What do I get with the Fellowship?
Twelve months of:
• Every AI Product Management certification we run on Maven, plus the Stanford workshop
• Every new cohort and course we launch during your year
• Our private community, with weekly expert sessions
• Two 1:1 sessions with Marily
• A Mac of your choice, yours to keep
Which courses are included?
All nine in the curriculum above: eight certifications on Maven and one live workshop at Stanford Continuing Studies. When we launch a new course during your year, it’s included at no extra cost.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The curriculum runs from Beginner to Advanced, so you start at your level. Most students take the AI-Enhanced Product Management Certification first, then the Bootcamp.
How do the courses run?
Live, on Maven, on each course’s own cohort schedule. You join the cohorts that fit your calendar during your Fellowship year.
Which Mac do I get, and when does it ship?
Your choice: the M6 Mac mini or the MacBook Neo. After you join, we send you a short form to pick one.
If you pay in full, we order your Mac 14 days after you join. If you’re on a payment plan, we order it 14 days after your final installment clears. One Mac per member.
What’s the difference between Early Bird and Standard?
Nothing, except the price. It’s the same Fellowship, Mac included. Early Bird is $3,550 for your first year instead of $5,000, for the first 100 seats only. When they’re gone, there are no extensions.
Does it renew?
Yes. The Fellowship is an annual membership. It renews each year at the standard price (currently $5,000), and we email you a reminder before it does.
You can cancel anytime from your account billing settings, or by emailing [email protected] at least 3 days before your renewal date. You keep full access until the end of the year you’ve paid for.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If the Fellowship isn’t right for you, email [email protected] within 14 days of joining for a full refund.
One condition: it covers you before you start. Once you’ve opened course material, joined the community or attended a session, the Fellowship counts as delivered and the refund no longer applies.
I’ve taken one of your courses. Can I upgrade?
Email [email protected] with the course you took, and we’ll check your upgrade eligibility.
Can I share my seat or bring my team?
Your Fellowship is personal, so each person needs their own seat. For a whole team, we run private workshops built around your stack. Email [email protected] and we’ll set it up.
A year inside the frontier
starts here.
Early Bird closes when 100 seats fill. Once gone, no extensions.
