Founder Labs works on the ethical and effective integration of AI within tertiary education — built as assessed, credit-bearing coursework rather than a bolt-on tool or a policy document.
Most AI-in-education projects stall because they cannot survive an assessment board. Founder Labs was designed the other way round — starting from what an examiner needs to see.
Not an enrichment activity bolted onto a degree. The work is credit-bearing and produces artefacts an examiner can mark with confidence — which is precisely where most AI initiatives fall down.
The guardrails live inside the product, not in a handbook nobody reads.
Developed inside a live undergraduate module — not a pilot deck looking for a home.
A documented body of work showing how they directed, challenged and edited AI — the record employers and examiners increasingly ask to see.
The habit of treating AI as a demanding colleague to interrogate rather than a shortcut to an answer. It outlasts any particular model or tool.
Something substantial enough to stand behind under questioning — in a viva, an interview, or in front of people deciding whether to back them.
We're speaking with a small number of universities, business schools and funding partners.
