Multi-Agent Orchestration

A practical agentic course: open separate AI chats, assign each agent a different task in the same repository, and coordinate their work. Learn to define responsibilities, share context, review changes, resolve conflicts, and bring the results together into a working deployment.

Teaching Statement

I teach entrepreneurship and technology through live venture challenges, practical implementation, reflection, and portfolio evidence. Students should leave with a working model of how technology choices shape growth, positioning, operations, risk, and future opportunity, not only a vocabulary of tools. I have hosted many workshops and Twitter Spaces, and I use that experience to keep sessions practical, interactive, and grounded in founder questions.

Method

Operator-led learning

Use real venture decisions, tech stacks, growth loops, and constraints as teaching material.

Method

Build and reflect

Students create audits, sprint demos, trend maps, and strategy documents, then explain tradeoffs.

Method

Portfolio evidence

Assessment rewards clear diagnosis, implementation logic, iteration, and responsible judgment.

Artifact 1: Tech Trend Radar Example

Use case: students map emerging technologies by maturity, entrepreneurial relevance, risk, and time horizon.

Act Now

AI agents for operations

Customer support, content repurposing, meeting prep, internal knowledge retrieval, and lead research.

Explore

Agentic commerce

x402-style payments, agent-readable services, API pricing, trust, and autonomous purchasing flows.

Watch

On-chain reputation

Portable proof, verifiable work histories, protocol-level trust, and new coordination surfaces.

Question

XR venture interfaces

High future potential, but unclear adoption, hardware timing, accessibility, and use-case density.

Student Task

Choose one weak signal, explain why it matters, place it on the radar, write one possible, probable, and preferable future, then identify one venture opportunity and one societal risk.

Artifact 2: Venture Tech Audit Template

Use case: students audit their own venture or project, then turn the audit into a 6-12 month tech-for-growth strategy.

Audit Area Guiding Questions Output
Customer Journey Where do customers discover, evaluate, buy, receive value, and return? Journey map with friction points.
Tech Stack Which tools, APIs, automations, data stores, and manual workarounds exist? Stack map and dependency list.
Growth System Which loops generate acquisition, activation, retention, referrals, or revenue? Growth loop diagnosis.
Automation Opportunity What repeatable process can be improved with AI, no-code, code, or integrations? MVP sprint proposal.
Risk and Ethics What privacy, bias, accessibility, sustainability, lock-in, or operational risks appear? Risk register and mitigation plan.

Artifact 3: MVP / Automation Sprint Brief

Use case: students implement one practical improvement in their venture, then present the result and strategic rationale.

  1. Diagnose: select one venture bottleneck that blocks growth, learning, or delivery.
  2. Design: choose a lightweight technical solution: API, automation, AI workflow, dashboard, or landing experiment.
  3. Build: create a working prototype, demo, process improvement, or tested workflow.
  4. Measure: define one meaningful metric and one qualitative signal.
  5. Reflect: explain what changed, what failed, and what the next 6-12 months should prioritize.
