What happens next

Three steps. No black hole.

01

Erik reviews your application.

Usually within two business days. He reads each one personally — every section. He's looking for fit: install experience, a crew you can actually mobilize, and whether commercial work is the right next move for your business. Not perfection.

02

We email you with next steps.

If your background matches the program, you'll get a calendar link to book a 30-minute call with Erik. If you're not ready yet — no crew, no install experience — we'll tell you exactly what to build before reapplying. Either way, you hear back.

03

You decide on the call. Not before.

The call is a working session, not a pitch. You'll walk through your market, your numbers, and whether the next cohort is the right move. If you decide to enroll, we send you the paperwork. If you don't, no follow-up sales sequence. We move on, you move on.

A note from the founder

I read every application personally.

Not because it scales — it doesn't — but because the wrong fit costs both of us twelve weeks, and twelve weeks is a long time to spend in a bootcamp built for someone else.

When I read yours, I'm not looking for polish. I'm looking for three things: real install experience, a crew you can actually mobilize, and a real reason commercial is the next move for your business. That's it.

If those three are there, I want to talk to you. If they're not yet, I'll tell you exactly what to build before you reapply.

Application FAQ

Before you apply. Six honest answers.

Can I apply if I'm currently W-2 employed somewhere else?
Yes. Many students apply while still working a W-2 job and use the 12-week bootcamp to plan their transition into running their own commercial flooring business. The program requires three to five hours per week, which most applicants fit around their current work schedule.
What happens if I miss the next cohort?
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. If you apply and the current cohort is full, you'll be queued for the next one. Cohorts run several times per year, and there's no penalty for waiting — your acceptance carries over.
Do I need an LLC to apply?
No. Many applicants are still operating as sole proprietors or subcontractors when they apply. Setting up the right business entity, opening business banking, and getting properly insured are part of what we work on inside the bootcamp — not prerequisites for applying.
Will I be put on a sales list if I don't enroll?
No. If you apply and don't enroll, you'll receive one confirmation email. No drip sequence, no nurture campaign, no sales calls. We move on, you move on.
What does the bootcamp cost?
The application itself is free. Tuition for the 12-week bootcamp is discussed on the call with Erik if you're a fit. We don't publish pricing publicly because what you pay depends on your specific situation, the cohort you're joining, and any current payment options available at the time of enrollment.
Can I apply if I currently only do residential flooring?
Yes. Many students keep their residential work as a steady cash-flow stream and use the bootcamp to add commercial as their higher-margin revenue line. Residential install experience qualifies. What matters is that you have install experience and a crew you can mobilize.
