★ What you walk out with

By sundown. Not "soon."

One day is the constraint. The output is real.

Your idea, built and live by sundown

A real URL you can share before you leave the room.

Claude Code or any other AI tool

Bring whichever one you already use. We meet you where you are.

A plan-build-ship loop you can run solo

Use it on your own ideas, any night you open a laptop.

Mentor unblocking, four other builders shipping

The "why is this error in red" moments solved fast. The group chat that keeps going.

★ How the cohort works

Before you walk in,
we already know what you're building.

You don't show up on Saturday and figure out your idea on Saturday. By the time you arrive, you've had a call, picked a direction, and got a plan written for you. That's why one day is enough.

01

You apply

2 minutes. We read every application personally.
02

Discovery call

~30 minutes. What do you want to learn? What would you build if the day went perfectly? Saturday only works when it's pointed at your real answers to those two questions. No pitch - just listening.
03

Your custom plan

You get back a written brief with three build directions scoped specifically to you - what each one teaches, what you walk out with, and which one we'd pick. You choose by Wednesday.
04

Saturday

You arrive with a chosen direction. We arrive with the build plan already written into CLAUDE.md. By sundown, it's live.

Want to see what a plan actually looks like? Here's a real one from our last cohort - names changed, content as-is.

★ Saturday, July 11

The day.

Three stages. Walk in at 9:30, walk out by sundown.

PLAN

09:30 — 12:30

Scope your idea. Wireframe on paper. Hand it to your AI for a build plan.

BUILD

13:30 — 17:00

Execute the plan phase by phase. Mentor walks the room, unblocks errors.

SHIP

17:00 — sundown

Deploy to Vercel. Demo to the room. Walk out with a live URL.

★ Honest signposting

Who this is for.

This is for you if

You've tried Claude Code / Antigravity / Cursor and walked away when it broke.
You've been telling yourself you'll "learn this properly" for six months.
You design products for a living and want to build one of your own - without hiring an engineer.
You can write a clear sentence about what you want, and you're tired of the gap between that and a working thing.

This is NOT for you if

You've never opened a code editor or used an AI tool in your life - start with the Professional cohort instead.
You want to learn computer science fundamentals - this is shipping practice, not curriculum.
You want certificates or grades - we believe in shipped products, not paper.

★ Your mentor for the day

Pradeep Siddappa

15 years designing products at Intuit, Goldman, and Chiblu. Founded Designers Who Build because the gap between "I could build that" and "I shipped that" is mostly a coaching problem - not a talent one. On Saturday you'll have one designer in the room whose job is to close that gap, one wall at a time.
