Scope
Define the product, the core user flows and the data model — a real plan, not a pitch deck.
FOR NON-TECHNICAL FOUNDERS
Ship the product.
Keep the equity, and the control.
Turn your idea into a launched, revenue-ready product in 8–12 days — built with you, 1-on-1, so you own it, understand it, and never hand your startup to an agency.

THE REAL BLOCKER
Your idea is hostage to someone else's roadmap
The idea is yours — but the build isn't. An agency wants five figures and months to hand you a product you can't change without paying them again; a technical co-founder wants a slice of the company. Either way, the thing in your head stays stuck behind someone else's timeline and someone else's price.
HOW THE MENTORSHIP WORKS
Scope it. Vibe-code it. Ship it.
A focused path from a clear plan to production software, with direct guidance at every decision.
Vibe-code
Build the actual Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with AI, steered by a senior mentor beside you, so it gets made and you learn how.
Ship
Launch a live, revenue-ready product — with payments wired in — that you own and control outright.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
A product, not a proposal
Practical outcomes you can use, own and build on after the mentorship ends.
A launched, revenue-ready Minimum Viable Product (MVP) — live and taking users
Payment and subscription setup — ready to charge from day one
A product you fully control — change it yourself, no agency retainer
The core build skills — so version two doesn't need anyone else
Back-end and data done right — Supabase, authentication and real architecture
Validation in the market — a real thing to test, not a mockup
THE QUESTION YOU MAY BE ASKING
“I'm non-technical — I can't build a real product.”
You don't write the code from scratch — you describe and direct it, and a senior developer-designer is beside you for every decision. Founders ship real products this way; you leave with the product and the understanding to run it.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Straight answers before you start
What to expect from the mentorship, the build and the time commitment.
Can I really launch a Minimum Viable Product without a technical background?
Yes — the program is built for non-technical founders. You learn AI-assisted, vibe-coding methods and ship a real product, guided the whole way.
Will I own and control what we build?
Completely. No agency retainer, no locked code — you leave owning the product and knowing how to change it.
Will you build the app for me?
No — this is mentorship, not a done-for-you agency. You build it, guided 1-on-1, which is exactly why you keep control afterwards.
Can it handle payments and real users?
Yes — payment, subscription setup and security are part of the program, so you launch revenue-ready.
How long until I've launched?
A shipped Minimum Viable Product in 8–12 days across five focused modules, at a pace that fits around you.
