The Core Path · your 60-day spine

270 lessons of depth. One 33-lesson path through it.

The library is deep, 270 lessons across 6 tracks and 33 courses, but you don't march through all of it. 60-Day Founder hands you a guided 33-lesson Core Path: the critical line from raw idea to investor-ready proof. The rest is there when a specific build step needs it, surfaced by the coach exactly when it's relevant.

→Guided, not exhaustive, 33 lessons in sequence, each one unlocking the next build step.
→Phase-aware, Ideation & Validation → MVP → Traction → Pitch & Raise, mapped to your 60 days.
→Depth on demand, the full 33-course library backs every step when you need to go deeper.
→Trilingual, the full curriculum and its companion book in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The 60-Day Founder academy library: six tracks and thirty-three courses across 270 lessons, with the Foundations of AI-Driven Entrepreneurship track expanded to show courses such as Technical Foundations for Entrepreneurs, Context Engineering and the TACOMORE Framework, and Talk to Users: Evidence from Conversations, each with its lesson count

Lessons · framework → build → artifact

Every lesson moves your startup forward, not just your notes.

This isn't passive reading. Each lesson is paired with a build step you run in your own context, and the work flows straight into your evidence chain. You don't just learn validation; you leave with a scored validation artifact. The book is the map; the academy is where you actually run it.

The evidence chain · 8 workshops → 12 artifacts

Proof you built, scored at every link.

Eight guided build workshops produce twelve versioned artifacts, from idea brief through traction and pitch. Each one is scored, so the chain isn't a folder of documents; it's a measurable trail of real work an investor can follow.

The 60-Day Founder build workshops hub: eight guided builders, each teaching one framework and saving an investor-respectable artifact to the Knowledge Vault, including Idea Validation Sprint with the Evidence Chain, Market Research Sprint, MVP Architecture with Platform-vs-Product, and Cost Architecture with the Six-Layer Cost Architecture

Grounded build coach

Specific, buildable next steps. Never boilerplate.

The coach isn't a chatbot that hands back generic advice. It reads your current data, recent lessons, your phase, the artifacts in your evidence chain, and pairs it with live research, then returns the next concrete step for your startup.

Stuck on validation? It points at the exact interviews you've logged and what's missing. Drafting an MVP scope? It grounds the suggestion in your idea brief, not a template. Each answer moves a real artifact forward.

Example coach reply

"You've logged 6 problem interviews but only 2 name a budget owner, that's the gap your validation artifact will get dinged on. Spend 30 minutes confirming who signs off before you move to MVP scope."

startup-academy.soloframehub.com/coach

The 60-Day Founder build coach answering a founder's question grounded in their real data: it cites the idea's 45 out of 100 score and the 0 of 25 evidence-quality gap, the 12 discovery calls logged this month, and the three design-partner agencies, then prescribes a concierge-MVP Evidence Sprint instead of generic advice

VC pitch simulator · signature feature

Pitch a VC who won't let you bluff.

Meet Dana Reyes, an evidence-demanding VC seeded with your proof package. She doesn't just listen; she cross-checks every claim against your logged traction and the artifacts in your evidence chain, presses the gaps, and scores you 0-100.

Step 1

She's read your file

Dana is seeded with your proof package, idea brief, validation log, traction metrics. She walks in already knowing what you've claimed.

Step 2

She checks your claims

Say "strong retention" and she asks for the number, then checks it against your logged data. Claims your evidence doesn't support get caught.

Step 3

She scores you 0-100

A score report with the gaps that cost you points and exactly what to strengthen before you pitch a real partner.

Live cross-check

"We've got really strong early retention."

Dana Reyes · VC

"Define strong. Your traction artifact logs 38% week-4 retention on 21 users, that's a signal, not a moat, and 21 is thin. Don't tell me strong; show me the curve and the cohort size. That's the difference between a seed conversation and a polite no."

Because Dana scores against your own logged numbers, founders stay honest about what they've actually built, and walk into the real room already having survived the hard questions.

Evidence Vault

Every version of your proof, in one place.

As you work, each artifact and its score lands in the Evidence Vault. It's the single source of truth the rest of the product reads from, the coach grounds answers in it, the VC sim cross-checks against it, and your certification is built on it.

Nothing you build evaporates between sessions. The Vault is what makes your sixty days compound, draft #3 of your pitch draws on the traction you logged in week two, and your Day-60 retrospective reads the whole arc back to you.

Measure → Refine · outcomes dashboard

Your readiness, tracked, not guessed.

Because you do the work on-platform, telemetry comes free. The live outcomes dashboard tracks artifact scores, evidence-gate progress, and your VC pitch trajectory across the sixty days, so "am I getting fundable?" stops being a feeling and becomes a number you can move.

A weekly update ritual keeps the signal fresh, and the Day-60 retrospective reads the whole arc back to you. Those outcomes feed the coach, so its next nudge is sharper than its last.

Light accountability pods

Build alone, but not by yourself.

Optional pods of up to six founders give you a weekly accountability rhythm, small enough that you're seen, light enough that it never becomes another job. Pair it with the weekly update ritual and momentum stops being a willpower problem.

≤6

Small by design

A pod caps at six founders so every member's progress is visible and the weekly check-in stays personal, not performative.

Weekly

A steady cadence

One weekly accountability beat, what you shipped, what's in the way, what's next, tied to where you are in the 60 days.

Opt-in

Proof, in public

Choose to publish a /proof/[slug] page that shows the evidence behind your build, accountability that travels with you.

Verifiable certification

A credential backed by what you built.

Most certificates prove you watched the videos. This one proves you built the thing. Earn it by clearing the 8 evidence gates at ≥70 and completing the Core Path, and on award it becomes a public, verifiable credential at a /verify/[slug] page anyone can check.

Not a PDF nobody trusts. Your assessments, your scored artifacts, and your evidence chain are the proof behind it, and you can opt in to a public /proof/[slug] page that shows the work.

Requirements

✓ Clear all 8 evidence gates · score ≥ 70 each
✓ Complete the 33-lesson Core Path
✓ Ship the 12-artifact evidence chain

The book + the academy

The book is the map. The academy is the trip.

60-Day Founder: A Builder's Guide to Production AI is the written backbone of the program, the same 60-day arc, in 13 chapters. The academy is where you run it: the build coach, the workshops, and the evidence chain turn each chapter into shipped, scored work.

Read the theory, then build the thing, in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. The author wrote it the only honest way: by building this platform with the very methodology the book teaches.

FAQ

Common questions

What is 60-Day Founder?+

60-Day Founder is an AI startup school that walks a first-time founder from a raw idea to investor-ready proof in 60 days. Instead of a 270-lesson march, it delivers a guided 33-lesson Core Path drawn from 270 lessons across 6 tracks and 33 courses. Along the way, 8 build workshops produce 12 versioned artifacts that add up to a scored evidence chain, and a grounded build coach turns each lesson into a specific, buildable next step in your own context.

What is the evidence chain?+

The evidence chain is the 12 versioned artifacts your 8 build workshops produce, from idea brief and validation through MVP, traction, and pitch. Each artifact is scored, so the chain is a measurable trail of real work rather than a folder of documents. It is the proof the VC pitch simulator cross-checks and the basis of your certification.

How does the VC pitch simulator work?+

You pitch 'Dana Reyes', an evidence-demanding VC seeded with your proof package. She does not just listen, she cross-checks your claims against your logged traction and the artifacts in your evidence chain, presses on the gaps, and scores the pitch 0-100. Claim traction your data does not support and the score reflects it, which keeps founders honest about what they have actually built.

Is the certification verifiable?+

Yes. The certification is earned by clearing the 8 evidence gates at a score of 70 or higher and completing the Core Path. On award, it becomes a public, verifiable credential at a /verify/[slug] page anyone can check, not a PDF nobody trusts. Founders can also opt in to a public /proof/[slug] page that shows the work behind it.

How does the build coach work?+

The build coach is grounded, not generic. It reads your current data, recent lessons, your phase, and the artifacts you have produced, and pairs it with live research, then returns specific, buildable next steps for your startup. It helps you turn each framework into real work in the evidence chain rather than handing back boilerplate advice.

How much does 60-Day Founder cost?+

60-Day Founder starts with a 7-day free trial and no credit card. After that it is $29/month (Starter) or $79/month (Pro), or $232/$632 per year. There is no free tier. Platform AI is included with no per-message markup; you bring your own keys only for third-party integrations you already pay for.
