Two days at Acquisition HQ. We show you what AI can actually do right now, then we sit down with you and build it into your business. You leave with two or three things deployed, not "ideas to try later."
Two days. You leave knowing what AI can do AND where it moves the needle in your business.
APPLY NOW→On the low end you've got a flood of surface-level content geared toward solopreneurs and people just starting out. Useful if you're at zero. Useless if you're running a real business.
On the high end, Fortune 500 companies are paying consulting firms millions a year to build out AI strategy. They can afford it. They're fine.
For businesses doing $1M to $100M in revenue, there's almost nothing tactical. The people teaching AI publicly mostly haven't scaled or sold real companies. They teach tools. Not where to put them.
That's the gap we built this workshop to close.
The right question is two questions stacked together.
You can't answer the second one without answering the first. And you can't deploy something you don't know exists. So most owners are stuck trying to solve a puzzle without seeing all the pieces.
That's not a "you" problem. That's a map problem.
They didn't have a map. So they pointed AI at whatever felt tangible. And burned cash doing it.
The other version of this is worse. Owners using AI to ask questions and write a few emails, then calling that an AI strategy. That's not leverage. That's a $20 toy.
"Technical" meant something five years ago. It meant you could code, read documentation, set up servers. AI killed that.
Now you talk to it in plain English.
If you can write a text message, you can use AI.
Most attendees who come out are not technical. That's not a bug. That's the design. We assume you don't have a developer background. The goal isn't to turn you into one. The goal is to teach you where to point AI in your business and walk out with the assets already built.
You don't need to know how the engine works. You need to know where to put it.
Same skill you learned when you had to figure out ads. Or content. Or hiring. You weren't a creative or a recruiter when you started. You learned because the business needed you to. This is the same thing.
Some of our directors make $300K, $500K, even $1M+ a year. If you're a local business, you probably don't have access to talent at that level. Even if you're national, you might not be at the point where you can responsibly put someone like that on payroll yet.
The arbitrage of the workshop is concentrated time with that level of operator at a fraction of what it would cost to hire them. You sit down with them and work through your most pressing problems with AI. Asking questions along the way.
Live walkthrough of how AI is changing the business landscape and where founders in your industry are using it to scale faster. By the end of session one you'll know more about what AI can do than 95% of business owners. Plus the lens to spot AI opportunities in every future business problem.
Director of Sales. Director of Marketing. Director of Recruiting. Director of Investments. The same operators who run our portfolio companies sit in the room with you and build alongside you for two days.
By end of day two, you have two to three deliverables ready to drop into your business. Personalized to your industry, your size, your constraint. Plus the skill to do it again the next time something breaks.
For YOUR business, only one of these is the right place to start. Maybe two. Picking the right one is the whole game. That's day one.
Closed doors. Theater layout. Same studio our portfolio CEOs use.
"My business partner convinced me we should attend this, so I wasn't sold. However, just a few hours into the first day I was completely sold. I started thinking about how we approach our business in a different way. Especially from the CEO standpoint and looking to increase our overall revenue. It was incredible!"
"The most valuable business workshop I've ever attended. Worth 10x the investment. As a military veteran, former Army recruiter, and someone who's been through countless trainings, including Landmark Education, leadership programs, and running workshops for over 1,000 students, I can confidently say the Scaling Up Workshop by Acquisition.com is the best I've ever attended."
"Just got out of the scaling workshop. My new constraint is how fast I can implement their advice. Every question, plus questions I didn't know I had, were answered with care and clarity. I literally have never had this much clarity. I truly loved this workshop."
We review applications daily. Average response time: 48 hours.
Why we cap it at 48: that's the most we can build alongside in two days without the room turning into a conference. Past that, the work stops being personalized and starts being a panel.
The call you're about to book runs about 15 minutes. We spend 5 minutes understanding the business so we know we can provide value. 5 minutes on your questions. 5 minutes locking in dates if it's a fit both ways.
The cost of figuring this out yourself isn't zero. It's the months your competitors compound past you while you stand still.
While you pay a media buyer to make 5 ads a week, theirs makes 50.
While your sales team does 4 calls a day, theirs does 12.
While you hire your 4th support rep, theirs handles 80% of tickets before a human sees them.
Same headcount. Different map.
Whether you come out to the workshop or not, if you're a business owner, you're my people. I just know what happens when owners get the wrong AI strategy at this stage. They burn cash. They burn a year. And they come out the other side more skeptical of AI than they were when they started, which is the worst place to be in 2026.
We built this so that doesn't happen to you.
