Secure AI Business Builder Community · Founding Cycle

Stop Reading About AI. Start Shipping With It. Every Month.

Join an ongoing community of builders, not a one-time class. Work hands-on in your own developer lab with a starter workspace and guided tutorials — get fluent in Claude Code, use starter kits to build and ship real things, integrate tools like Linear into your workflow, and learn to build and secure your own skills and agents. Then keep building every month, with feedback from a trusted circle of other builders — taught by 25 years of enterprise cybersecurity experience, not a slide deck.

📅 Founding Cycle Kickoff: Oct 10, 2026 🔒 Lock In Founding Pricing 🔁 Monthly Build & Show & Tell

Most AI Content Is Talk.
This Is a Developer Lab.

Threads and tutorials show you screenshots. They don't put you in a real starter workspace, working hands-on with Claude Code, shipping something that's actually yours. And almost none of them teach you what happens when the agent you built leaks a secret, gets prompt-injected, or ships a vulnerability straight to production. This community closes both gaps — real hands-on building, and the security instincts most AI builders never develop — so you walk away with working skill, not just notes.

Built for Builders, Not Bystanders

You don't need to be a security professional. You need to be done watching from the sidelines.

🚀

The Aspiring Founder

You're building an AI feature into your product and you don't want a security incident to be your launch story.

💼

The Business Owner Already Using AI

You've adopted the tools but have no idea what you've exposed. Time to close the gap between usage and understanding.

🛠️

The Builder Who Wants Proof

You want a working agent and real documentation you can show an employer or client — not another certificate that means nothing.

🔒

The Security Professional

You already know the theory. You want to learn to build secure AI agents the only way that sticks — by building one and then attacking it yourself.

Not Notes. A Working System.

By Demo Day, you'll have shipped something real — and the documentation to prove it.

✓ Real, hands-on fluency with Claude Code in your own developer lab and starter workspace
✓ A working, secured AI agent live in your own GitHub repo
✓ Starter kits you'll reuse to build other things long after each cycle
✓ Real tool integrations into your workflow — including Linear for project management
✓ The skills to build your own custom skills and agents — and how to secure them
✓ Real AWS sandbox experience — Terraform, secrets management, cost monitoring
✓ Hands-on OWASP Top 10 for LLMs — applied to code you wrote, not slides
✓ A completed threat model and red-team exercise against your own agent
✓ Security architecture docs + a one-page Security Case Study you can show an employer or client
✓ Ongoing community access — new build pathways and monthly Show & Tell, not a one-time class
✓ A live Demo Day presentation of what you built

Three Weeks. Real Output Each Step.

All course content is available from day one — Week 1, 2, and 3 are the recommended path through it, with quickstart guides to get you to a working product fast. The goal is building fast and learning by doing: real sample use cases and labs, not lectures. Click a week to see what's inside.

WEEK 1

Foundations, Your Developer Lab & Your First Agent

✕
  • AI literacy: prompting, agents, LLMs vs SLMs, public vs private models
  • Get hands-on with Claude Code inside your own starter workspace, guided tutorial by tutorial
  • Secrets management deep dive — storage, rotation, monitoring, protection
  • Secure prompting and prompt injection defense basics
  • One-click Terraform sandbox on your own AWS account, with cost monitoring built in
  • Build a working AI agent with tools & memory
  • Set up your reusable prompt library, IDE, and GitHub repo
WEEK 2

Build, Integrate & Red Team Your Own Agent

✕
  • Choose and build a practical agent: Agent Risk Calculator or Ticket Analyzer
  • Build your own custom Claude Code skills and agents from a starter kit
  • Integrate real tools into your workflow — including Linear for project management
  • Threat model your own agent before anyone else touches it
  • OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, applied — prompt injection, data poisoning, insecure output handling
  • Intentionally attack your own agent, then apply the fixes
  • Observability and logging basics so you can see what actually happened
WEEK 3

Polish, Record & Show It Off

✕
  • Finalize and polish whatever you built — an agent, a business use case, or both
  • Record a short demo or highlight video showing what you built and how it works
  • Write a one-page case study you can show employers or clients
  • Live Demo Day — show and tell: present your build to the cohort
  • Community Q&A and feedback on what you shipped
  • Safe teardown of your AWS sandbox once you're done showing it off

The Format

📅

Live + Async

Weekly live build sessions with the cohort, plus async work time in between.

👥

Small Cohort

🧰

Your Stack

Your own AWS sandbox (Terraform provided), GitHub, and Claude Code or the AI tool of your choice.

Taught by Someone Who's Actually Done It

👽

Jared Little

Founder, Alien Brain Trust · 25+ Years Enterprise Cybersecurity & IAM

Jared has spent 25+ years in enterprise cybersecurity, identity, and privileged access management at a large financial institution in a heavily regulated industry, leading technology transformation from the inside. This bootcamp is built on one hard-won insight: you cannot develop AI threat intuition from a certification or a whitepaper. You develop it by building real integrations, attacking them in a controlled environment, and seeing exactly what breaks. That's what you'll do here.

Before You Reserve a Seat

Do I need to know how to code?

✕
Basic comfort in a terminal helps, but you don't need to be a software engineer. If you can follow instructions and aren't afraid to break things on purpose, you're ready.

What if I can't make the live sessions?

✕
Sessions are recorded, but this bootcamp is built around building in real time with the group. There are 5 live sessions total — 3 Saturdays at 9:00 AM ET and 2 Wednesday evenings at 9:00 PM ET (see the schedule in the Format section above) — so check those against your calendar before you enroll. Plan to attend live if you can — that's where most of the value happens.

What will the AWS sandbox cost me?

✕
You'll spin up your own small sandbox using the Terraform config we provide. Cost monitoring and alerts are part of Week 1 setup, so nothing surprises you.

What if I'm not done by Demo Day?

✕
This is your project, your repo, your timeline. Demo Day is a milestone, not a deadline — you keep everything and keep building after the bootcamp ends.

I'm a recent cybersecurity grad — is there a discount?

✕
We offer a small number of Recent Grad Scholarships (50% off the 3-month tier, so $250) for cybersecurity grads within the last 2 years — funded directly by Jared, not a discount code. Email info@alienbraintrust.ai and tell us a bit about yourself and why you want in before you check out.

I still have questions — can I ask before I enroll?

✕
Always. Email info@alienbraintrust.ai before you reserve a seat and we'll talk it through first.
