The Six-Month Alternative to College—
La Jolla–Based. Hands-On.
For Creators.

Creator Academy focuses on building real businesses with paying customers, not theoretical knowledge. In six months, you'll have what most college graduates lack: a profitable company and practical skills.

Creator Academy is by invitation only for members of approved partner organizations. We work with select educational institutions and organizations that share our values of practical, entrepreneurial education.

Each student receives weekly 1:1 coaching sessions with Luke D'Andrea, access to our network of mentors, peer support from their cohort, and comprehensive resources for every aspect of building a business.

Graduates own their businesses and continue operating them independently. We provide a 90-day scaling plan and ongoing alumni network support to ensure continued growth and success.

Creator Academy is not accredited as we focus on practical business outcomes rather than academic credentials. Students graduate with real companies, not degrees—which often prove more valuable in the entrepreneurial world.
