AESOP AI Academy advisors bring their expertise to a mission that matters — making world-class AI literacy accessible to everyone, everywhere.
AESOP AI Academy is building the world's most accessible AI education platform — a growing library of courses, multiple languages, and a patent-pending engine that makes high-quality AI learning available to anyone with a browser. Behind that platform is a community of advisors who believe that getting AI education right is one of the most important things we can do right now.
Our advisory boards are not ceremonial. Advisors have direct lines to the founder, real influence over curriculum and strategy, and front-row seats to everything we're building. If you want to be part of something meaningful — and be recognized for it — this is the right table.
We designed the advisor experience to be genuinely valuable — not just a line on a résumé.
Your name, title, and bio appear on the AESOP AI Academy advisory board page — a public-facing platform with a growing international audience of students, employers, and educators.
Advisors are heard, not just listed. Your input shapes course content, platform direction, and how we communicate AI literacy to the world. Founders listen — that's built into how our boards operate.
Our boards include CISOs, AI researchers, senior executives, educators, and founders. Monthly meetings bring this group together — the conversations are worth the time commitment on their own.
Advisors see everything first — new courses, platform features, partnership announcements, and research findings. You'll be ahead of the public by weeks or months.
Each board focuses on a different dimension of what makes AESOP great. All five connect directly to the founder and meet together quarterly.
Marketing, communications, growth, and public presence
Curriculum, pedagogy, standards alignment, and learning outcomes
AI accuracy, platform integrity, security, and technical roadmap
AI literacy for active service members and transitioning veterans
Course development, localization, and outreach for international learners
AESOP AI Academy is pre-revenue and advisor roles are currently volunteer. That is intentional — we want advisors who are here for the mission, not the money. But we also believe that people who create real value should share in the upside.
As the academy grows, we are building toward compensated advisor engagement. Advisors who are here early and active will be first in line.
It depends on the board. For the Brand Board and Technical Board, we look for practitioners with real-world experience and a genuine interest in AI education — credentials are not required. If you work in the field, have strong opinions about how AI should be taught, and want to contribute meaningfully, we want to hear from you.
The Education Board is the exception. Because this board directly shapes curriculum and learning outcomes, we require at least a bachelor's degree — and prefer a master's or PhD — in a relevant field. That includes AI, technology, education, instructional design, or any area of child or developmental psychology. If you have the credentials and the passion for getting AI education right, we'd love to connect.
It varies by board, and we've kept the commitments intentionally light:
Brand Board — approximately 1 hour per month. One focused monthly meeting via LinkedIn, plus occasional async conversation in the LinkedIn group. That's it.
Education Board — approximately 1.5 hours per month. Two monthly MS Teams meetings: one group call with the full board, and one individual one-on-one with the founder. The one-on-one is where your specific expertise gets applied directly.
Technical Board — 1 to 1.5 hours per month. One monthly Discord video call, plus ongoing access to a Discord channel where you can engage at whatever level works for you. Async-friendly by design.
Not currently. AESOP AI Academy is pre-revenue and advisor seats are volunteer. That is intentional — we want people here for the mission. As the academy grows toward revenue, early advisors who have been active and engaged will be the first considered for compensated opportunities, including consulting, co-development revenue share, and contract instructional design work.
Yes — and we actively encourage it for the Brand Board. Regardless of which board you primarily join, we welcome any advisor who is willing to help amplify AESOP's social media presence to also participate in the Brand Board. The Brand Board's time commitment is light (about one hour a month), and social amplification is one of the most impactful things any advisor can do for the mission.
If your background spans multiple areas beyond that — say, you're both an educator and an AI researcher — mention it in your application and we'll work out the right structure together.
It means we listen and we act on what we hear. Our boards have directly influenced course sequencing, platform feature prioritization, how we communicate with students, and how we approach partnerships. If something you raise gets dismissed without explanation, that's a problem — and we'd want to know. This is not a rubber-stamp arrangement.
We review every application personally — usually within a week. Every applicant who looks like a potential fit gets invited to at least one board meeting on a contingency basis, so you can see how the board operates and we can see how you engage — before either of us commits. There's no panel interview, no lengthy assessment process. We move quickly, and we'd rather let you experience it firsthand than try to sell you on it.
Advisory terms are informal — there's no binding contract. We ask for at least a six-month commitment so you have time to actually contribute and see results. If your situation changes, just let us know and we'll handle it gracefully. We'd rather have an honest conversation than have someone stay out of obligation.
Applications take about five minutes. Tell us who you are, what board interests you, and what you'd bring to the table. We review every application personally.
