You're competing with thousands of applicants for every role, submitting hundreds of applications that go nowhere. Meanwhile, going out on your own feels terrifying because no one's shown you how to make money at it. You've got the skills companies need, but you're stuck applying instead of converting your expertise into income.Here's what I learned: I started my GenAI business in less than 24 hours and replaced my corporate income in less than a week. That timeline might not be typical, but here's what is: building your own business is often faster than landing another corporate job when you have the right framework. Most tech professionals waste months figuring this out alone. This course gives you the exact system. You'll learn how to calculate your required income, design the right business model for your expertise (freelance, consulting, fractional, or product), set up operations, develop a client acquisition strategy, and set rates. Complete the optional capstone and you'll go live with your business by the end of the course! Whether you're employed or laid off, you'll have everything you need to start generating revenue from your expertise.

Tech layoffs keep coming, and the job market is a nightmare

Apply the Financial Readiness Framework to determine your income requirements

Design your personalized solopreneur model for your tech expertise

Set up your business operations and infrastructure

Develop your client acquisition strategy and set competitive rates

A big portion of what we will be talking about is leveraging your network. So it will help to have worked a corporate job or two already.

Senior ICs and managers who are worried about layoffs and want to build a business that replaces their corporate salary.

You’ve built teams, led complex projects, and climbed the corporate ladder. But turning that experience into a business of your own? That's uncharted territory.If you’re like most new fractionals, you’ve probably been spinning your wheels: tinkering with your website, sending cold emails with no replies, second-guessing your pricing, or wondering if you’re doing it right.

You've watched engineering spend months building something that flopped at launch. You've sat in prioritization meetings arguing about which bet to make, with nothing but opinions and gut feel.There's a better way.This course gives you a systematic method to validate product ideas before you ask engineering for a single sprint. Using AI-powered prototyping, structured experimentation, and real market testing, you'll learn to separate winning ideas from expensive mistakes in weeks or days rather than quarters.By the end of this 4-week course, you'll have validated (or invalidated) a real product concept using techniques you can repeat on every initiative you touch.<h2>THE PROBLEM THIS COURSE SOLVES</h2>Product leaders face a credibility gap:• Competitors ship faster because they've figured out how to test before they build• Your roadmap is built on assumptions, but stakeholders expect certainty• Engineering capacity is scarce, and you can't afford to waste sprints on unvalidated ideas• AI tools exist that could accelerate validation, but you're not using them systematicallyMost PM courses teach you frameworks for thinking. This one teaches you a system for proving.

The systematic approach to validating product bets before engineering commits.

Most designers can create polished screens. Few know how to turn them into real products people actually use and pay for.If your ideas are stuck in Figma, the problem isn’t talent; it’s knowing what to build, how much to build, and how to launch.In this 3-week sprint, you will:• Build a working MVP• Launch a conversion-focused landing page• Put your product in front of real users at a real price• Use modern tools, including AI, to move fast and stay focusedThis is not a coding bootcamp.
