FDE Boot Camp: Pursuit Edition · Thursdays

Use AI to sell AI. Build the proof in front of the customer.

Forward deployed engineering for the sale: build a working agent on the customer's own process, live, before the deal is signed.

This Thursday's class is sponsored by

StarPoint

The 7:00 AM PT class is free, thanks to our sponsors. Stay for the full Boot Camp the same day.

Pre-sales and proof of concept

Forward deployed engineering is changing how technical products get sold.

Buyers want proof, not slides. Forward deployed engineering puts a builder in the sale who turns pre-sales and proof-of-concept work into a working agent on the customer's own process. It is one of the fastest-growing models in technical sales.

Built around your company

There is plenty of free AI training. Very little of it is tailored to one company. This Boot Camp works on your products, your customers and your sales process, so what you build is ready to use.

One day, three sessions

Start free in the morning. Finish the Boot Camp by evening.

7:00 to 9:00 AM PT · Free

Class one: see it work

Watch a live build on a real sales problem, and learn why showing beats telling.

12:00 to 2:00 PM PT

Class two: build it

Build your own proof on a customer process, with an instructor beside you.

4:00 to 6:00 PM PT

Class three: run it in the sale

Rehearse the live demo and the questions buyers ask, so it holds up in the room.

Next dates: Thursday, October 29 and Thursday, November 5, 2026.
