A Letter from Our Founder
Dear Parents and Prospective Scholars,
Throughout my career in finance, law, and technology, I have seen what it takes to succeed at the highest levels. It is no longer enough to have good grades or a long list of extracurriculars. The world's leading universities and employers are looking for something more: a demonstrated ability to think critically, tackle complex problems, and create tangible value.
I founded the Apex Research Collective to bridge the gap between traditional education and the demands of the real world. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to transform exceptional students into published authors and AI-literate leaders in just 12 weeks.
We are not a school. We are a professional research and publishing house. Here, you will be treated as a junior professional, held to the highest standards, and guided through a rigorous process of research, synthesis, and writing. You will not just learn about AI; you will use it as a tool to produce university-level analysis. You will not just write a paper; you will author a chapter in a book that will be circulated globally.
This program is demanding. It requires intellectual curiosity, discipline, and a hunger to create something of lasting value. But my promise to you is this: if you commit to the process, you will emerge with more than just a line on your resume. You will emerge with a published book bearing your name, a deep understanding of the most important technology of our time, and the intellectual confidence to lead in the 21st century.
I look forward to welcoming our Founding Cohort and beginning this transformative journey together.
Sincerely,
Julian So
Founder, Apex Research Collective

创始人致辞
亲爱的家长和未来学者们:
在我从事金融、法律和科技行业的职业生涯中,我深刻了解在最高层次取得成功需要什么。仅仅拥有优异的成绩或一长串课外活动已经不够了。世界顶尖大学和雇主正在寻找更多:批判性思维能力、解决复杂问题的能力,以及创造实际价值的能力。
我创立Apex Research Collective(顶峰研究联盟)的目的是弥合传统教育与现实世界需求之间的差距。我们的使命简单而宏大:在短短12周内,将优秀学生转变为已发表作品的作者和具备AI素养的领导者。
我们不是一所学校。我们是一家专业的研究和出版机构。在这里,你将被视为初级专业人士,接受最高标准的要求,并在研究、综合和写作的严格过程中得到指导。你不仅仅是学习AI;你将把它作为工具来产出大学水平的分析。你不仅仅是写一篇论文;你将在一本全球发行的书籍中撰写一个章节。
这个项目要求很高。它需要求知欲、自律性,以及创造持久价值的渴望。但我向你承诺:如果你全身心投入这个过程,你将获得的不仅仅是简历上的一行字。你将获得一本署有你名字的出版书籍,对我们这个时代最重要技术的深刻理解,以及在21世纪领导的智识自信。
我期待欢迎我们的创始班学员,共同开启这段变革性的旅程。
此致
Julian So
