Burn & Runway
Build the founder's instinct for the numbers that decide whether a startup lives: run-rate, burn, runway, gross margin, CAC, LTV, and the LTV:CAC verdict. Every lesson ends with you DRAGGING the levers — watch runway run out, watch a customer pay back their acquisition cost — not just reading a formula.

Mathematics
A working understanding of mathematics — the universal language scientists, engineers, and quants use to describe the world. The trunk gives you the throughline from how mathematicians think to how math models reality; clusters dive into proof, trig, calculus mechanics, advanced linear algebra, number theory and cryptography, probability, stochastic processes, and the foundational limits of math itself.
Personal Finance
A comprehensive, 3-pillar curriculum that takes learners from financial confusion to financial confidence. Covers the behavioral psychology of money, budgeting and debt systems, investing fundamentals, portfolio construction, retirement planning, real estate, tax optimization, insurance, estate planning, and the path to financial independence — the essential life skills that schools never taught but everyone needs.

Sales
A working understanding of the craft of selling — buyer psychology, discovery, qualification, objection handling, negotiation, and pipeline math. The trunk walks one complete deal motion from prospect to close to expansion; clusters dive into outbound mechanics, discovery frameworks, objection playbooks, negotiation, founder-led sales, and enterprise deals.

A working understanding of cybersecurity — how attackers operate, how defenders push back, and the moving parts of every modern security program. The trunk gives you the throughline from threat model to defense to response; clusters dive into cryptography, network defense, web application security, secure coding, penetration testing, incident response, cloud security, and governance.
Algebra & Precalculus
The foundation curriculum that prepares you for any university-level math course — calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, statistics. Builds symbolic fluency from variables and equations through functions, polynomials, exponentials, trigonometry, and the proof and set-theory groundwork that modern mathematics rests on.
Databases
A complete curriculum on databases — from the relational model and ACID through PostgreSQL internals, production operations, modeling patterns, and the modern data ecosystem (NoSQL, distributed SQL, warehouses, streaming, vectors). Built for working engineers who want database knowledge that survives any system they touch.
