What they actually sell

DTG Tech Academy For Beginners, run by Ese Elakama, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "A FREE Certified UK Tech Academy supporting you in identifying A Tech Path + Access to various practical tasks to get you started in Tech globally." It is free to join. The page lists Let us help you choose your Tech path, and Prizes for competency And so much more. Inside sit 24 courses and a dense module library. The public page keeps the promise practical and specific rather than vague networking talk.

Who pays and why

Builders and operators who feel behind on AI and do not want another tool graveyard. The fear is peers shipping while they still prompt in circles. They join for proven workflows and a practice room for applied AI.

Where the members come from

Ese Elakama's YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X and website presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work. Exact follower counts stay off the public page.

What's holding it back

AI rooms age in weeks. If workflows go stale, members who paid for edge will leave.

Steal this

Sell AI community as weekly workflows members can run, not a tool directory.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other applied AI practice communities. Weak for prompt dump channels.
