Choose the one thing worth finishing
We narrow the scope to one business problem, define what done means, and cut everything that does not help you ship it.
The six-week AI build cohort
Finish the thing your business is already waiting for.
Take the thing you already half-built — the spreadsheet that runs the business, the automation that half works, the tool that only runs on your laptop — and turn it into a working system your team or customers actually use.
- One specific build, scoped before week one.
- Live implementation—not more theory to consume.
- Running with real users and real data by demo day.

The backstory
Starting got easy.
Finishing did not.
You saw a real problem costing the business time, leads, or money. So you built a fix with whatever was at hand: an AI coding tool, a no-code flow, a spreadsheet that grew into the system.
It runs. It may even look good. But it is not reliable enough to hand off, clear enough for a second user, or connected enough to replace the workaround.
The prototype proved the idea. Now the job is to make the idea survive contact with the business.
Capstone is the room where that last part gets done—with scope, deadlines, real users, and two people who ship these systems for clients every week.
Here is exactly what you get
The build loop
Every part of the cohort moves the same project closer to daily use.
Build live, with us in the room
One working session each week, a fixed office-hours slot, and direct help when your build hits the awkward last 20%.
Put it in front of real users
You test with the actual people, data, and workflow it was built for. Demo day is the thing running—not a deck about it.
Client results
We do this work in the real world.
What clients say after building production systems with our team.
“They exceeded all expectations. They are true experts in this field, delivering high-quality work with precision and efficiency.”
“They delivered high quality work and were super organised throughout the whole project. Their developers have superb knowledge of both WeWeb and Xano.”
“They built a clean, scalable backend that now powers our real estate enquiry responder system. Their ability to align technical work with business goals made a big impact.”
Read this before you apply
This works when the problem is real.
This is for you if
- Your business already generates revenue.
- You have one specific, half-built thing in mind. A spreadsheet counts.
- You are willing to test it with the people who will use it.
- You want to build hands-on, not outsource the thinking.
This is not for you if
- You are starting a business from zero.
- You want a general course on learning to code.
- You want someone else to build it while you disappear.
- You are not ready to narrow the scope.

The application
Sell us your build.
Nine questions, one outcome: by the last answer your build is scoped — what it is, where it stalled, and what done means. That is the same exercise we open the cohort with, and it is exactly where your fit call starts.
Your answers do the screening. We read everything before the call. Direct beats polished.
Before you start
Ten minutes that double as week zero.
By the last answer you will have scoped your build — and answering well is the fastest way to a yes. Two ways in:
The AI path is the move we teach all cohort: put the model inside the process, keep the human on the decisions. Consider it exercise zero.
Your build, your words
The business, the thing you started, where it stalled, what you want working six weeks from now. As long as you like — bullets, rants, Spanglish, all fine.
AI drafting isn't reachable right now — no problem. Continue step by step below; your writeup travels with the application either way.
Claude drafts every answer from this — you review each one before anything is sent.

Your cohort leads
Built by people who finish the awkward projects.
David Yu has more than a decade of senior engineering experience. Gonzalo Javier Rodriguez is a product designer turned software builder. Together, we build internal tools, automations, and client systems that have to hold up after the demo.
You are getting our real delivery process: narrow the problem, build the smallest useful version, test it in context, and keep going until people use it.
Q&A
Questions
What if I am not accepted?
Your deposit is refunded in full. No hard feelings and no sales runaround.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You do need to be willing to drive the build with AI, make decisions, and work hands-on with us.
Is this a course?
No. There is no giant recorded curriculum. It is a small live cohort focused on getting one real system into use.
What if my project changes during the cohort?
We expect the build to evolve after real use. We protect the core outcome and adjust the route without letting the scope sprawl.
What happens after six weeks?
You leave with the system running. Ongoing maintenance or done-for-you support can be scoped separately if you want it.
How much time does it take each week?
Plan for 4–6 focused hours: one live working session, one office-hours slot, and the time you put into your own build. Slots are fixed weekly and scheduled with the cohort, so they work across time zones.
What if I haven't started building yet?
You can still qualify. Half-built is the common case, not a requirement — we screen for a real business, one specific problem, and the commitment to ship. The fit call settles it.
Can I get my deposit back if I change my mind?
Yes — in full, any time before your fit call. The deposit is there to make sure everyone in the room is serious, not to lock you in.
