AI FOUNDERS LAB

A 90-Day Implementation Mastermind Limited to 10 Founders

Everything in Self-Paced. A 90-day mastermind built for operators who already have the results — but whose brand, website, and lead systems haven't caught up. Over 12 weeks, Fleet Maull rebuilds his own brand infrastructure live, directing a 50-agent AI team alongside Austin Mao, while you build yours next to him. No coding. No waiting on an agency. Just the work, shipped weekly.

  • Direct a real 50-agent AI team to build your own brand, website, and lead system — not a case study, your business
  • Watch Fleet rebuild his own 40-year brand live, then build yours next to him, session by session
  • Weekly hands-on feedback from Fleet and Austin on your actual brand, site, and systems
  • Walk away with a finished, live website at your own domain and a working lead-capture system already running
  • $85,000+ in retail value delivered across 12 weeks, plus a year of HeartMind Professional membership

The Operator Trap

Most founders hit the same wall: the business cannot grow past what they can personally hold together. Six signs you are in the operator trap:

01

Burnout & Overwhelm

You're the default answer to every question in the business, working 60+ hour weeks with no ceiling in sight.

02

Growth Plateau

Revenue has stalled at the limit of what you can personally manage and supervise.

03

Team Challenges

Hiring, delegation, and systems haven't kept pace — so growth still runs through you.

04

Decision Fatigue

Strategic and operational decisions both land on your desk, and the volume is wearing down your judgment.

05

Work-Life Imbalance

The business is consuming the time your health and relationships need.

06

AI & Technology Gap

You know AI could change how the business runs, but there's no clear path to implementing it.

Fleet Maull

As founder, I was serving as COO, CMO, CFO, and content creator — burning out and strangling growth, until I built the team and the systems that let me become an actual CEO.

— Dr. Fleet Maull, 2024 Inc. 5000 #578 Founder-CEO

Difference

Why This Accelerator Is Different

01

Built by operators, not academics.

You'll learn from 30+ founders, CEOs and subject-matter experts who built what they teach.

02

Business mastery and self-mastery, together.

Scaling a business and managing yourself under pressure are the same skill. The curriculum treats them that way.

03

A compressed timeline.

The coached tier condenses years of trial-and-error into a structured 3-month cohort.

04

Priced against outcomes, not prestige.

You're paying for applied strategy, not a credential.

05

Applied to your business, not a case study.

Every module is worked against your actual business, with structured feedback from peers and instructors.

06

A peer accountability cohort.

You build alongside other founders working through the same structural problems, in the same window of time.

07

A durable network.

Relationships built in the cohort and with faculty extend past the program.

08

Built for the whole picture.

The curriculum treats health, relationships, and decision capacity as part of the business outcome.

09

No filler.

Every module maps to something you'll use in the business this quarter.

10

Frameworks in active use.

The tactics and systems taught are the ones faculty are currently running in their own companies.

Faculty Who've Made the Operator-to-CEO Transition Themselves

You're Solving the Same Problem as Everyone Else in the Cohort

Work through shared challenges with founders at a similar stage.

Tactics from operators who've built and scaled at this level.

The kind of introductions that lead to real partnerships and deals.

Some questions

Common
questions

A structured alternative to a traditional business program, built for operators already running a company. Choose a self-paced track, a 3-month coached cohort, or the AI Founders Lab — a 90-day implementation mastermind — all built on the same core curriculum, taught by 30+ founders, CEOs and subject-matter experts who've made the transition themselves.

Yes — it's applied, not theoretical. You'll work through proven approaches to revenue growth, sustainable scaling, and building a business that runs on systems instead of your constant involvement.

A traditional program can run $100K+ over two years and is largely academic. This Accelerator is applied, faster, and taught by operators who've built what they teach — with direct access to faculty and a peer cohort working the same problems.

Self-Paced ($997): the full curriculum, on your own schedule, no live component. Coached ($2,997): everything in Self-Paced, plus a 3-month live cohort with weekly calls, structured feedback, and a peer accountability group. AI Founders Lab ($10,000, 10 seats, application required): a 90-day implementation mastermind with Fleet Maull and Austin Mao, where your brand, website, and lead system ship before you graduate.

Self-Paced: no deadlines — move at your own pace. Coached: plan for 1–2 hours per day across the 3-month cohort. AI Founders Lab: two live sessions per week across the 90-day mastermind.

Self-Paced includes the full recorded curriculum. Coached adds live group sessions, structured Q&A, and peer accountability calls. AI Founders Lab is fully live, with weekly implementation sessions and office hours.

Even better — most participants are experienced founders or executives looking to close a specific gap, sharpen judgment, and learn from operators further along. The curriculum meets you at your current stage rather than starting from zero.

Yes. Most participants expense it as professional development. Documentation is available on request.

Yes — the program is fully online and accessible globally.

Yes — a verified Owner-Operator to CEO Accelerator certificate you can add to LinkedIn and your professional credentials.
