Idea to App

Oct 5, 2026 12pm to Nov 18, 2026 1pm

What used to take a co-founder, six months, and a developer’s paycheck now takes six lunch hours a week.

Idea to App is a six-week, application-based cohort for people who have a real problem to solve and are ready to build the solution themselves. Using AI-assisted development (vibe coding), you’ll take your idea from a page of notes to a working, deployed application — with hands-on coaching support every step of the way. No developer required. No coding background needed.

This is for founders without a technical co-founder, operators who know exactly what tool their work is missing, and anyone who left Intro to Vibe Coding wanting to go further.

**What you’ll leave with:**

1. A working, deployed application built around your own idea
2. Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development you can keep using
3. A clear next step for your business — not just a demo

**Details:**

* Cohort: October 5 – November 18 (six weeks, lunch-hour sessions)
* Format: Weekly hands-on sessions with individual coaching support — no coding background needed
* Audience: Founders without a developer, operators with a specific tool idea, and Intro to Vibe Coding alumni ready to go further
* Application: Apply by September 28 — space is limited to keep coaching support hands-on for every participant

Bring your idea. Leave with your app.
