MakerSquare graduates aren't just people who took a course. They shipped real AI products, demoed live in front of Austin's tech community, and went back to their industries with a skill most of their peers don't have yet.
Graduation isn't the end. MakerSquare alumni stay connected to each other, to the Austin tech community, and to everything being built in future cohorts.
Permanent access to the MakerSquare alumni network — builders across every cohort, sharing what they're shipping, answering each other's questions, and finding collaborators.
Priority invites to every future Demo Day. Watch what each new cohort builds, stay current on what's possible with AI, and keep showing up in the room where Austin's builders and investors gather.
When someone asks "who built your AI tool?" — the answer leads back to MakerSquare. Alumni refer each other for consulting work, collaborations, and hiring. The cohort becomes a permanent professional network.
A certificate of completion shareable directly to LinkedIn. More importantly, you have 3 live deployed AI products — a stronger signal than any credential.
Curriculum updates as tools change, monthly live sessions, job board access, and peer review. Cancel anytime. First month free after graduation. See details →
Alumni can drop into future cohort office hours on Saturdays. When you're building something new six months later and hit a wall, the instructors and the room are still available to you.
Most alumni return to their jobs and immediately start deploying AI tools to the problems they know best. The 2 weeks of hands-on building gives them the confidence and the vocabulary to execute — not just propose.
For founders, the capstone product often becomes the foundation of their company. With a working product, a Demo Day presentation, and a network in the room — many Cohort 1 builders come in with an idea and leave with a prototype live at a URL.
Many alumni go back as the person who can actually build — not just supervise a vendor or evaluate a tool. That shift in positioning — from buyer of AI to builder of AI — changes how their colleagues and leadership see them.
Demo Day is the introduction, not the end. Alumni maintain lifetime access to the MakerSquare Slack and stay connected to the Austin investor and operator community that showed up to watch them build.
The alumni Slack is where builders share what they're shipping next, ask technical questions, and find collaborators across cohorts. The skills don't stop at 3 products — they compound.
Everyone is talking about AI. Almost no one outside of engineering can demonstrate 3 live deployed products. The people who can build are in a different conversation than the people who can't.
