Vibecode a Unicorn that Agents Can Run
You don't need a co-founder, a dev team, or funding to start. In three live sessions with Adeo Ressi, you scope a big idea, build the product yourself with AI, and put agents to work running it.
-
Built for founders who would rather ship a product than polish a pitch deck -
You have years of industry expertise and an idea, but no technical co-founder to build it -
You are a solo founder who wants agents doing the work a first team of hires would do -
You already use AI tools every day and want to turn that skill into a real company
-
A unicorn-sized idea, scoped: pressure-tested for market size and cut down to a first product you can build now -
A working product you built yourself with AI, live and shareable by link -
Your first AI agent on the job, doing real work in your business so you don't have to -
A blueprint for which parts of your company agents run and which stay with you -
Direct feedback from Adeo Ressi on what you built, and a clear plan for what to build next

Frequently Asked Questions
Vibecode a Unicorn that Agents Can Run Bootcamp FAQ
-
No. You build with vibe-coding tools, which turn plain-language instructions into working software. If you can describe what you want clearly, you can build it.
-
No. The bootcamp is designed for a single founder. You learn which jobs AI agents can take on, so you can get to a working product and first customers before you hire anyone.
-
Arrive with one, even a rough one. Session 1 is where you test it for size and cut it down to a first product, so your idea can change during the bootcamp.
-
A working product you can share by link, at least one AI agent doing a real job in your business, and feedback from Adeo Ressi on where to take it next.
-
If you want theory, or you are not ready to build between sessions, this is not the right fit. Each session assumes you did the work from the one before.
-
There are 3 live one-hour sessions. Plan for additional time between sessions to build. The more you build, the more useful the final review is.
-
We recommend joining all 3 sessions live so you can ask questions and get feedback. Sessions are recorded and available to re-watch.
-
Complete a brief application and pay the entrance fee. In the application, you answer a few questions about your background and the idea you want to build.
Bootcamp FAQs
-
All FI bootcamps consist of (1) live feedback and training sessions with experts, (2) a comprehensive catalogue of self-serve videos and training materials, (3) powerful AI tools to help you make progress, and (4) a structured, step-by-step series of "sprints" to guide you through your learning, all delivered via our proprietary "FounderGen" online learning platform.
-
The FI Agentic program is a comprehensive 10 session program, followed by a series of advanced accelerators, to help pre-seed founders build a fundable, enduring business for the full lifecycle of their company. Alternatively, FI bootcamps are short, intense, focused educational programs around specific topics relevant to entrepreneurs. Bootcamps are designed to be both standalone AND complimentary to the FI Agentic program.
-
Yes - all bootcamp participants receive the video recording shortly after each bootcamp session.
-
Enrolled Founders are able to enroll in one bootcamp for free and additional bootcamps with a 50% discount. These bootcamps are designed to provide even more value, feedback, and connections to the founders in our accelerator programs worldwide.
-
Yes - but only participants that complete all of the bootcamp sprints will receive certificates. Simply attending the live sessions is not enough. All FI programs are intensive and designed to push you to make real progress, so you'll only get a certificate if you actually do the work!
-
Yes! The programs are meant to be complimentary. However, if you are going through FI Agentic you will be expected to complete all the sprints and attend all the sessions just like everyone else in your cohort, whether or not you are going through a bootcamp. So if the live bootcamp session conflicts with the live FI Agentic session, you should definitely attend the live FI Agentic session instead and watch the bootcamp video afterwards.
-
The bootcamps are virtual and can be attended online.
-
No, there is no equity component to the bootcamps.
-
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 founders to take the leap and begin their startup journey. By making this commitment, participants overcome procrastination and take a crucial step toward building their business and achieving success. If you pay for the Agentic Program and also participate in a bootcamp, your Agentic Program refund (if applicable) will be reduced by the cost of the bootcamp.
-
Yes! You will be able to log in to your account on the FounderGen platform at any time in the future to access your work and all the resources provided throughout the bootcamp. What's more - your learning dashboard will even grow over time with all the new resources and AI tools that FI continues to release.
