Founders Cohort closes June 19. 30 seats. OpenAI Ads approval takes 12 days.

Your competitors don't know ChatGPT Ads exist yet. You have about 90 days before that changes.

4 weeks. Live. You walk out with a tracked campaign, a weekly optimization cadence, and a 5-year head start on a channel that's currently bidding at $1.50 CPC. 30 seats. Starts July 7.

The Big Idea

If I can prove to you that ChatGPT Ads is the 2007 AdWords window — and that the operators who build the system in the next 90 days will own a 5–10x cost advantage for years — then the only question left is whether you want to be one of them.

This is not Google Ads with a ChatGPT skin.

Same word — "ads" — doesn't mean same channel. Comparing Google Ads to OpenAI Ads is like comparing organic apples to hybrid, sugar-enhanced, scientifically-bred orange trees.

The auction physics? Different. The targeting? Different. The optimization loop? Different.

Port the Google playbook in here and you'll burn $3K in 14 days and conclude the channel doesn't work. Yeah, don't do that.

The business owners who win the next 12 months learn the new operating system. The ones who don't, watch them eat.

CPC is $1.50 right now. It will not stay there.

ChatGPT Ads CPC: $1.50 today → $15 projected by Q2 2028. 10× cost increase in 24 months. The window closes.

Every paid channel has the same arc. The business owners who learn first eat the ones who arrive late.

AdWords had it in 2007. Facebook Ads, 2015. TikTok, 2019. ChatGPT Ads is in that window right now. The auction has barely been touched.

Filters exist because the wrong fit wastes your time and mine. Yes on all four? Keep reading.

In 4 weeks you walk out with a working channel and a system to scale it.

Not a content library. A working channel.

  1. A live ChatGPT Ads campaign — tracked, with a competitive teardown of your auction.
  2. The SIAG architecture — your repeatable ad-group template. Build a new one in 10 minutes using Beacon.
  3. The Sweep — your weekly optimization cadence. 30 minutes every Monday. Runs whether you're there or not.
  4. The Scale-Up Decision Matrix — calibrated to your CAC and unit economics. Stop scaling on vibes.
  5. The 90-Day Post-Cohort SOP — what to do every Monday for the 12 weeks after Cohort 1 ends.
  6. The Quick Wins Hierarchy — where to deploy your first dollar. The question every founder asks first.
  7. Anti-case-study breakdowns — every expensive mistake business owners are making on this channel RIGHT NOW. Real screenshots. Including the Purina deep-funnel landing-page mismatch.
  8. Live feedback from me on your dashboard — not generic frameworks. Your actual auction. Your actual numbers.

Evan Fisher

Founder of Unicorn Capital. $5B+ raised for clients from a16z, Sequoia, SoftBank, Tiger, Khosla. #1 globally on Upwork in Finance. 2,000+ businesses advised across 16 sectors.

Real-world credibility, not creator credential. I've spent the last decade building the playbook for capital, growth, and channel architecture.

Full disclosure: I'm not a 20-year career media buyer. I'm a founder who builds systems. I've been watching this channel since OpenAI announced it — capturing screenshots, testing the auction, documenting what works and what burns money.

Don't take my word for it.

These aren't AI Ads testimonials — Cohort 1 hasn't run yet. These are from operators I've worked with on capital raise systems. Same operator. Same standards. Same systems thinking.

“Brought in over $20,000,000. Couldn't have done it without Evan.”

Keith Burkard

“If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on Evan all the way.”

Justin Welsh

“Evan outshines nearly every single boutique investment bank and a broad swath of so-called geniuses residing at bulge bracket firms that are in the business of raising capital.”

Jay Berkman

“A total game-changer for any investor pitch. If you're a founder, you're crazy to not do this.”

You're not paying $2,000 for a course. You're paying $2,000 to skip 9 months of $1.50-CPC tuition I already paid.

But wait — these are also included.

Four bonuses I'm bundling into Cohort 1 that don't exist anywhere else.

Bonus #1$800 value

Anti-Case-Study Vault

12+ real competitor screenshots with annotated breakdowns. Including the Purina deep-funnel mismatch, the Wayfair deep-discount blunder, and others. Live evidence captured May 2026. Worth the cohort price on its own.

Bonus #2$1,000 value

1 × 30-min private dashboard audit with Evan

Limited to the first 15 enrollees. Within 30 days post-cohort. I pull your dashboard, run the audit, give you the next move. Not a generic call — your actual numbers.

Bonus #3$1,500 value

Lifetime access to Cohort 2 + Cohort 3 replay library

When the playbook updates, you get the updates. The platform will change. Your access doesn't.

Bonus #4Priceless

Founders Council early access

Cohort 1 alumni get application priority and grandfathered pricing on the Q1 2027 Founders Council mastermind. The Council is the next tier up. You're in line first.

The Sweep Guarantee.

Three actions over 30 days:

  1. Launch a campaign in the first 14 days.
  2. Spend at least $1,500 over 30 days.
  3. Run The Sweep cadence for 4 weeks.

Do all three and you'll have what you need to run ChatGPT Ads.

Don't have a tracked campaign by day 30? I refund 100% of what you paid AND you keep the templates, SOPs, and recordings. Work filter stays. Refund teeth get real.

Honest. Tied to action. Filters opportunists. Full terms: /refund-policy

Why enrollment closes June 19.

OpenAI Ads account approval takes ~12 days. To be ready for Week 1 (July 7), you have to apply within 48 hours of enrolling. Can't apply right away? No drama — defer to Cohort 2 at Founders pricing.

I care more about you succeeding than I care about your money. That's why this gate exists.

Frequently asked.

Is this just Google Ads but for AI?

No. Same word ("ads") doesn't mean same channel. See Section 2. Different auction physics, different targeting model, different optimization loop.

Is this also about AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

No. AEO is the organic discipline — getting cited as the answer inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude without paying. Critical infrastructure. Longer game though — 6 to 24 months to compounding results. This cohort is paid placement: predictable, controllable, measurable inside 4 weeks. Separate AEO program launches 2027. Founders alumni get first access. AEO waitlist →

How much budget do I need?

$3K+/month. Anything less doesn't generate enough data to optimize.

I'm a service business — can I still join?

If you have a documented lead-gen funnel and meet the budget threshold, you'll go through manual review. If not — B2B Edition waitlist.

What if I can't make a live session?

Replays in Kajabi within 24 hours. The Sweep cadence plus community discussion fills the gap. But: the live audits are the marquee value. Try not to miss more than one.

What's the Council tier?

Future Q1 2027 mastermind for Masterclass alumni. Application-only, $10–15K quarterly. Don't worry about it until after you've graduated Cohort 1.

Can I get a refund?

See the Sweep Guarantee.

I don't have an OpenAI Ads account yet — should I still apply?

Yes. Apply for your OpenAI Ads account within 48 hours of enrolling. Approval takes ~12 days. The cohort timing is built around this gate.

I've heard the 'first-mover' story before — TikTok, Pinterest, Snap. Most don't compound.

Fair. Here's how to tell a real window from a hype window: 3 signals. Auction sparsity (most commercial categories have zero advertisers right now). Platform-funded demand (OpenAI is subsidizing distribution to grow paid ad supply). User behavior shift (people are doing commercial research inside ChatGPT, not just queries). ChatGPT Ads hits all three. Pinterest hit one.

$3K/mo for 60 days is $6K of ad spend on top of the $2,000 tuition. What's the payback?

Average DTC operator at $100K–$10M revenue hits their first profitable SIAG inside week 2–3. At a 2.5x ROAS on $3K/mo, tuition pays back by day 35. If that math doesn't work for your unit economics, you're in the wrong cohort — and that's a feature, not a bug. The ICP filter exists because the wrong fit wastes your time and mine.

What if OpenAI changes the auction in 6 months and the playbook breaks?

Auction mechanics shift. The Sweep cadence and the Scale-Up Decision Matrix don't — they're calibrated to YOUR economics, not OpenAI's UI. The 90-Day SOP is a system, not a screenshot. Plus: Bonus #3 (lifetime access to Cohort 2 + 3) means when the playbook updates, you get the updates.

Why a cohort instead of self-paced? I can learn from your YouTube.

YouTube teaches you what to do. The live audit teaches you what's wrong with YOUR account. That difference is the entire product. If you want frameworks without the audit — the channel's free, go nuts. If you want the audit on your actual dashboard with your actual numbers — that's the cohort.

The window is open. The auction is empty. Cohort 1 starts July 7.
