Proven Results
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This isn't just for experienced developers. It's for smart, hungry people who want to build with AI and launch something real without waiting for the perfect technical co-founder.
Sound Familiar?
If any of these resonate, you're in the right place:
You have a great idea but don't know where to start
You're stuck at 90% complete and can't figure out the last 10%
You need to understand the technical side without becoming a full developer
You want to launch something real, not just another tutorial project
Product Managers
Bridge the technical gap
Stop relying on developers to explain what's possible. Learn enough to make informed decisions, communicate effectively with your team, and ship features that actually work.
If you're thinking:
- "Tired of being in the dark about technical feasibility"
- "Need to make product decisions without technical background"
- "Want to communicate better with engineering teams"
- "Struggling to estimate timelines for AI features"
You'll walk away with:
Walk away with enough technical knowledge to confidently build with AI
Students & New Grads
Get ahead of the curve
Break into the AI industry with hands-on experience. Learn practical skills that bootcamps don't teach and build something you can actually show to employers.
If you're thinking:
- "Theoretical knowledge but no real-world experience"
- "Portfolio projects that look like everyone else's"
- "Struggling to stand out in a competitive job market"
- "Need practical skills that employers actually want"
You'll walk away with:
Graduate with a deployed AI application and the confidence to tackle real projects
Entrepreneurs
Launch without a technical co-founder
Stop waiting for the 'perfect' technical co-founder. Learn enough to build your MVP, validate your idea, and attract the right talent when you're ready to scale.
If you're thinking:
- "Great idea but no technical skills to execute"
- "Can't afford to hire a full development team"
- "Need to validate the concept before major investment"
- "Want to understand what you're building before delegating"
You'll walk away with:
Ship your MVP and prove market fit before scaling your team
The Bottom Line
You don't need to become a full-stack developer. You just need to know enough to make smart decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and ship something that works.
No fluff. No theory. Just practical skills to get your idea shipped.
