Work. Learn. Earn.
A tech workforce company where apprentices work half the day building real products, learn half the day, and graduate with experience - not debt.
Education flipped on its head
Apprentices earn their education through work. No tuition. No debt. Real experience.
Tuition
Education is earned through work contribution, not purchased with loans. Housing and meals included.
Morning: Learn
Workshops in tech, business, and trades. AI-assisted, hands-on from day one. No months of theory.
Afternoon: Work
Build real software, work on client projects, ship products. Your work creates value that funds the program.

Partner with us →Lincoln College - Revived
The only college Abraham Lincoln personally allowed to use his name. Closed in 2022. Coming back with purpose.
Why This Campus?
For this model to work, we need a campus - housing for apprentices, classrooms for training, facilities to build community. You can't replicate this with office space. Lincoln College offers $60M+ in replacement value for a $2-3M acquisition. And our founder lives just minutes away, deeply rooted in the Lincoln community.
200 dorm beds. Classrooms. Cafeteria. Gym. $4M sports complex. Solar field. Fiber internet. Everything needed to house, feed, and train the next generation of technologists.
