Frequently asked
Is this really free?
Yes. No upsell, no hidden fee. We run the Lever Workshop because it's the best way for us to show non-technical owners what AI can actually do. If you want to work with us after, great — if not, you still walk away with a plan.
Do I need any technical background?
No. This is explicitly for non-technical founders and operators. If you can use email and Zoom, you're qualified.
Can I bring my team?
Yes — each person needs their own free ticket on Eventbrite. Seats are capped at 50 total.
Will it be recorded?
Yes, a session recap goes to registered attendees. But the live demos and Q&A only happen in the room.

Elizabeth, NJ — easy parking, short drive from the Garden State Parkway, New Jersey Turnpike, and Route 1/9. Full address sent upon registration.
