Powered by The Perpetual Core
Every dollar of paid-tier revenue at IHA Founders compounds: 90% sustains the program and grows the institution, 10% flows through The Perpetual Engine to scholarship and partner-delivered cohorts in communities the rest of the AI ecosystem overlooks. That 10% is what keeps Tier 0 free for you — and free for the next founder behind you.
Equity, by design
60%+ of Tier 1 graduates receive subsidized or full-scholarship access via partner orgs and the Perpetual Engine cross-subsidy.
Built for everyone
PPP-adjusted pricing for Africa, the Caribbean, South Asia, and Latin America. Same curriculum. Same certificate. A price that fits your reality.
No catch
Tier 0 is permanently free. Not a trial. Not a teaser. The funnel works because the content is good, not because it traps you.
