Speedrun Mastery - Product Design & Development with AI

Speedrun Mastery - Product Design & Development with AI

Jan 21, 2026

Jan 21, 2026

Speedrun Mastery: Product is a flagship hybrid workshop designed to help founders become better product thinkers and designers — so they can design any product, now or in the future.

​This is not about shipping one MVP.

It’s about upgrading how you think, decide, and build in an AI-first world.

Why Speedrun Exists -

Starting something new today is very different from the old startup playbook. Founders don’t just need information — they need clarity, confidence, and people they can build alongside.

Speedrun exists to:

  • help founders think clearly before committing years of effort

  • replace guesswork with structured thinking

  • create momentum through peer accountability

  • empower non-tech founders to build real products using AI

This isn’t about chasing growth. It’s about making better decisions early.

How Speedrun Is Different -

Speedrun is not:

  • a workshop where you listen and leave

  • an accelerator focused on funding or pitching

  • an incubator taking equity

  • a networking event with no follow-through

Speedrun is:

  • small peer groups working together

  • focused on real ideas, not case studies

  • built around doing, not talking

  • design-first, not growth-hack-first

  • about clarity before scale

You don’t “attend” Speedrun. You participate.

Real Speedrun Stories

"I'm not an IT or tech person at all and I've been noticing this issue in my industry for the past decade. I had a clear vision of the solution and had even discussed it with potential customers but neither did I know how to build it nor could I afford the high quotes provided by dev-shops.
Learning from them {Pranav Kay} has been a complete game-changer, I was up till 4AM just building the solution and I could not stop! In 2 days I had built the entire platform, not just a simple MVP with a single feature.
Learning to build has given me the confidence that if this idea fails, i'll surely be able to build 10 others and keep trying,"

Gurram Sai Amarnath,

creating an ecosystem app for the photography industry.

"I thought I was going to learn how to develop an app and that's the main skill that is keeping me from becoming an overnight success. Everything changed after I spent time with Pk and his team. We went deep into what I was solving and helped me map the entire operations of the company, then we built the app!
Coming from the comfort of a corporate job, even though I was responsible for multi crore accounts, talking to customers felt easy because everything was already set up. Pk pushed me out of my comfort zone to go approach strangers in an airport to get feedback. It was nerve-wracking and gut-wrenching but the learning was phenomenal!"
