About ANVIL
Building the bridge between AI disruption and meaningful work. Free training for displaced workers, funded by outcomes.
Our Mission
ANVIL exists because the current system fails displaced workers. Job boards are broken. Career coaches cost hundreds per hour. Boot camps take 6-12 months and teach skills AI is actively replacing.
We built a different path: a free, 7-day sprint that turns any displaced worker into an AI-augmented specialist in boring, essential niches where human judgment is legally or ethically required.
Core Principle: Don't compete with AI. Become the human layer on top of it. AI handles 70-90% of the work, you add the judgment, empathy, and accountability that no algorithm can.
What We Teach
We've identified 7 boring, essential niches where demand is surging and supply is near zero:
- Benefits Navigation: Guide people through SSDI, SNAP, Medicaid (AI does 80% of research)
- Medical Billing Advocacy: Dispute errors, negotiate bills (AI does 85% of analysis)
- Small Business Compliance: Keep businesses legal (AI tracks regulations)
- Estate Document Prep: Wills, trusts, power of attorney (AI drafts, you verify)
- Grant Writing: Win funding for nonprofits (AI drafts, you add the story)
- Insurance Claims Help: Navigate denials and appeals (AI identifies errors)
- Debt Negotiation: Settle debts for less (AI analyzes, you negotiate)
WIOA Partnership Model
ANVIL is designed to align with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) priorities: rapid retraining, outcome-based funding, and employment in high-demand sectors.
How We Fund This
ANVIL is free for displaced workers because we make money from:
- Employer Placement Fees: Companies pay to hire our graduates
- Government Workforce Contracts: WIOA-funded outcome-based training
- Partnership Revenue: Libraries, community colleges, nonprofits
Your success is our business model. If you don't land work, we don't get paid.

Our Commitment
We are radically transparent about where we are: ANVIL is new. We don't have testimonials yet. We don't have 10,000 graduates. What we have is:
- A proven training methodology (7-day sprint, project-based)
- Validated demand in every niche we teach (50M+ jobs at risk, 2,400+ boring niches)
- Zero cost to participants (always free for displaced workers)
- A team that ships production software and understands AI deeply
For Workforce Boards: We're seeking pilot partnerships with WIOA-funded programs. We handle curriculum, AI tools, and placement support. You provide participants and outcome tracking. Let's build this together.
