# AI Start Academy (AISA)
> In-person, hands-on AI workshops and bootcamps in San Francisco (Mission District) and on Zoom. We train founders, students, and professionals to build real AI automations, deploy production-grade AI agents, and launch their own AI automation agency — no coding required, beginners welcome.
AI Start Academy is led by founder & CEO Lex Mustafin. The mission is to transfer Silicon Valley's cutting-edge, practical AI knowledge to people who can use it to build real leverage — production-grade systems and deployable agents, not theory or hype. Flagship program: the AI Automation Agency Bootcamp.
- Venue: 1769 15th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 (Mission District; ~5-min walk from BART 16th St)
