Advanced Technical Fluency Program
For Non-Technical CEOs and Managers
The World's First
”It wasn't that I didn't know the right answers to be seeking from engineers — I didn't even know the right questions to ask! I'm a sporting goods guy."
Kevin PlankFounder and Executive Chairman, Under Armour
What is Technical Fluency?
Every CEO or Manager today has to deal with digital technologies and AI.
You need to have an informed opinion on your company’s high-level technology decisions. You won’t get there by learning to code.
Don’t just nod along with engineers when they say “it will cost $100,000 and 1 year.” We can teach you how the stuff works, so you can ask better questions.
Even hiring the best engineers and consultants in the world doesn’t “save” tech companies. You are a critical stakeholder in strategy, not just the CTO, etc.
What being a tech leader means:
- Understand the big moving parts of technology and how they affect your business – save time, improve margins and increase revenue.
- Stop feeling “unsure” in technical discussions. Push back confidently when needed. Intelligently communicate your vision and goals to engineers.
- Get things done 3x faster, by quickly getting engineers on the same page as you. No surprises.
- Easily stay up-to-date with new technology trends and spot threats/opportunities from a mile away.

What to Expect
Customized 1:1 program with both hand-holding and tough love.
You already understand business. We’ll use that as the base, gradually expanding your practical technical knowledge and confidence.
You can't become "fluent" by passively consuming lectures and memorizing facts. Expect practical exercises, brainstorming discussions, and reading.
We'd expect at least 3 hours of work from you each week/weekend. Depending on your pace, the program could last anywhere from 1-3 months.
Tech communication gaps cost companies millions of dollars in time, money and stress.
How to Enroll
Schedule a 20-minute call to discuss your goals and how we could help.
If the program is not right for you, we won’t let you spend your money with us.
Currently limited to 5 people per month.
Whether you sign up or not, we're rooting for you - building a huge business is hard. We wish something really good happens to you today that makes you smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I learn to code?
No. Coding skills are secondary to technical intuition. If you are really interested, Aman can point you towards the best free resources.
Is it really tailored for me? Can we have 1:1 sessions on weekends?
Yes and yes!
I don’t have 3 hours a week, can it be quicker?
Any less than 3 hours per week, and you won’t learn quickly or deeply enough. Aman would prefer if you don’t do it, than get mediocre results from his teaching.
Can I get training for our managers/recruiters/salespeople/etc?
We can talk about it. Use the same link above to schedule a meeting.
How will I access the course?
It will be on Google Classroom. We will release the learning material (lectures, quizzes, assignments) on a weekly basis on your class homepage. We will also schedule 1 video session per week. You won’t need to download any software.
Whatever your price is, can I get a discount?
Unfortunately, it includes direct access to the instructor (our CEO) so we can’t give discounts. We do have some affordable alternatives so don’t hesitate to schedule a meeting.
In any case, you can read all of Aman’s >4000 word essays for free through his Medium page!
