CrowdSmith
FOUNDING COHORT · 2026
The SmithTalk Founding Fellowship

Twenty seats. Eight sessions. A skill nobody can take from you.

Learn to work with AI the way CrowdSmith itself was built — by talking with it, thinking with it, and making real things with it. Private sessions with the founder. No tech background needed. When these twenty seats are gone, the founding cohort closes for good.

What a Founding Fellow gets

  • Eight private sessions with founder Robb Deignan, one-on-one over video call, scheduled around your life.
  • A real project. You bring a problem from your own work or life — a business, a resume, a thing you want to build — and you leave with the built answer.
  • The method itself. SmithTalk is how CrowdSmith was built: 124+ documented working sessions between one person and an AI. You learn to drive, not to watch.
  • Founding-cohort status. Your name stands first in CrowdSmith's record, permanently. The people who went first don't get forgotten.

How it works

Step one

Take a seat

Pay for the eight-pack, or try a single session first. Payment is handled by Zeffy, the payment platform for nonprofits.

Step two

Pick your times

You get a scheduling link the same day. Sessions run on video call, daytime or evening, at your pace.

Step three

Build something

First session, we pick your project. Eighth session, it exists — and so does a skill you keep for life.

Who's teaching

Robb Deignan spent twenty years in the fitness industry helping more than ten thousand people start something they were nervous to start. Then he spent three years doing the thing he now teaches: building an entire organization — legal structure, curriculum, campaigns, the works — in sustained working partnership with AI, one documented session at a time.

He's not a computer guy. That's the point. If you can hold a conversation, you can do this.
