In the second they launch version 1 of their business, with a way to sign up or buy.

Class 1 · Live · 60 minYour own website, live

They describe a site in plain words and build it with AI. It is live at a real link by the end of class.

Class 2 · Live · 60 minYour business, version 1

The simplest working version of their business at a real link, with one way to sign up or buy.

Timed mission · About 30 minGet first feedback

Show version 1 to 3 people: would it work, what would you change, would you pay?

Week 2 of 4 · Direct

Make it better with feedback and AI.

Real feedback makes the business better. Students use critique and an AI coach that pushes back to improve version 1, then build their first AI employee to help run the business.

Class 3 · Live · 60 minFeedback and critique

Real feedback, an AI coach that pushes back, and version 1.1.

Class 4 · Live · 60 minYour first AI employee

One AI agent that researches or answers customer questions for their business, checked by them.

Timed mission · About 30 minFix the top feedback

Run the agent 3 times, note one thing it got wrong, and fix the biggest piece of feedback.

Week 3 of 4 · Grow

Get real people using it.

The business side: marketing, finding customers and pricing. Students make an AI video or ad for their business, then turn that attention into first sign-ups or a first sale.

Class 5 · Live · 60 minGet it seen

An AI video or ad for their business, and first real customers.

Class 6 · Live · 60 minTurn attention into results

First sign-ups or a first sale: price, offer and where to post.

Timed mission · About 30 minShare it 5 times

Push for a first sale or 10 sign-ups, and track what worked.

Week 4 of 4 · Show

Pitch the business.

They go for a first sale, then present their live business and its real numbers to their classmates on the last class.

Class 7 · Live · 60 minPitch and peer review

Test a classmate's business, then rehearse their own pitch.

Timed mission · About 30 minRehearse a 3-minute pitch

Practise with an AI coach set to push back.

Class 8 · Live · 60 minPresent the business

Their live business, its real numbers (visitors, sign-ups, sales) and what's next, presented to their classmates.

Show, don't tell

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

They direct, AI builds

Your teenager directs the work like a CEO managing a team, and learns to judge whether the AI delivered.

Community

Their first business partner could be here.

Your teen joins other ambitious teenagers full of ideas, in live classes and in our private community in between. Imagine them meeting someone brilliant at design, someone else who loves marketing, and discovering that together they can turn an idea into a real business. A community like this is priceless.

For parents

Questions parents ask.

Anything else, ask us when you apply.

Apply for F26
01Does my teen need to know how to code?

No, and that's the point. Most kids use AI to do less: write the essay, summarise the chapter, copy and paste. We teach the opposite. Your teenager uses AI to do more than they ever could alone, and they're the one in charge.

The skills we teach are the ones AI can't do for them. Taking ownership of a project. Deciding what to build and why. Managing it from idea to launch. Judging whether what the AI built is actually good. Finding customers, pitching and selling. Coding is no longer the barrier. Agency, judgement and follow-through are, and that's what they'll come away with.

This way of thinking is exactly what Future Masters mentors teach, along with how to put it into practice on a real business.

02What exactly is in the program?

We've shared the highlights above. Here's the full picture of what your teen gets over the four weeks, and after.

Week 1: find the idea and build the first version. Two live classes with Ryan and David. Your teen starts from what they already enjoy, turns it into a business idea, and builds the first working version of it with AI: a real website or product they can open and show you.

Between classes: they work through timed missions, get help from mentors in the private Discord, and can ask their AI assistant anything, any time.

Week 2: make it what they really wanted. First versions are never quite right. This week we teach them how to improve it, step by step, until it looks and works the way they imagined.

Week 3: the business side. Marketing, finding customers, pricing and how to talk about what they built, taught the way top startup programs teach founders.

Week 4: go for a first sale. They put their offer in front of real customers, then present their business to their classmates on the last class.

The whole way through: 24/7 access to the private Discord community and their AI assistant, mentors guiding them between classes, and a room full of ambitious teens to build with. They finish with a live business, real skills, and the confidence that they can build what they imagine.

03What happens after the four weeks?

It doesn't end there. Once their business is live and getting its first customers, that's the beginning, and we stay with them. They keep access to our private community and to our coaches, mentors and instructors, with no end date.

When they hit a roadblock, they can come back to us. Our founders have built and scaled real companies, and helping teens keep going after launch is part of what we do.

04What if they don't have a business idea?

That's completely normal, and most students arrive without one. We start with what they already love: gaming, fashion, music, sport, art, anything. Whatever your teenager enjoys spending time on is exactly where we start.

Our mentors help them shape that spark into something they can build and sell. Mike turned his into a lip balm brand, Anavae hers into a singing app, Colt his into a custom pen shop. The idea comes out of the class, not before it.

05Does my son or daughter have to join the call?

They're very welcome, and it helps our admissions team see what lights them up. If they can't make it, come on your own this first time and we'll arrange a follow-up with them.

06Is everything online?

Yes, and it's one of the best parts. There's nowhere to drive and nothing to fit around a commute. Your teenager joins live classes from home, works alongside other ambitious students in real time, and gets live help from coaches.

Everything they need is online and instantly available: the classes, the recordings, our private Discord community and their own AI assistant, 24/7. When an idea strikes at 9pm on a Sunday, they can act on it straight away instead of waiting a week for the next lesson.

07What does it cost?

Tuition is $5,000 if your teen is offered a place. But a place isn't guaranteed. We're looking for students who are a genuinely strong fit, because every student in the room shapes the experience for everyone else.

So the real question isn't the price. It's the fit. That's what the call is for, and if the fit is there, you'll be invited to join.
