Mentorship Scalability with SenseiAI

masoninthesis


Elevator Pitch: Hi, I’m Mason, founder of SenseiAI. We solve the problem of mentorship scalability. Imagine influential mentors like Jason Calacanis, who wish to guide more people but can’t due to time constraints. With SenseiAI, they set up their personalized coaching system in minutes, automating the mentorship process. Users like me can subscribe to these mentors, set goals, and receive daily check-ins, all for $5/month. We’ve already soft-launched with 50 free users and have $13k in revenue this year. Our goal? To scale to $10M by capturing the product, entrepreneur, and self-improvement space, and then expand to a $100M market across different industries.
Intro: Hi I’m Mason, founder of SenseiAI. We make mentorships scalable.
Problem: Jason is an investor with a large audience, and wishes he could personally mentor an army of them, but he is time-strapped, which leaves his students without sufficient guidance and accountability.
Product demo: So Jason comes to SenseiAI, sets up his SenseiOS in a matter of minutes, then starts fine-tuning it to match his exact Sensei preferences.

He dials the passion all the way up, then sits back and watches as questions, goals, and pitches start coming in and SenseiAI automates the coaching.

Mason is a product builder, so he subscribes to JCal’s SenseiOS for $10/m. He sets his goal to launch an MVP in a month, and gets daily progress check-ins until it’s ready. Then JCal helps him craft the pitch and practice it until he’s ready.

Business model: We offer subscriptions to mentors. The beta starts at $25/m, with 20% revenue sharing on their subscriptions. Students can create an account for $5/m.
Traction:SenseiAI has over 50 free users after soft-launching earlier this month.

Bonsai has over $13k in revenue this year, which comes from whitelabel plans and revenue sharing.

Customers:
Competition: Socra– Socra is a fictional AI coach, whereas Senseis are based on real mentors
Go-to Market: The Pilot Program pipline finds influential Senseis, mentors, and coaches. We set up their SenseiOS and plans so they require zero onboarding. We offer them a free Sensei Pro plan, then take home 20% of their subscription revenue.
Roadmap: Road to $10M: If the average customer spends $20/m subscribing to multiple Senseis, then we will need to get to 200,000 total customers. We are going to use the Masterclass model and onboard teachers with existing audiences in the product, entrepreneur, and self-improvement space.

Road to $100M: Once we have captured the vertical, then we spread horizontal across different industries such as education, health, and small businesses.

Team: Mason Lawlor: I have over 10 years experience, and have built products that have generated over $10M.
