AI changed what one person can build. Sprint is how you learn.

Volta Sprint is a 4-week intensive where you develop a real AI building practice -- not through lectures or theory, but by shipping a working project with a small cohort and an experienced builder in your corner.

The workforce is splitting in two:
those who build with AI, and those who don't.

The tools exist. The jobs are changing. The only question is whether you develop the capability now or play catch-up later.

85%

of employers now hire for demonstrated skills, not degrees. What you can build matters more than what you studied.

65%

of professionals are actively reskilling right now -- investing real time and money to stay ahead of the shift.

170M

new jobs will be created by 2030, most requiring skills that didn't exist five years ago. Readiness is the differentiator.

Three kinds of builders.
One shared practice.

Sprint is for the early adopters -- people who've seen what AI can do and are ready to develop the capability to use it. You don't need to be technical. You need to be motivated and willing to commit 10 hours a week.

The Organizational Builder

Become the AI capability inside your company

You see what AI could do for your team, but you're doing it alone -- no clear path to develop skills, no peers who get it, no way to prove value to leadership. Sprint gives you the practice, the framework, and a network of people solving the same problems in other organizations.

You leave with: a working solution for your org, validated skills, and language leadership understands.

The Independent Builder

Build a practice, not just a portfolio

You're a consultant, freelancer, or aspiring independent who wants to build a business around AI. You have the skills but need deal flow, peers to benchmark against, and a portfolio of real projects. Sprint gives you a shipped project, a repeatable methodology, and connections to potential clients and collaborators.

You leave with: a portfolio piece, a client-ready process, and a network that opens doors.

The Startup Founder

Go from idea to working prototype, fast

You have an idea for an AI-powered product or service and need to move from concept to something people can use. You don't need a full engineering team -- you need 4 weeks of focused building with the right support. Sprint is the fastest path to a prototype you can put in front of customers.

You leave with: a deployed prototype, early feedback, and a path into Volta's startup ecosystem.

Practice, not theory.
Coaching, not lectures.

Each Sprint is led by an experienced Lead Builder who curates the cohort and runs the weekly rhythm. You don't come to learn concepts -- you come to work through the problems you hit when you tried to apply them.

Before Day 1: Fit & Setup

Short interview to match you with the right cohort and skill level. Pre-work checklist gets your tools ready so Week 1 is about building, not configuration.

Weekly 2-Hour Build Sessions

Progress demos. Micro-lessons on common blockers. Guided build time where you get unstuck and move forward. Modeled on athletic training: show up, do the reps, get coached.

Independent Build Time (~8 hrs/wk)

Put in the reps between sessions. Your Lead Builder is available for office hours when you hit real dead ends. Your cohort is there when you need a second opinion.

Week 4: Ship & Demo

Deploy your working project. Demo it to your cohort and invited guests. Walk away with something real -- and the capability to do it again.

Not a course. Not a bootcamp.
A practice arena.

Outcome-Bound

Every Sprint ends with a specific deliverable -- a deployed app, a produced video, a working automation. The constraint is the point. You ship, or you don't.

Small & Curated

5-10 people, matched for skill level and ambition. Not a lecture hall. A working group where everyone is building, everyone is accountable, and the coach knows your project.

Domain-Flexible

Web apps, AI video, automation, mobile -- the discipline changes but the format stays the same. Build the specific capability you need, in the domain that matters to you.

Network-Compounding

Every completed Sprint adds builders to Volta's network. Alumni cross-pollinate across future Sprints and projects. Over time, you're not just skilled -- you're connected.

Not just a project.
A building practice.
