The Atelier
by The New Internet Studio
A small four-week residency for founders, creatives, and thinkers building meaningful work in the age of AI.
Over the past year, the work I’ve been developing around AI, culture, identity, authorship, and the future of human systems has evolved into something broader than a traditional accelerator.
The Atelier is the next evolution of that work.
Part strategic residency, part intellectual studio, The Atelier is designed for a small group of individuals navigating what it means to build, create, position, and evolve thoughtfully in an increasingly algorithmic world.
Unlike mass-scale online course or traditional startup programs I’ve designed my Atelier to be an intimate working environment for people who are actively shaping ideas, companies, media, creative projects, research, and new forms of meaningful work in the AI era.
Each cohort is intentionally small and highly curated.

What’s Included
-
Each participant receives direct strategic guidance through weekly 1:1 sessions focused on positioning, systems thinking, business models, narrative, implementation, and long-term vision.
-
A private live dinner-style discussion each week centered around themes shaping the future of technology, culture, authorship, creativity, and human identity. Chef prepared meal included and delivered to your door weekly.
-
Participants receive weekly exercises, implementation support, and a personalized curriculum designed to help clarify direction, sharpen positioning, and accelerate thoughtful execution.
-
Participants receive access to select in-person salons and gatherings hosted through The New Internet Studio in select cities.
-
Each cohort is intentionally limited in size to foster depth, trust, collaboration, and meaningful dialogue.
Before the Atelier begins, each participant will take part in a private kickoff conversation designed to better understand where they currently are, what they are building toward, and the challenges, questions, or transitions they are navigating.Rather than following a rigid pre-recorded curriculum, each Atelier cohort is shaped dynamically around the needs, goals, and trajectories of the individuals within the room. This allows the experience to remain highly personalized, relevant, and responsive to the evolving realities of building meaningful work in the AI era.
Who This Is For
The Atelier is designed for thoughtful founders, creatives, strategists, technologists, writers, operators, researchers, and interdisciplinary thinkers navigating how AI is reshaping work, identity, creativity, media, authorship, and human connection.
Ideal participants are not simply looking to learn AI tools. They are seeking a more thoughtful framework for building meaningful work, refining their positioning, expanding their thinking, and adapting intelligently to a rapidly changing technological and cultural landscape while building their business.
Participants may be building companies, media brands, creative projects, research initiatives, intellectual property, or entirely new ways of working and creating in the AI era.
