Crossed 1,000 new students this year. LFG

We did more revenue in the first 5 months of 2025 than in all of 2023 & 2024 combined 🤯 Crazy how startups work

Just crossed a very important milestone. Certain numbers hit differently. Entrepreneurship is magical.

I expected June to be a bit slower because summer is approaching... but we've just had our best month ever: 🎓 400+ new students 🔥 $638k in monthly revenue 🎛️ 7 online events 🎉 2 in-person community meetups (SF and Riyadh!) 👀 Post-production completed on our upcoming course

Can't stop listening to Keith Jarrett these days

Just launched our new Prompt Engineering course 🥳🥳

I have two of the most important meetings of my life this week. Both of them from cold-emails. One of them after 6 follow-ups. You can just do things.

Our newest instructor, Adam Cheyer, sold his company Siri to Steve Jobs, and went on to work closely with him at Apple. Hearing Adam share untold stories about Steve was incredible. Such a privilege to bring content like this to Augment.

When you start a company, you need to pick one or two things you'll be totally unreasonable about. We picked production quality. We’ve spent ten times more than what would’ve been “reasonable” on our courses. We didn’t know exactly why... we just felt it would make us win

Filmed the world's best fundraising course with the legend Harry Stebbings Here's a trailer!

Building a startup in Paris means Vincent Cassel is shooting a movie in your building (watch till the end)

Business is a game where each month you try to beat the previous one. Smashing it this time

This is where I spent summer 2022

So we have a new competitor
