Agentic AI for Founders, CMOs, and Growth Leaders

Grace Man

AI Entrepreneur | Ex-Microsoft |

From AI hype & chaos to confident agentic systems that drive compounding growth.

The gap between AI potential and real execution in marketing, growth, and CRM is growing fast.

The future belongs to leaders who don't just use AI tools, but build AI systems. Ones that identify opportunities, turn ambiguity into workflows, and compound over time.

Most founders, senior leaders, and operators today have an AI chat tab open, AI tools open, CRM data in silos, and an agentic workflow from last month that half works. They're using AI to move faster. Not to compound growth.

That's the gap this cohort closes.

Approach of this cohort:

  • Balanced learning approach: strategy, concepts, and hands-on implementation

  • Small cohort format designed for deeper discussion and personalized learning

  • Fully live sessions with real workflows, demos, and practical examples

  • Optional office hours 1:1 coaching for Q&A and additional support

This course is about turning AI ambition into practical execution that compounds over time. This course is built for non-technical founders, marketers, operators and growth leaders.

We focus on the agentic workflows and Claude ecosystem (Claude Cowork, Claude Code, MCP, Skill, Plugins) for business use cases.

What you’ll learn

73% of founders, growth leaders, and marketers say AI is a priority, but fewer than 1 in 5 have deployed a working agent.

  • How to evaluate AI output as a non-technical leader, approach, frameowork, template.

  • Distinguish between human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop models and know when to use each

  • Includes a one-page AI leadership principles template to adapt for your team or share with stakeholders.

  • Monitors real-time buying signals: activity, profiles, keywords, job changes, and scores each one against your ICP criteria automatically.

  • Create outreach prompt sequences that produce voice-calibrated, signal-referenced messages with Claude ecosystem.

  • Built live in Claude Cowork + Claude Coade + your CRM tools during the session, you leave with it running and working.

  • Connects to your AI meeting layer and extracts key insights, tensions, and quotable moments from every conversation.

  • Routes content through Claude to produce LinkedIn post formats, a newsletter section & a personalized follow-up email from the same source.

  • Design and build your content pipeline so a 60-minute meeting becomes 5–7 pieces of content/week without ever starting from a blank page.

  • A personal post formula calibrated to your voice and ICP, with five posts written and scheduled before the session ends.

  • An AI commenting workflow that lets you engage meaningfully on high-signal posts in under two minutes per day.

  • Voice calibration so your AI-assisted content sounds like you at your best, not a press release.

  • When the outbound agent qualifies a lead, that contact enters your CRM automatically, no manual logging.

  • Content engagement and email opens trigger lead score updates and follow-up tasks without any human input.

  • Your outbound and content systems are feeding one live pipeline view, maintained entirely by agents.

  • Built from a structured stack audit completed during the session: your tools, your highest-friction tasks, your available time.

  • Outputs a prioritised plan: Which agent to deploy in week one, what to connect in week two, what to measure by day 30.

  • Addresses the most common post-course failure mode: leaving motivated but without a clear first action.
