The Unusual Academy is a hands-on learning program where select founders learn how to level up as leaders. Over the course of seven half-day sessions in the Bay Area you’ll receive tactical advice for overcoming the most difficult early stage obstacles. You may also be eligible to receive a meaningful investment of capital (up to $1M).
At the Unusual Academy, you’ll have the unique opportunity to learn from the best in the industry. We’ve identified the most difficult challenges early entrepreneurs have to face, then found the perfect Master Practitioner to teach you the process they followed.
Real learning comes through personal experience and tailored feedback from people who have been down the startup path before. Our hands-on workshop will empower you to reach your full potential using a “See one, Do one, Teach one” format.

The program has a killer trifecta that helped me apply leading knowledge to my business: in depth pre-work, intimate groups, and 1:1s with the industry's best.
The Unusual Academy was unlike any other startup program I've been in. The program has a killer trifecta that helped me apply leading knowledge to my business: in depth pre-work, intimate groups, and 1:1s with the industry's best. I looked forward to the Academy as I knew it'd push my thinking in ways I didn't know of yet.
Scaling the understanding of the core principles across our team was invaluable to me as a second-time founder.
As a second time founder, I thought that everyone had a shared and common understanding of the core principles that were taught and reiterated in the program. I learned going through the program that MY experience the first time around was totally different than my team's. Scaling the understanding of the core principles across our team was invaluable to me this fall. It has changed the habits of AppLand for the better. Thank you to you and the team for this program and for allowing me to open it up to the broader AppLand leadership team.
