Go From Prototype to a Real, Working App with AI

FI Bootcamps are short, learning-focused programs designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs learn the core principles of specific topics. The FI Core program is a long, comprehensive startup accelerator that guides founders through the process of building a fundable, global and enduring business. In addition, all participants of FI Core programs also get free access to an FI Bootcamp, with 50% off thereafter.

This is an intermediate, pro-level bootcamp. You don't need any traditional coding experience, but you'll get the most out of it if you've already built a basic app or used a vibe coding tool before. We focus on going beyond the first prototype and into advanced techniques. If you're brand new to building with AI, we recommend starting with our intro vibe coding bootcamp first.

You don't need a startup idea, but you should come with an app or tool you want to build, since this is a hands-on program where you build something real. That could be a side project, an MVP for a startup, or a tool for your team. If you're not sure yet, we'll help you pick something in Session 1.

Replit is the primary build environment, used alongside an AI coding assistant such as Claude. You can use your preferred LLM throughout. Any costs associated with these tools are the responsibility of the bootcamp participants.

No special hardware is needed. A computer with a modern web browser and a stable internet connection is enough, since the tools you'll use run in the cloud. You do not need a powerful machine or a separate dedicated computer for this bootcamp.

There are 3 live sessions across the bootcamp: two hands-on builds and an AMA. All sessions will be recorded and available to re-watch. You can skip a session and watch the recording, but we recommend joining all sessions live to get the most out of the bootcamp: ask questions, get feedback, and network with the other builders in the cohort.

Yes, all bootcamp sessions will be recorded and you'll be able to watch them anytime at your convenience.

The bootcamp consists of 3 live sessions over a couple of weeks. Each session runs 60-90 minutes. Between sessions, you'll want to spend additional time building on your own app, since this is a hands-on program, but the core scheduled commitment is the live sessions themselves.

You don't need traditional coding experience, but this is an intermediate bootcamp. The tools are built for non-technical builders, and the sessions walk you through everything step by step. You'll get the most value if you've already built a simple app or used a vibe coding tool before.

Yes, every session you will have direct access to the instructor, who will give presentations, run live demos, and answer your questions.

It's simple - sign up with your name and email and pay the entrance fee.

Once the entrance fee is paid, participants are automatically enrolled in the bootcamp, and the fee is non-refundable. This policy is designed to encourage participants to commit fully and get the most out of the program.
