Monday I start building the AI Native team
The clock is ticking, join the team before Sunday
Cohort 2 of the AI Native Practitioner Programme kicks off August 17.
Sunday is the deadline to pick your role at the founding price. On Monday I start setting up the teams: after that you take whichever role is still open, and the price goes up to €590 Standard and €790 Leadership Track. Cohort 3 will list at €990.
Three people have joined. We could already start a cross-functional team. But I am looking for a few more people to have a 2 pizza team as we have at Amazon.
What it is:
Twelve weeks. A real AI native team. A real product taken from idea to a launch, following the Working Backwards method I used at Amazon, and everything bar raised by me and professional mentors. You pick your role. You finish with 12+ portfolio artefacts and ship a high quality product. If the team doesn’t make it in time, we run a COE (Correction of Error) and define the path to Go and Launch.
What AI native means:
It is not about which tools you use. Everyone has the tools now. It is about where you put your judgment. An AI-dependent team asks the model what to build, accepts what comes back, and ships it. An AI-native team decides what problem is worth solving, writes the spec before the code, hands execution to the agents, and reviews the output against a real bar. Agents execute. You think. The bar holds.
Testimonials from Cohort 1:
“Before joining the WonderLead program, I knew how to build projects, but I was more familiar with the way we create in startups. During the program we built the product from scratch. The turning point for me was learning how to approach problems the way they do at Amazon: focusing heavily on the customer pain point and working backwards from the client’s perspective. As a result, I learned techniques that work for me in the long run, like productization, AI, and communication methods.”
— Arturo Ortega, from Frontend Engineer to AI Engineer (see video here)
“For those who want to explore different roles while working toward a clear goal, this cohort provides an excellent training environment. It offers both guidance and a supportive space to experiment, practice, and grow. Most importantly, it enables you to turn your efforts into a tangible outcome, something real you can showcase at the end of the experience.”
— Li-Chieh Huang, from UX Designer to UX Researcher AI Augmented
Where this comes from:
At AWS I ran an AI literacy and adoption program across multiple organizations in Berlin. After nine months of getting engineers, designers and managers to actually change how they work, I identified what professionals in tech really need to successfully transition in this AI era.
Additionally, as part of the Design your Career WonderLead workshop, I met career transitioners and job seekers who followed WonderLead in Tech and asked how to break in. So I built this cohort to support their growth.
