Over 6 live sessions you build an OS you own outright. An AI that already knows your business: your offer, your customers, your pipeline. One department encoded end to end, working while you sleep. Taught live by Bennett: the same system that runs his two companies.

The problem
You’re using AI every day.So why is everything still on you?
“Me. I’m the bottleneck.” A real founder, on the form that filled Cohort 1. Hundreds wrote a version of the same thing.
Your documents live on four different computers. Your SOPs live in your head.
Your “AI workflow” is copy-pasting into ChatGPT.
Maybe you’ve gone further: Claude Code, a few projects, a tool or two connected. It worked. For a weekend.
Either way, there’s no system underneath it. It’s duct tape: half-built, half-working, held together by you.
You’re not running your business. You’re refreshing it.
You’re not bad at AI. You’re missing a system underneath it all, and the skill to run one. That’s what we build together.
The context.md moment
There’s a moment this clicks.For Cohort 1 it was minute fifteen.
A chat demo. You say: Read my world. Write my business down. Your AI answers: Got it. Four questions. It asks four questions and writes context.md as you answer: Offer: What do you sell, at what price, to whom? Customers: Which deals are live right now, and at what stage? Calendar: What does tomorrow actually look like? Judgment: How do you decide what’s worth your time? Then: Done. context.md knows your offer, your deals, your calendar, and how you decide. Now ask me something only someone who works with you would know.

The answer
Introducing The Founder OS.
If everything I’ve ever done compounds to one thing, it’s this. For two years I’ve been obsessed with one answer: how you set up your AI stack productively, efficiently, and future-proof.
So I built it for myself. Then I partnered with Heuresis to bring you 20 encoded tools, 5 encoded workspaces, and the entire architecture for how you build, manage, and run your own OS.
Picture 30 days from now.
Overnight
The OS works while you sleep. Every inbox read, the five messages that need you flagged, replies drafted in your voice.
7:00 AM
Your brief is waiting: everything that needs you today, lined up against your goals.
7:05 AM
Revenue is one glance. What came in, which deals moved, which one’s going cold.
9:00 AM
By 9am you’ve cleared what used to take till 6.
After that
The rest of the day goes to the work only you can do.
ABOUT ME
I didn’t design a course. I documented my system.
I’m Bennett. I’m 23, I run two companies, and this OS runs both of them. My first AI build sold for $5,000 right out of college. The education business collected $120K in 3 months. Everything you scrolled through above is my real system, running live.
Cohort 1 graduated on August 21. Around 25 founders built this with me, live, in their real businesses. One had his agent booking real client appointments before the cohort even ended. Their reviews are on this page. Real names, real companies.
Why not organize all the random clutter and BS out of your life? Running a business starts feeling fun again. This OS brought the joy back into operations for me, and even gamified it. It truly is the last thing I’ll ever have to build to run any of my businesses. Cohort 2 is me building it with you, start to finish.

The mechanism
You don’t just prompt AI.You build it an OS.
An OS is your whole business in one folder your AI runs. Without one, your AI is a clever chatbot that forgets everything. You build yours in four parts.
Give the AI your world. Everything about your business, encoded into one memory it reads before every task. You stop re-explaining yourself in every new chat.
Connect your whole stack. Ready-made tools that hold your data and plug into the apps you already use. Your whole stack, in one place you own.
Put them to work. Named AI workers that run real jobs across your tools, with honest run logs so you always see exactly what they did.
Teach it once. It runs forever. Turn the jobs that eat your day into repeatable skills on a schedule. The work happens while you sleep.
Master these four and you own the skill under every tool. Runtimes change; your OS is files, and files move with you. You’re never behind again.

THE CURRICULUM
Here’s exactly what we build together.
Six live sessions across a two-week sprint: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 PM ET, starting September 14. Every one is recorded, ends with something new running in your business, and finishes with live Q&A that runs until every question is answered.
01
It already knows your business
The first build is one file your AI writes about you: your offer, your customers, your pipeline. For Cohort 1, this was the minute-fifteen jaw-drop.
02
One department runs itself
You pick the department that eats your week and encode it end to end. That is the finish line, and it gets verified in the room.
03
The $260-a-month employee
The OS does work you would otherwise hire for, on a bill like mine: about $260 a month, across two companies.
The six classes, in order
- How your data, tools, and integrations connect and work together
- The right way to work with AI: context, agents, tools, and MCP
- The exact tools I use every day, and when to use which
- Meet The Founder OS and everything that ships inside it
- +1 more, live in class
You leave with
The fundamentals down, and your path to your own encoded workspace.

WHAT YOU GET
Everything you get when you join.
The repo
The Founder OS, installed.
The full repo on your machine day one, plus the written Workbook: every step, every prompt, Mac and Windows. Nothing lives in a chat scroll.
The tools
20 OS tools.
CRM, finance, projects, billing and more, in one place you own.
The workspaces
5 encoded workspaces + personas.
Five encoded companies, ready to build yours from.
Live · 6 sessions
6 live sessions with me.
Pre-flight clinic before class one: your machine ready, checked (1-on-1 setup slot if you want it). Then every class ends with something running in YOUR business. A finish line, verified in the room, not assumed.
The room
Community + recordings.
A group chat with the whole cohort. Miss a class and the replay is waiting.
The licence
Yours. In writing.
What you own, spelled out in plain writing before you pay.
Yours to own
Everything you build in the sprint is yours outright. The files live on your machine. No subscription to keep paying. No platform that can take it away. It transfers with your business.
The skill
And the one thing that isn’t a file: the skill. You learn to encode everything you know, AI-first, and to build tools of your own. That puts you in the top 0.1% of people actually using AI.
The Encoded Tools
Real, working tools ship inside it.

Who this is for.
You already use AI
But it’s scattered. Prompts you re-type, chats that forget, nothing that sticks. You run real work worth leveraging (a business, an agency, a team) and you want it on a system you own, not a seat you rent.
Or you’re newer to it
And you just know you need to start properly. The pre-flight clinic and a 1-on-1 setup slot get you running before class one. The written Workbook keeps you moving, and every class ends with something working, verified in the room.

The maths
What is staying exactly where you areactually costing you?
By the end of Cohort 1, the buyers’ own word for this was payroll: the OS does work you would otherwise hire for. Price that work at your own rate and run the numbers.
Your time is worth
your rate × 20 hrs a week × 52 weeks
What hiring that work costs · every year
$208,000
Twenty hours a week of ops, at your own rate. The AI that runs it costs about $260 a month, my real bill across two companies. The cohort is a rounding error against either number.
The difference
This is not another AI course.Put them side by side.

Another AI course
- Videos you watch alone, then implement alone
- Demo data: nothing runs in your actual business
- A platform seat you rent; cancel and it’s gone
- Nobody checks whether you finished
- Outdated the day the next model ships
The Founder OS
- Built live with me: 6 sessions, a finish line every class, verified in the room
- An AI that knows your offer, your customers, your pipeline
- Files you own outright: no subscription, they transfer with your business
- Pre-flight clinic, 1-on-1 setup slot, and the written Workbook (Mac and Windows)
- Architecture that survived two vendor acquisitions mid-Cohort 1
- Runs on ~$260 a month: my real bill, across two companies

ExcellentTrustpilotEvery review on the Trustpilot profile, in full, word for word. Nothing picked, nothing trimmed.
My name is Fletcher Dilmore
My name is Fletcher Dilmore. I run a commercial real estate brokerage out of the state of Florida. He came down and helped to set up our personal OS, brought all of my contacts into one place, and made my deal flow much easier to organize and to keep track of all the current leads that we have going so we don't lose any deals from forgetting about them. It keeps us up-to-date and synchronizes all of my partner's information into one place.
I would highly recommend working with him!
The system is perfect for someone…
The system is perfect for someone wanting to step away from the day to day operations of your company and focus on bringing in more clients for your industry. Also even using this to organize your personal life and stay more focused in what makes you money
Exceptional Tech Leadership and Business Impact
I had an exceptional experience with Bennet Spooner during the Founder OS Cohort. Bennet stood out not only for his expertise and insight, but also for the way he showed up, with genuine thoughtfulness, energy, and a strong commitment to helping others succeed.
He consistently brought a unique perspective to conversations, asked the right questions, and had a remarkable ability to turn complex ideas into clear, actionable next steps. What impressed me most was how generous he was with his knowledge and how invested he seemed in the growth of everyone around him.
Bennet is the kind of person who elevates the entire room. His combination of strategic thinking, practical experience, and authentic leadership made a meaningful impact on my experience in the cohort.
I would highly recommend Bennet to any founder or team looking for someone who brings exceptional value, clarity, and leadership to the table. He was truly one of the standout people in the Founder OS Cohort.
Great cohort!
Great cohort, learned what I needed!
I went from stuck for about a year, to having a full Agentic OS in 2 weeks
Bennett is the AI
Bennett is exceptionally knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the AI space. He is always on the frontier with the developments of AI and what he is learning, his passion comes through in all of his work. He really cares about his students and client outcomes and is patient especially with non technical folks trying to break into the space. FounderOS is a cutting edge product that has a lot of use cases not available anywhere else!

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Yes: Cohort 1 was around 25 founders, and most left with a working system running in their real business. One graduate had an agent booking client appointments before the cohort even ended; the Trustpilot reviews on this page are theirs, in full.
No, and this time you don’t have to take my word for it. Before class one there’s a pre-flight clinic that gets your machine ready (with a 1-on-1 setup slot if you’re not technical), and the written Workbook has every step and every prompt, so nothing depends on keeping up live.
Real numbers: the AI plan that runs your OS is $100–$200 a month. I run two companies on about $260 a month, total. That replaces work you would hire for, and one class is specifically about keeping that bill small.
Tools got acquired and APIs changed mid-Cohort 1, and every build kept working, because the value is the architecture, not the tool. I run mine through Claude Code today and could move it tomorrow. The files are yours; the library keeps updating after you join.
I teach on a Mac and that is the smoothest path. Windows works, and unlike most programs, the Workbook ships a written, tested Windows path, because we learned exactly where Windows bites.
About 5–8 hours a week, for two weeks. And the build is the time-saving work: every class ends with something running that hands hours back. The system you finish with is how you get the time you don’t have.
It’s a build-along with a finish line every single class: something running in your actual business, verified in the room. Miss one and the recording plus the Workbook catch you up. You don’t leave with a demo of everything; you leave with one department that runs itself.
No. It is a systems course. Your business model stays; how you run it changes.
