Why this price will not come back

Founder's pricing is a one-time, one-cohort decision.

The first cohort gets the founder. Async critiques, live Demo Day, direct input on your Signature AI Helper build. That level of access does not scale. After 15 seats fill, the 14-day Launch Promo and evergreen Standard run on quarterly group calls only.

About the founder

Built by a systems person. For agency operators.

Vladimir Gundorin, founder of Simplify AI Academy
Vladimir Gundorin
Founder, Simplify AI Academy

Every AI course aimed at agencies was built for people who wanted to start a new AI agency from scratch. Nothing existed for owners who already had clients, a team, and real delivery work, and just needed their time back.

My background is systems. For years my job was taking processes that depended on the smartest or most senior person in the room and turning them into workflows that ran without them. When AI became practical, I watched agency owners collect prompts, get occasional wins, and then go right back to personally writing every proposal, recap, and status update. The problem was not capability. It was the absence of a repeatable system.

We install the AI operating system your agency should already have.

What you get from me, specifically

  • A weekly Loom critique on your real work, returned within 4 days. About 6 to 10 minutes per submission.
  • A direct feedback thread for your Signature AI Helper build. You can ask for input outside the Loom cycle.
  • Live Demo Day, where I review every student presentation in real time and give targeted next-step feedback.
  • 24 months of access to me through course updates, new lesson drops, and add-on releases.

I am not a coach. I do not sell a "lifestyle." I build systems that install once and run on rails you trust.

Credentials: 10+ years in systems and workflow automation. Master's in IT Management. AWS & CompTIA certified. Former IT Systems Analyst.

Founder's Cohort questions

Asked, honestly.

How many seats are left?

15 hard cap, first cohort only. We do not fudge the cap. When 15 sells out, the next opening is Launch Promo at $1,197.

Why no payment plans?

Not at launch. We may add payment plans later, but Founder's Cohort will not be retroactively re-priced. The current $797 is a single decision: this cohort, this price, first run only.

What is the Fast Action Bonus, exactly?

Five pre-built AI Helpers, one per pressure point: delivery, pricing, team, numbers, growth. Each one is loaded with the Prompt Recipe, voice calibration, and the right Lab starter prompts for your top pressure point. You get the one matched to your answer, delivered to your inbox within 48 hours of joining the waitlist.

What are the async video critiques?

Four weekly cycles. You ship a 3 to 5 minute Loom every Sunday by 23:59 ET showing what you built that week, what is blocking you, and what you want feedback on. The founder returns a Loom critique by Wednesday. About 6 to 10 minutes of feedback per submission, on average. Recorded, saved to your cohort thread, and searchable. Async submission, founder review on Loom, no calendar coordination required.

What is Demo Day?

Day 30, 60-minute live call, 12pm ET. Every student presents their Signature AI Helper in 3 minutes. Recorded. Every recording becomes a testimonial asset by default if the student opts in. This is the only synchronous moment in the entire program.

I am in APAC. Can I still join?

Yes. The async format works on your own time. You submit Looms when it suits you, you receive critiques on the standard cadence. Demo Day at 12pm ET is the only live moment, and it is recorded if you cannot attend.

Can I refund Founder's Cohort?

Yes. Same Install Guarantee applies. Days 1 to 7 unconditional. Days 8 to 30 conditional on completed Labs and a logged Time Saved Tracker.

15 seats. $797. First run only.

Get on the waitlist. 48-hour head start. Path-specific Claude Project bonus. Then the seats fill and the price moves.
