Apply NowAI for Founders & CEOs: The Five Levels of Thought Partnership (In-Person only)
300+ Founders & CEOs have taken this workshop. Their verdict: 'Best one this year by far.
Now it's your turn.
FounderNexus is partnering with the Alliance of CEOs to bring you an exclusive, hands-on workshop that will change how you lead. This isn't another AI overview or hype session. It's a practical deep dive built around one core promise: you leave with tools and skills you'll use the very next day.
Led by Sam Keller, Co-Founder of Gen AI Academy, this session has already transformed how 300+ leaders think about and use AI — and now it's coming to San Francisco.
Before the workshop, you'll receive a personalized AI Self-Assessment so the session is calibrated to exactly where you are and where you want to go.
What You'll Walk Away With
In just three hours, you'll learn how to:
- Pressure-test your biggest decisions: use AI to challenge assumptions and stress-test strategy in real time
- Get dramatically better outputs: brief AI the way you'd brief your sharpest executive
- Build your AI Dream Team: specialized assistants working for you around the clock
- Automate with AI Agents: move beyond insights into real execution: research, workflows, and action
- Win in high-stakes moments: from strategic planning to major negotiations, have AI in your corner
What Leaders Are Saying
"Best one this year by far!! Immediately valuable."
"I was literally blown away - I will be utilizing the new tools immediately."
"This will take our company to the next level. We are already applying it."
"Now I have a much deeper understanding of how to use AI tools in my work."
About Gen AI Academy
Gen AI Academy has an origin story unlike most: in 2023, founder Sam Keller and his 12-year-old son Kaz sat down to explore the promise and pitfalls of ChatGPT. That father-son experiment quickly grew into something much bigger, as hundreds of leaders joined their workshops hungry to make sense of this powerful new technology.
What Sam kept hearing was the same thing: leaders didn't just want technical how-tos. They needed the mindsets, skills, tools, and habits to weave AI into strategy, culture, and daily work. Gen AI Academy was built to answer exactly that need. Today they've trained 1,000+ professionals, including 300+ Founders & CEOs, delivering hands-on training, custom-built AI tools, and governance frameworks that make adoption powerful and responsible.
