AI is advancing at record speed and amazing tools are coming out every day that help non-technical founders build MVPs - Loveable, Replit, etc. But there's still a limit to what AI can do and there's definitely a limit to what a non-technical founder, even one with training in these tools, can do with AI.

Here's what we noticed - we talk to about 40 founders a month:

• About 10 are doing something so technically trivial that tools like Loveable are perfect for them. We send them in that direction and don't let them spend money on developers.
• About 11 are doing something so complicated that they definitely need a CTO and some developers to build an MVP and it might even take a couple of months.
• About 15 are doing something of 'average' complexity - they need a CTO for a few hours here and there and maybe a little bit of help.

But about 4 are doing something right in the middle - right at the edge of what AI can do - something that they can probably do themselves but it would take them a few weeks or months, cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars in AI tokens and cause a lot of headaches and will likely be a mess at the end.

Or they can do the worst option - hire some scammy dev shop and waste thousands of dollars - $10k, $20k, even $60k+.

This program is for these 10% of founders.

Here's what we're offering -

1. Talk to us and see if you fall into the 10%. If not, no problem - we'll point you in the right direction.
2. But if you are a good fit, sit down with a real CTO for AN ENTIRE DAY (like 9AM to 7PM, in person or virtual depending on your location, can be broken up into multiple days if needed) and come out at the end with a fully functioning MVP. Built with AI, using very expensive tools, but overseen by someone who knows how to use them very effectively.
3. At the end, you will have a real MVP with really good code. Code that you can take and give to any developer or do anything you want with. It will have a proper architecture, a proper database, auth, emails, security and everything else your MVP needs, with none of the problems you hear about with vibe coding. And it would all be owned by YOU - all the code, all the tools, all the assets, all the hosting - all yours.
4. Yes, it costs money but it will be money very well spent. It will save you weeks to months, it will save you so many headaches, and it will save you thousands of dollars vs hiring any sort of developer to build this for you.

We have three flavors of this program:

1. MVP In A Day - The original. Go from zero to a fully functioning MVP in a day (maybe 2 or 3). This is for founders who haven't started building yet or are very early.
2. Architecture Review - Already building something but want to sit down with a super technical CTO and course correct your architecture and design patterns before it's too late? This full-day deep dive will save you from expensive mistakes down the road.
3. Follow-On Day - Already did an MVP In A Day (or an Architecture Review)? Come back with all the feature requests that are too complex to tackle on your own and we'll build them together, the right way.

Pricing is simple:

Follow-on days apply whether it's part of the initial MVP build (day 2, day 3, etc.) or months later when you're ready to add more features.

• In person or remote - if you're near Boston, we can do this in person at Venture Lane. Otherwise, we'll do it over video call - works just as well.
• Flexible scheduling - a "day" can be broken up into two 4-hour chunks on separate days if that works better for your schedule.
• Half-day follow-ons - don't need a full day? You can book a half-day follow-on for $1,000.

And we have plenty of referrals and testimonials and people you can talk to. And everything we do aligns with our non-profit mission.

There's absolutely no commitment - if you think you're a good fit, skip right to application form. If you're not sure, let's chat first.
