Hey Everyone ,Can anyone help me with enrolling the best clay cohort a fresher can join?
🎓 Cohort Mate: Hey Pradyy — for someone just getting started, here’s the clean path:
• Best beginner track historically: Clay 101 Cohort — foundational Clay mechanics for new users. It’s currently paused, so there’s no open 101 enrollment right now (the calendar still shows Clay 101 - Cohort 30 as not open yet). • What to do meanwhile: start with Clay University for the same beginner curriculum (sources, waterfalls, prompting basics, exports, AI formulas). • Next step after foundations: AI Skills Cohort — ~1.5 weeks on AI formulas, prompting, and Claygent. Requires Clay 101 graduation or demonstrated Clay 101-level skills. Apply here: AI Skills application. Recent AI Skills runs on the calendar are closed; watch for the next open one on the Cohorts Calendar & Timetable. • If “fresher” means early career / wanting a GTME job: look at AlphaForge (month-long career bootcamp, competitive app) — learn more & apply. • If you’re an early-stage founder/GTM lead building the company engine: Wedge is the better fit than 101/AI Skills.
You only need a free Clay account to join most cohorts, and cohort chat happens in a private channel in the Clay Slack community — join the community before applying. If you say whether you’re new to Clay, job-hunting GTME, or building GTM at a startup, I can point you at one path only.

Gumloop are there any pre-requisites to enroll for Alphaforge? Are we good to go with a free account or we need paid one?
🎓 Cohort Mate: For a fresher / someone new to Clay, the best starting point has historically been Clay 101 — the foundational open-enrollment cohort for beginners covering core Clay mechanics (sources, enrichment waterfalls, prompting basics, exports, and AI formulas).
Status: Clay 101 is currently paused. Its curriculum content is still available through Clay University, so that’s the recommended place to start learning the fundamentals right now.
Once you have Clay 101–level skills, here’s how the other cohorts map: • AI Skills Cohort — next step after Clay 101 (or equivalent FETE-level skills); focuses on AI formulas, prompting, and Claygent. Apply: https://form.typeform.com/to/AspzxFXH • AlphaForge — only if your goal is a full-time GTME career (competitive bootcamp, ~15 hrs/week for a month), not basic product onboarding. Learn more / apply: https://alpha-forge-clay.vercel.app/ • Wedge — for early-stage / pre-Series A founders building GTM with Clay • Enterprise Cohort — for Enterprise customers (via your Enterprise Growth Specialist) • APAC Cohort — also currently paused
To enroll in general: 1. Join the Clay Slack community first (required — cohort comms happen in private channels). 2. A free Clay account is enough; your workspace gets Pro features during an active cohort. 3. Apply via the links above for the cohort that fits your goal.
If you share a bit more about your goal (learn Clay basics vs. AI workflows vs. GTME career vs. startup GTM), I can point you to the single best next step.
