READ THIS FIRST

During our recent research in Armenia, we posed several important questions. Here are a few of them:
1. What if we focused on teaching you to solve real customer problems instead of just preparing you to pitch to investors or learn marketing tactics?
2. What if we guide you in building a single product from start to finish, helping you develop the critical thinking needed for true problem-solving?
3. What if we provided a safe-to-fail environment where you could deeply understand entrepreneurship in one immersive experience instead of enduring multiple setbacks to master it?

So, at BuildUp School, we emphasize hands-on problem-solving in entrepreneurship, which could have the greatest impact in Armenia. Using AI and real-world challenges, we guide students through every stage of product creation. In our safe-to-fail environment, you’ll build essential skills, gain insights through action, and prepare for meaningful, real-world success.

What is our Education process?

Prepare

Students complete an initial assessment or intake form, allowing the system (with AI support) to customize a personalized learning path. Some students also learn English at this stage.

Learn

Students work on personalized, hands-on challenges (no passive learning through videos or reading), using AI-generated prompts that mirror real-world tasks in their field (e.g., product management, design, marketing, or engineering).

Build

Students receive genuine feedback from the tutor, as well as from peers and mentors, regarding their progress in developing real products.

Get hired

Students can now showcase their completed projects in a portfolio format and receive product reviews from real customers on ProductHunt, aiding in career progression.
