Self-paced course for non-technical founders

Stop Vibe Coding.
Start Shipping.

Building apps used to require a team of developers and a fat budget. Not anymore. We teach you the method — AI does the heavy lifting. You ship a real product with auth, database, payments, and deployment. Minimal code. Maximum output.

Shipped Product

Built by Mark Cijo — founder who shipped 5+ products using this exact framework.

The S.H.I.P. Framework

You learn the method. AI writes the code. Four phases that turn an idea into a live, revenue-generating product — without hiring developers or learning to code from scratch.

S

Scout

Know your market before you build

Research competitors, validate pain points, and verify data sources. Most founders skip this and build something nobody wants. You won't.

H

Harden

Pressure test everything

Score your idea across 10 dimensions. Build a financial model. Map user journeys. If it doesn't survive the SHIP Score, it shouldn't survive your bank account.

I

Implement

Build with a professional stack

Scaffold your project with the same tools professional developers use. Next.js, Supabase, TypeScript — with AI as your coding partner, not your crutch.

P

Publish

Deploy, monetize, and grow

Ship to production with real payments, real analytics, and a real launch plan. Not a localhost demo — a live product making money.

What You'll Build

8 modules. 16.5 hours. One fully shipped product with auth, database, payments, and deployment.

What Founders Are Saying

I went from 'I have an idea' to a live app with paying users in 6 weeks. The SHIP Score alone saved me from building the wrong thing.

Sarah K.
Non-technical founder

Other courses taught me to prompt ChatGPT. This one taught me to actually build. My app has real auth, a real database, and real payments.

D
David M.
Solo entrepreneur

The scaffolding approach changed everything. Instead of staring at a blank screen, I had a professional project structure from day one.

The Old Way Is Dead

Before: Building a real app meant hiring a team of developers, spending $50K-$200K, and waiting 6-12 months. If you didn't have money or a technical co-founder, your idea stayed an idea.

Now: AI writes the code. You provide the direction. But “vibe coding” — prompting without a method — gives you demos that break the moment a real user touches them. No auth, no error handling, hardcoded keys, zero tests.

The Ship Method bridges the gap. We teach you the methodology. AI does the heavy lifting. You ship a professional-grade product — with auth, database, payments, and deployment — at a fraction of the old cost and timeline.
