How a cohort runs

  1. Every week, one live build. A 120-minute session on Zoom where you build the next piece of your own system with me in the room.
  2. Between sessions, about two hours. Short exercises and async work on your build, so the next session starts from something real.
  3. At the end, a system that runs. Connected to your tools, working on a schedule, and yours to keep.

Questions

Questions people ask before they join.

What is the best way for a non-technical founder to learn to build with AI?

Build one real system with someone who has built many. In the Claude Code Builder cohort you start from a blank folder and, after 6 live sessions, leave with a working AI system for your own business. No code required. If a group does not suit you, private lessons are $197 a class.

How much does live AI training with Dheeraj Sharma cost?

The Claude Code Builder cohort is $1,597 for 6 live sessions of 120 minutes. One-on-one starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. Private AI lessons are $197 a class, Your AI Automation Roadmap is $497, and the three-session build is $1,997.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The cohort, the private lessons and the roadmap are built for people who do not write code. For the cohort you need a laptop and an active Claude Pro or Claude Max subscription. The three-session build is the one exception: it is for people who already use Claude Code.

Should I join a cohort or work with Dheeraj one-on-one?

Join a cohort if you want structure, a fixed schedule and a room of people building alongside you. Choose one-on-one if you want help on your own project at your own pace, a written plan for your business, or a system built with you. Not sure? The 30-minute discovery call is free.

Can you train my team?

Yes. Dheeraj runs private Claude Code workshops for companies, planned on a free call. A cohort for tech teams, Spec-Driven Development with BMAD for Tech Teams, is coming soon and has a waitlist.

Is the training live or self-paced?

Live. Every cohort session is taught live by Dheeraj on Zoom through Maven, and every one-on-one session is a live call. Between cohort sessions you spend about two hours a week on exercises and on your own build.

What happens if the cohort is not right for me?

Attend Session 1. If you do not leave with clarity on your build and confidence the cohort fits, you get a full refund, no questions asked. Maven’s own satisfaction guarantee applies too.

Is there in-person AI training?

Yes. AI Foundations runs in person in North Wales, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, as well as live online on Maven. It teaches people to put AI to work in their business with no coding. The next cohort has a waitlist.

What will I have at the end of the Claude Code Builder cohort?

A working AI system for your own work. You connect it to real tools such as Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, Calendar through MCP servers, build agents that work together, and set it running on a schedule. It stays yours after the cohort ends.

Who teaches the academy?

Dheeraj Sharma, an AI systems builder with 20 years in enterprise software. He runs his own business on an AI system he built with Claude Code, teaches an audience of 18K+ across YouTube, Substack, LinkedIn and Maven, and writes a Substack Bestseller newsletter.
