The 5-Day App Sprint
Build Your First AI-Powered App in 5 Days — One-on-One
Learn the 5-Step System to ship real apps with AI. Just you and a senior engineer.
Stop watching tutorials. Start shipping with AI.
The Problem With How You're Learning
You've tried YouTube tutorials. You've asked ChatGPT. You've downloaded Cursor and stared at the screen wondering what to do next.
"I've spent hours watching tutorials, pausing, fast-forwarding, and attempting to follow along. I still don't feel like I've learned much."
"I get the whole API concept, but I'm missing the technical foundation. Everyone's talking about 'vibe coding' but that feels incomplete."
"Relying 100% on AI may feel efficient, but it tends to dull your ability to think, understand, and debug."
"I just want to build without getting stuck in tutorial hell."
The problem isn't your intelligence. It's that nobody taught you the system.
The Real Issue Nobody Talks About
Most people fail at app development because they're trying to solve two problems at once:
- What should I build?
- How do I build it?
They jump into AI coding tools with a vague idea, generate a bunch of code they don't understand, hit errors they can't debug, and quit.
The tools aren't the problem. The lack of process is.
The 5-Step System You'll Learn
The same process used to ship 20+ apps and build products used by millions.
Day 1
DEFINE
Clarify what we're building, define the user and core features, create a Product Requirements Document, and eliminate scope creep before it starts.
Day 2
DESIGN
Map the user journey, review screen designs and user flow, understand the data structure, and make decisions that are cheap to change now.
Day 3
DEVELOP
Set up your dev environment, build core features using AI-assisted workflows, learn to prompt AI effectively, and debug errors with understanding.
Day 4
DEPLOY
Connect your database, configure hosting and deployment, handle SSL and environment variables, and push your app to a real public URL.
Day 5
DISTRIBUTE
Prepare your app for real users, set up analytics and error tracking, create a launch checklist, and plan how to iterate and grow.
What You Get
This isn't a course. It's not a webinar. It's not a group bootcamp. This is one-on-one.
Format
One-on-One (just you and your instructor)
Duration
5 sessions, 1 hour each
Delivery
Live via Zoom
Project
Pre-selected real-world app (not a toy project)
Outcome
Deployed app + repeatable system you can use forever
Why One-on-One Changes Everything
"A 10 minute conversation with someone who knows what they're doing can yield as much as grinding for 12 hours with AI-assisted coding."
This is 5 hours of that.
The Old Way (Group Learning)
- You're one of many — easy to fall behind
- Generic curriculum that doesn't fit your questions
- 10% show rate, massive overwhelm
- You leave with notes, not results
- Your specific questions go unanswered
The App Sprint Way (One-on-One)
- 100% focus on your progress
- Curriculum adapts to your level and questions
- 100% show rate — we scheduled it, you show up
- You leave with a real app and a real system
- Every question gets answered. Every confusion gets cleared.
Who This Is For
- Non-technical founders who want to understand app development before hiring
- Career switchers who want to build real things, not just watch tutorials
- "Vibe coders" who've been using AI but feel like they're moving blindly
- Anyone stuck in tutorial hell — learning but never shipping
- Professionals who work with engineers but want to speak the language
This is NOT for you if:
- You want someone to build the app FOR you (that's a different service)
- You're not willing to commit 1 hour/day for 5 days
- You already have a fully scoped custom app idea you need built

The Investment
The 5-Day App Sprint
$299
$199
Early Bird Price — Save $100
- 5 hours of live, one-on-one instruction
- The complete 5-Step App Development System
- A pre-selected project designed for learning
- Real-time debugging and problem-solving
- Direct access to a senior engineer
- A deployed, working application by Day 5
- The ability to repeat this process on any future project
That's less than $40/hour for private instruction from someone who's shipped apps to millions of users.
Reserve Your Spot — $199Compare that to:
$2,000+ "vibe coding" courses (pre-recorded, no support)
$150+/hour for freelance developer consultations
Months of wasted time on tutorials that don't stick
What You'll Walk Away With
A deployed application — live on a real URL
The 5-Step System — Define, Design, Develop, Deploy, Distribute
Actual understanding — not just AI-generated mystery code
Debugging skills — what to do when things break
Confidence — to keep building on your own
A foundation — to tackle your own app ideas next
