FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a job placement guarantee?

No. We do not promise employment. We do open our network for warm introductions when there is a real fit.

What is the time commitment?

Plan for ~12 hours a week. Sprints are deliberate and reviewable; we do not optimize for screen time.

Do I need to leave my current job?

No. The cohort is structured so working professionals can ship alongside their day role.

Is this remote?

Yes - fully async-friendly with weekly live reviews on a fixed cadence.
