Foundation

Identity, leadership, and credentials

  • Mission, brand, and website

    Live

    Mission and vision decided and proofed. This site is live on the BYU domain, with the proposal and network forms writing to our own database.

  • Claude Architect certification

    In progress

    0of 10 certified

    The cohort certifies on the frontier agent tooling we build with. Leadership first, then out to the wider roster.

  • Advisory board

    In progress

    9confirmed

    Senior advisors across AI, venture, and industry, recruited to advise the program rather than to decorate a page.

  • Founding partners

    In progress

    Organizations committing project work, mentorship, and access to the cohort.

Community

Reach, presence, and the first events

  • Reaching the BYU Marriott cohort directly

    In progress

    Meeting MBAs where they already are, in the channels the school already runs, rather than waiting for them to find the program.

  • The network

    In progress

    147people in the network

    Alumni, faculty, founders, and builders who want the digest, the events, or first access to the cohort when they are hiring.

  • Marketing and LinkedIn

    In progress

    116followers

    Building the program's presence across BYU Marriott and the wider AI and venture community.

  • Client project pipeline

    In progress

    Scoping inbound work from this site and matching each project to a velocity pod. First engagements are being scoped now.

  • Launch party

    Planned

    The public launch, bringing the network, the advisory board, and the founding partners into one room.

  • MBA case competition

    Planned

    A low-stakes AI case competition for BYU MBAs. It builds the culture and surfaces the builders worth recruiting.

Programs

Competition, conference, and scale

  • Competitive product competition

    Planned

    A high-stakes AI product competition with a real judging panel and partner sponsors.

  • School-wide hackathon

    Planned

    BYU-wide and cross-disciplinary. Mixed teams shipping something that runs, in a weekend.

  • Conference

    Planned

    Speakers, demos, and a recruiting showcase. Whether it runs in the fall alone or in both semesters is still open.
