Outcomes

Come With an Idea. Leave With an App.

A private AI product launch intensive for non-technical founders. Everything in the two days points at one thing: a product that exists when you walk out.

  • A validated business idea

    One idea, pressure-tested in the room before a single screen gets built.

  • A clear customer

    Know exactly who it is for, what they struggle with, and what they would pay to solve.

  • A working MVP

    A real, functioning app you can open, click through, and show to someone.

  • Vibe coding skills

    A repeatable AI build workflow you keep using long after Vegas.

  • Founder feedback

    Direct, unfiltered reactions from other builders in the same room.

  • A launch roadmap

    The next concrete steps to get your product in front of real users.

    Validate

    Stress-test demand and scope with the room before writing a line of anything.

    Build

    Hands-on vibe coding sessions. Your product goes from blank screen to working.

  4. 04

    Test

    Put it in front of other founders. Watch them use it. Fix what breaks.

    Launch

    Ship it live and leave with a plan for the first users.

Working product each

Demo day

Nobody Leaves Without Showing What They Built.

At the end of the two days, every participant stands up and demonstrates their product live to the room.

  • 01

    The product

    What you built and how it works.

  • 02

    The problem

    Who it serves and why it needed to exist.

  • 03

    The current state

    What actually works right now, live.

  • 04

    The next step

    What happens after Vegas.

Perfection is not required.
Proof of execution is.

Rough edges are expected. A product that runs, solves something real, and can be shown to another human is the bar.

Who this is for

Built for Non-Technical Founders Who Refuse to Wait.

  • You have an app idea you have been sitting on for too long.

  • You want to turn your knowledge or expertise into software.

  • You want internal tools that make your existing business faster.

  • You want to validate a concept before spending money on developers.

  • You are done planning and ready to execute in a room built for it.

  • You want honest feedback from other founders, not applause.

Not for

  • Passive spectators
  • Agency pitching
  • Another networking mixer
