A lifelong dream,
built in stone.
A place where anyone — a curious ten-year-old or a forty-year-old ready for a second act — can learn to turn ideas into real companies in the age of AI.
For a long time, the same idea kept coming back: school, the way most of us know it, isn't built for this moment.
The tools to build have never been more powerful. A kid with an idea and an AI can ship something real in an afternoon. A career-changer can learn a craft in months that used to take years. But the places we learn haven't caught up — they still separate kids from adults, theory from practice, learning from doing.
Rodin Academy is the answer to that. A brick-and-mortar school where the curious learn to make real things — and learn the muscle to turn those things into businesses. Kids and adults in the same room, taught by entrepreneurs who've actually built and shipped.
What we believe
Curiosity is the only prerequisite. Not age, not a degree, not a résumé. If you're curious and willing to build, you belong here — whether you're ten or sixty.
You learn by making. Not by memorizing. Every student leaves with something real they built, not a certificate they filed away.
The best teachers have done the thing. Real entrepreneurs and builders — people who've shipped — not career instructors reading from a textbook.
Craft and business are one skill. Knowing how to build isn't enough. Knowing how to sell isn't enough. The founders who matter can do both. So we teach both.
The name
Rodin Academy carries the name of its founder, Sagi Rodin — and the name carries a gift. Auguste Rodin, the sculptor, took raw stone and shaped it into something alive. That's the through-line for everything we do: shaping, craft, bringing the latent to life. We take curious people and help them become founders and builders.
Where we're going
We're starting in the Bay Area — the place where the future tends to get built first. But the dream doesn't stop there. The goal is national: Rodin Academies in cities across the country, each one turning curious people into builders. This is the beginning.
Just as Rodin shaped raw stone into something alive, we shape curious people into founders and builders.The Rodin idea
