a step-by-step
10-week program

Transform your software skills into a simple online biz that brings extra $1K/month of profit.

One thing a day

This 10-week program only asks you to do one thing a day. It's designed for busy software engineers with day jobs and families.

Software stack provided

git clone a fully-functional Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) app with frontend, backend, database, authentication & payment processing. The software stack leverages Google Cloud Platform's free tier to run for free almost indefinitely, and yet scales effortlessly as you grow. Use it as-is to make your first $1, then tweak and upgrade it to make $1K/month and launch more businesses.

Business stack provided

Step-by-step business modules pair with the software modules to guide you through topics like...
  • idea generation
  • product design
  • market research
  • customer acquisition
  • business model
  • sales funnel
  • marketing
  • positioning
  • pricing
  • copywriting
  • scaling up
... essentially, the missing ingredients in your formal education preventing you from "printing money" with your software skills. I.e., "How to make something people want to buy and sell it."

Your ideas + side projects
