Most entrepreneurs entering the AI space make the same mistake. They chase low-fee automation gigs that barely pay the bills while others with the same skills close $20K deals.
That gap is not because of the lack of skills, it’s the lack of strategy.
Nick Puru, now known for his mentorship program AI Accelerator, saw this pattern early and built a system that helps professionals build AI businesses that charge $10K-15K per project.
He proves that the future of AI doesn’t belong only to engineers - it belongs to strategists, consultants, and entrepreneurs who know how to create real transformation.
This isn’t just another online course story. It’s about how a creator turned his own grind into a framework that helps others escape the automation trap and build the kind of business that lasts.
From Fixing Cars to Building AI Empires
Before launching AI Accelerator, Nick Puru’s life looked nothing like the world of AI and digital entrepreneurship he leads today.
In university, while most of his classmates were chasing internships at accounting firms and corporate jobs, Nick was fixing cars.
He ran a small mobile auto-repair service to pay for school, fixing cars, building referrals, and learning how to sell face-to-face. That experience taught him how to earn every dollar and how to talk to people.
In his final year, Nick decided to promote the business online and everything changed when he ran his first Facebook ad. The leads poured in, and for the first time, he saw how powerful marketing could be when it worked at scale. That single decision set the course for his career.
That’s why after graduation, he went all-in on building his own marketing agency.
The first year was rough. He made $40K in total revenue, got countless rejections, and plenty of sleepless nights wondering if he had made a mistake. But he kept going.
“I just knew the upside was there,” he says. “Worst case, I fail and go back to a normal job. Best case, I build the life I actually want.”
Three years later, the same guy who was once fixing cars was running a six-figure marketing agency, helping other small businesses grow through paid ads and automation.
That transformation became the foundation for his next chapter: helping others make their own leap through the AI Accelerator.
Teaching AI Accelerator: Real Skills, Real Growth
Nick Puru built AI Accelerator with one clear mission - teaching people how to build real, sustainable businesses in the new AI economy.
The course isn’t about flashy numbers or overnight wins, it’s about helping people make the same shift Nick made.
His students are mostly 9-to-5 professionals who feel stuck, burnt out, or unsure how to start a business. The program gives them a structured path forward: learn how to build an AI automation agency, find clients, and earn their first $10K month - without the fake promises.
Nick’s teaching style is straightforward and results-driven and focused on execution, instead of theory. Every module in AI Accelerator breaks down complex concepts like offer creation, sales psychology, and client acquisition into simple, repeatable systems.
As Nick says
“Most people don’t fail because they lack information, they fail because they don’t have structure, accountability, or the belief that they can actually do it.”
What makes his approach different is his emphasis on mindset and confidence. Beyond the technical lessons, students are trained to handle rejection, close sales, and think like entrepreneurs.
When it comes to results, many of his students go from earning zero online to building consistent $5K–$10K months within 90 days. The real win isn’t just financial. It’s seeing his students negotiating confidently, leading their own teams, and redefining what freedom looks like.
Scaling AI Accelerator with Teachly
When Nick Puru partnered with Teachly, he was looking for scale.
His course had already helped hundreds of professionals escape the 9-to-5 grind and launch agencies. But to reach his next chapter, he needed to evolve his offer into something bigger.
That evolution became AI Accelerator, a 12-week mentorship program designed and launched with Teachly.
Teachly’s growth team worked with Nick to completely rebuild his offer from the ground up, refining everything from positioning and price point to funnel design and messaging.
Together, we moved his brand from “automation coaching” to AI business transformation, helping him target a more sophisticated audience: consultants, agency owners, and domain experts ready to sell $10K+ transformation projects.
Our team developed a full offer stack and funnel system that turned Nick’s vision into a high-converting ecosystem:
- A three-phase proprietary framework designed to move students from tool builders to strategic AI architects.
 - A premium mentorship model built for long-term transformation: 12 weeks of live coaching, templates, and business frameworks.
 - A revenue-focused funnel, from landing pages and VSL scripts to retention emails and automated follow-ups.
 
The launch brought in 200+ students and established the program as a sustainable mentorship business helping entrepreneurs become high-paid AI infrastructure architects.
Final Takeaways
Nick Puru’s story is proof that reinvention starts with clarity and courage.
His journey shows the power of positioning. By focusing on transformation instead of tactics, Nick turned his expertise into a premium and scalable mentorship program. For students, AI Accelerator became a roadmap to building confidence, control, and a career that grows with the AI economy.
Whether you’re a creator looking to scale your knowledge or a professional ready to build your first $10K AI project, Nick’s story makes one thing clear: the next wave of opportunity in AI belongs to those bold enough to reinvent themselves.
