Take your idea from concept to launch in a series of interactive sessions. Leverage AI tools to build a live product, put it in front of users, & leave with honest feedback, concrete next steps, & the tools to keep going - no coding background required.
Who it is for
Current NYU students, Alumni, & Faculty
People who code & people who don't.
Anyone who wants to test an idea quickly & cheaply before committing time & money to it.
Key highlights
Hands-on from start to finish. Every session ends with something real in hand, not just notes.
Real customers, not guesses. Founders talk to 5 to 10 potential users & put a working product in front of them.
Two tracks. No-code founders build with tools like Lovable, Replit, v0 & Bolt. Founders who code use Claude Code or Cursor.
Honest checks built in. Founders open & verify every source, set their success target before the results come in, & have a second tool test every build.
A live product with a real ask. Each product goes live with a waitlist, pre-order or booking option.
Demo day. The series ends with founders presenting to guest founders & investors.
Tools they keep. Every founder leaves with the full Leverage kit & their own working setup.
What founders walk away with
A tested idea. Assumptions checked against real conversations & real data.
A live product MVP. Reviewed, tested, & in front of first users, or a clear & cheap "no."
A decision & a plan. Continue, change, or stop, backed by evidence, with the next 14-day test written out.
Their own working toolkit. Research, idea testing, building & review tools, set up & ready to use.
The Leverage kit. Every prompt & tool used in the series.
Good habits. Check the sources. Set the target first. Never let the builder grade its own work.
A cohort. A group of founders who built alongside them.
Session 2: Build
Move from validation to a working product. Founders write a focused one-page plan based on customer interviews, building exclusively to test their biggest assumption. An AI verification tool tests the build against the plan before launch, followed by rapid 60-second live demos & peer critiques.
PARTICIPANTS LEAVE WITH
A live product at a link
A real ask on it: waitlist, pre-order or booking
A build reviewed & tested independently
BETWEEN SESSIONS
Founders share the link with everyone they interviewed & post it where their users gather. They track visits, signups, return use & payments.
