Founder Guide Workshop Series

Vibe Coding:
From Prototype to Product

10 sessions for non-technical founders who have built something with AI coding tools and want to turn it into a real product.

📅 May 19 – Jun 18, 2026⏱ Tue/Thu, 10–12 PST👥 15 seats max

If you've been trying to build with AI tools, you've probably considered one of these.

🛠

DIY with AI tools alone

The tools are cheap. The time is not. You can easily burn days figuring it out without help.

📺

Watch recorded training

Hunt for what you hope is a good one. No live help, no community, no one to ask when your build breaks.

🤝

Join a mastermind or accelerator

$400 to $700 a month for around six hours of mentor time. Strong on strategy. Light on the actual building.

💼

Hire a contractor

Non-trivial apps can run several thousand. Fast, but you own none of the skill, and every change costs you again.

Each of these paths has its place. This workshop series is for founders who want the skill, the app, and live help getting there.

What You Will Learn

Each session is two hours. Half teaching, half hands-on building.

1
Sequencing Your Build
You have an idea for what to build. Learn how to break it into pieces and tackle them in the right order so you do not end up with a mess you cannot untangle.
2
Troubleshooting and Debugging
Things will break. Learn how to read error messages, diagnose what went wrong, and guide the AI back on track without starting over.
3
Moving to Cursor and Version Control
Browser tools got you started. Cursor gives you real control over your project. Learn how to make the move and never lose your work again.
4
Design and User Experience
Stop settling for "it works but looks rough." Learn how to prompt for clean, professional interfaces that people actually want to use.
5
Working With Data
Right now your app forgets everything when you close it. Learn how to store, retrieve, and manage data so your tool works like a real product.
6
Adding AI to Your App
Build tools that think. Add chatbots, smart recommendations, content generation, and automated analysis to the things you build.
7
Connecting External Systems
Send emails, accept payments, sync with spreadsheets, pull in live data. This is where your app starts working with the rest of the world.
8
Authentication, Security, and Privacy
Before real people use your app, make sure they can log in safely and that you are not accidentally exposing their data.
9
Deployment
Your app works on your machine. Learn how to put it on the internet where anyone can access it, and keep it running reliably.
10
Collaboration and Handoff
You built it yourself, but now you need help. Learn how to bring in a developer without starting over from scratch.
