Build it with AI. Validate it with customers. Turn it into a business.
AI-powered development tools have dramatically lowered the barriers to building digital products. Today, almost anyone can create a website, application, SaaS platform, or working prototype without extensive programming experience.
However, building an application is not the same as building a startup.
The real challenge is identifying a problem worth solving, developing a product customers actually need, finding a viable business model, attracting users, and generating revenue.
The proposed programme combines practical vibe coding and AI-assisted product development with startup fundamentals, customer validation, marketing, and sales.
Participants will work on their own startup ideas throughout the programme, progressing from an initial concept to a functional MVP and a realistic go-to-market strategy.
The programme builds on the attached Founder’s Handbook outline, retaining its core direction: AI development → product → business model → marketing → sales. It also incorporates the proposed hands-on workshops and mentor expertise, while adding customer validation, MVP testing, and launch readiness as essential steps.
Entry requirements: No advanced programming knowledge is necessary. Participants should have a startup idea, a problem they want to solve, or a strong motivation to identify one. Basic digital literacy and willingness to experiment with AI tools are expected.
