After Hours · Fall 2026 · Sept 15 – Oct 22

Small room. Real builds. Off the record.

You ship something real in six weeks. Not a deck. Not a prototype. A live product with real users and revenue. Eight founders, one evening a week, guided by someone who has done it. With a room that stays open long after the room ends.

WHAT THIS IS

Everyone here ships.

Every week we take apart one thing that decides whether a company lives or dies. I hand you the exact playbook I've used to build companies fast, you leave with the moves to make before we meet again, and you make them. Six weeks in, you are not learning to build. You have built. A real product, live, with people paying for it.

THREE ROOMS

Three rooms. Same ending.

Wherever you're starting from, you walk out with something real and working. The room only changes how you get there.

INCLUDED WITH EVERY SEAT

The Vault.

Everything I know, written down. Every member gets access from day one and keeps it after the six weeks end.

01

Processes

The full build, start to finish, with the tools, the prompts, and the dead ends.

02

Questions

Every real question a member has asked, answered once and kept.

03

Templates and swipe

The docs, prompts, emails and posts that actually worked, with the results.

04

The trusted list

The people and companies I use and would put my name behind, with what they charge.

05

Deals

Member rates on the tools and services in the trusted list.

06

Case studies

Teardowns of real work, with real numbers, including what went wrong.

The Vault gets bigger every room, and you keep access to all of it.

HOW YOU GET IN

How you get in.

Seats are by referral or invitation. That is not a marketing line, it is how the room stays worth being in. Here is exactly how it works, including what to do if nobody sent you.

01 / A REFERRAL

Someone in the room, or in my orbit, puts your name forward. Know a member? Ask them to refer you, and name them in your application.

02 / AN INVITATION

No referral? Apply and make your case. Tell me what you are building and why it is you. A strong case earns an invitation on its own. Most people without a connection get in this way.

03 / WE CHECK

Either way, we verify. Referrals get confirmed, applications get read, and for paid rooms I may talk to you first. That is why a seat here means something.

No cold checkout, no buy button. Everyone is either referred or invited, and everyone is checked. That is the whole point.

BY REFERRAL

A seat needs a referral or an invitation. We check references.

EIGHT SEATS

Eight per room. We do not expand to meet demand.

SIX WEEKS

You commit to all six. Miss two and you pick it up in the next cohort.

IT KEEPS GOING

The WhatsApp group never closes and the Vault keeps growing. You keep access to all of it, for good.

NO UPSELL

There is no bigger package behind this one. This is the thing.

OFF THE RECORD

Nothing said in the room is recorded or repeated. Not by me, not by anyone.

QUESTIONS

Before you apply.

Yes. A referral or an invitation is how most people get in, and I check references. But if you found this on your own and you are the real thing, apply anyway. I need to know you are good, and that you will actually do the build, not just show up.

Yes. Seats start at $597 for Room 01. Room 02 and Room 03 are higher because of what's in them — direct access, 1:1 time, and introductions. You're not charged anything to apply, and you'll know the exact number before you're asked to commit to anything.

The room stays open. The WhatsApp group never closes, the Vault keeps growing and you keep access to all of it, and everyone in the room stays as reachable as they want to be, me included. The six weeks end. The room does not.

For First Time, you need the intent to build and an idea to build. If you do not have your own idea yet but you know you want to build, email me at ken@rentmybrain.io. I run several ventures and I am always looking for cofounders. For Scale Up, you need something already running.

Yes, and you get the recordings. But the recording is a backup, not a substitute. The whole thing works because everyone is in the room live, and if you only ever catch the replay, the building gets hard. Come to the sessions.

Life happens, and one miss is fine. Miss two and you roll to the next room, because the room only works when the room is actually there. It is not a penalty, it is what keeps the eight seats worth something.

Because eight people means everyone gets the room to themselves twice in six weeks. Twenty people means nobody does. The smallness is the product, not a limit I am working around.

No. I don't take equity, I don't take credit, and I don't own any part of what you build. You pay for a seat, you keep everything that comes out of it.

Tell me in the application. I've made room before. I'd rather have the right person in the room at the wrong price than the wrong person at the right one.

Eight seats. Six weeks. Off the record.
