Our founder Studios provide a collaborative environment where accountability, peer mentorship, and networking thrive. We use proven coaching and documentation methods to help founders clarify goals, make progress, and identify blind spots and alternate paths. Operating for seven weeks at a time, our Startup Studio model provides maximum flexibility for founders to tackle their "next hardest step" — from product development and market alignment to operational processes and fundraising preparation. Depending on the individual circumstances of each project, our participants can “stack” cohorts to tackle broader, long-term challenges, or join for one cohort to address a specific challenge.

Econ Week: Who Gets Hired in the Age of AI? The Economics of Hiring—and How Students Can Compete

Gardner Commons 2900
Thursday, September 17, 2026, 3:30 – 4:30pm

Hiring is an economic problem: employers cannot observe what candidates can actually do, so they rely on signals—degrees, résumés, referrals, and interviews. AI is rewiring those signals on both sides of the market. This panel explores why hiring is so hard for firms, examines how AI is changing the ways employers identify talent, and explains how students can credibly signal their skills when a polished application no longer proves very much.

Doman Startup Studio 2B

Thursday, November 12, 2026, 10 – 11:30am

Our founder Studios provide a collaborative environment where accountability, peer mentorship, and networking thrive. We use proven coaching and documentation methods to help founders clarify goals, make progress, and identify blind spots and alternate paths. Operating for seven weeks at a time, our Startup Studio model provides maximum flexibility for founders to tackle their "next hardest step" — from product development and market alignment to operational processes and fundraising preparation. Depending on the individual circumstances of each project, our participants can “stack” cohorts to tackle broader, long-term challenges, or join for one cohort to address a specific challenge.

Participation in the Studio is application-based.

Visitors are welcome to observe the Studio- if you are interested in sitting in, please email us.
