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.

Where can I find the clay 101 recorded sessions?
🎓 Cohort Mate: For a fresher / someone new to Clay, the best starting point is Clay 101 — that was the open-enrollment beginner cohort covering core mechanics (sources, waterfalls, prompting, exports, basic AI formulas).
Important catch: Clay 101 is currently paused. While it’s offline, the same foundational curriculum lives in Clay University, which is the recommended path for beginners right now.
Here’s how the other cohorts map if you’re deciding what to aim for next: • AI Skills Cohort — for intermediate builders who already finished Clay 101 (or can show Clay 101–level skills via the FETE framework). Not the right first step for a total beginner. • AlphaForge — month-long GTME career bootcamp (~~15 hrs/week) if your goal is landing a full-time GTM Engineering role. Competitive application; open even if you’re not a Clay customer. Apply: https://alpha-forge-clay.vercel.app/ • Wedge (Startup GTM Accelerator) — ~~2-week program for pre–Series A founders / early GTM leads at small startups. • Enterprise Cohort — only for Enterprise customers, via your Enterprise Growth Specialist. • APAC Cohort — also currently paused.
Enrollment basics that apply across cohorts: • A free Clay account is enough to join (workspace gets Pro features during an active cohort). • You must be in the Clay Slack community before applying — cohort comms happen in a private channel there. • Credits are issued once per workspace, usually the week before kickoff. • AI Skills applications: https://form.typeform.com/to/AspzxFXH
If you share a bit more about your goal (just learning Clay basics vs. startup GTM vs. switching into a GTME career), I can point you at the single best next step and how to enroll.

🎓 Cohort Mate: Great question — for a fresher / someone new to Clay, here’s the practical path:
Best starting point • Clay 101 was the open beginner cohort (core product basics). It’s currently paused. While it’s unavailable, start with Clay University for the foundational curriculum — that content still covers the same core mechanics. • Once you have Clay 101–level skills (or you’ve graduated Clay 101 when it was running), the natural next step is the AI Skills Cohort (advanced AI formulas, prompting, Claygent). AI Skills requires Clay 101 graduation or demonstrated Clay 101–level skills.
Other cohorts (only if they match your goal) • AlphaForge — month-long GTME career bootcamp if you want a full-time GTM Engineering job (competitive application; not a beginner product course). • Wedge (Startup GTM Accelerator) — ~~2-week program for pre–Series A founders / early GTM leaders at small startups (teams under ~~20), not a general fresher track. • Enterprise Cohort — for Enterprise customers only, via your Enterprise Growth Specialist. • APAC Cohort — currently paused.
How to enroll / next steps 1. Join the Clay Slack community first (required before applying to any cohort). 2. Build foundations in Clay University while Clay 101 is paused. 3. When ready for AI Skills: apply here → https://form.typeform.com/to/AspzxFXH 4. If you’re aiming at a GTME career instead: AlphaForge → https://alpha-forge-clay.vercel.app/ 5. Upcoming dates: check the Clay Cohorts Calendar & Timetable for start dates and application deadlines (post in #03__cohorts if you need the latest link).
You only need a free Clay account to join cohorts; paid isn’t required. If you share whether you’re aiming at product skills, a GTME career, or founding a startup, I can narrow this to one recommendation.

🎓 Cohort Mate: Hey Pradyy — on Clay 101 recordings specifically:
• Live cohort sessions are generally not recorded. That’s intentional (on-camera participation + a safer space for questions), so there usually isn’t a full replay library of past 101 live calls to dig up. • Clay 101 itself is currently paused, so there also isn’t an active cohort stream of sessions right now. • What you can use instead: the Clay 101 curriculum content still lives in Clay University — that’s the recommended place for the foundational lessons (sources, waterfalls, prompting basics, exports, AI formulas) while 101 enrollment is offline.
If you’re looking for a particular lesson topic (e.g. waterfalls vs. Claygent), say which one and I can point you at the right next step (University vs. AI Skills once you have 101-level skills).
