Stop Prototyping.
Start Shipping.
A high-intensity 1:1 coaching program built around one principle — market validation first, theory never.You learn by doing: real users, real feedback, real product, shipped in 8 weeks.
Built for Serious
Founders
You're a good fit if...
- You have a market problem you want to solve, but haven't built a startup before
- You're a domain expert (doctor, lawyer, designer, etc.) who wants to apply AI to your field
- You have an early idea but don't know how to validate it before spending months on development
- You're committed to dedicating 15–20 hrs/week to build something real
- You want to ship independently without hiring a team
This isn't for you if...
- You want someone else to build your product for youRequest Build arrow_forward
- You're looking for a general coding bootcamp or theoretical AI course
- You want to learn AI concepts without any intent to ship a product
- You expect guaranteed results without putting in the work
- You already have a full team and just need execution help
The 8-Week Journey
Every phase is designed to generate real signals from the market — not just deliverables on a slide. You do the work. I guide every step.
Problem & Market Validation
Before you build anything
The biggest mistake founders make is building before validating. We spend the first two weeks stress-testing your assumption with real market signals: user interviews, competitor teardowns, market sizing, and a technical feasibility check. By the end, you'll know definitively whether to build, pivot, or kill the idea — before writing a single line of code.
- check5+ user discovery interviews (scripted & coached)
- checkCompetitive landscape map
- checkProblem-Solution fit hypothesis documented
- checkGo / No-go decision framework
Core Feature Validation
Focus on essential value
Instead of spending weeks on complex UX design, we use AI coding tools to rapidly build the core features that deliver your product's primary value. This allows you to test a functional prototype with real users immediately and validate your core assumptions early.
- checkCore Value Proposition (CVP) logic design
- checkRapid functional builds using AI tools like Cursor
- checkMarket validation with a working prototype
Build the MVP
Production-ready, not throwaway
This is the core of the program. Using modern AI-powered development tools, you'll build a full-stack, production-ready MVP — not a toy demo. I teach you everything: setting up your GitHub repo, connecting AI APIs, building the frontend with AI assistance (Google Antigravity IDE), wiring up Firebase backend, integrating Stripe payments, and setting up email. Real startup infrastructure.
- checkFull-stack web app with auth & onboarding
- checkAI feature integration (OpenAI / Anthropic API)
- checkPayment system (Stripe)
- checkEmail automation & transactional flows
- checkDeployed & live on custom domain
GTM & Iteration
Get real users, fast
Shipping is just the beginning. We build your go-to-market system: a landing page optimized for conversion, content strategy for organic acquisition, targeted outreach scripts, and analytics setup. Every channel is tracked from day one so you can iterate fast based on real user behavior — not assumptions.
- checkConversion-optimized landing page
- checkContent & community-led acquisition playbook
- checkCold outreach & partnership scripts
- checkAnalytics & funnel tracking (GA4)
- checkFirst iteration based on real user data
What You Actually Get
Weekly 1:1 Sessions
60–90 min deep-dive sessions every week. Not vague office hours — structured sessions with a clear agenda, review of your work, and specific next steps.
Async Support
Slack/messaging access throughout the week. When you're stuck on a bug or a critical decision, you'll get a response within 30 minutes during core hours. Speed is the whole point.
Troubleshooting & Tech Support
When you're stuck on a bug or error that won't resolve, I'll directly review your code and solve it for you. Beyond just providing a fix, I'll share the root cause and the problem-solving process using AI, so you can learn the mindset to break through blockers on your own.
Validation Coaching
I've run JTBD interviews, analyzed funnels, and iterated matching logic based on real user data. I'll teach you the same frameworks I used across Trachemy, Genkle, FTJA, and TSF.
GTM Playbook
Custom-built, not templated. Your acquisition strategy is built around your specific audience, channels, and product — from Reddit community plays to cold LinkedIn outreach sequences.
Launch & Post-launch
We don't disappear at launch day. The final weeks focus on reading your analytics, iterating on user feedback, and setting up your growth loop for what comes next.
Why Learn
From Me?
I'm not a career coach or a theorist. I've been in the trenches — founded PLACES (raised $400K pre-seed), shipped 4 AI products from scratch, achieved 1M+ market impressions in a single GTM launch, and delivered $1.3M cost reduction at Samsung Electronics. Every lesson I teach comes from a real mistake or a real win.
"I built Trachemy, Genkle, FTJA, and TSF while running JTG.ai. I will share the 'success patterns' I've learned while overcoming different stacks, market environments, and constraints in our sessions."

Common Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No prior coding experience is required. With modern AI-assisted development tools like Google Antigravity, founders with zero coding background can ship production-ready products. What matters is your domain expertise and commitment to learning by doing.
What if my idea doesn't survive the validation phase?
That's a success, not a failure. Killing a bad idea in week 2 saves you months of wasted effort and money. We'll use what we learned to pivot to a stronger hypothesis and keep moving. Most founders come out of the validation phase with a sharper, more defensible idea than they started with.
Can 8 weeks really produce a production-ready product?
Yes — if you're focused. Trachemy went from idea to 250+ users in its first month. Genkle went from zero to a full STT + AI pipeline with social acquisition automated. The key is ruthless prioritization: we build only what's needed for validation, nothing else.
How many hours per week do I need to commit?
Minimum 15–20 hours per week. This is a serious program, not a passive course. You'll have weekly sessions with me and significant build/research work in between. If you can't commit that time, the program isn't right for you right now.
Is the $3,000/mo price fixed?
$3,000/month is the base starting point for the standard 8-week program. Complex products (AI-heavy architecture, Web3, multi-sided markets), extended engagements, or founders who need deeper involvement will be priced custom during our intro call.
What types of products can I build?
Anything SaaS, AI, or tech-enabled. Past products I've built or mentored span EdTech, HRTech, FinTech, Web3, and consumer apps. The tools remain consistent — the domain expertise is yours to bring.
