For early-stage founders, launching a working MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is one of the most effective ways to test a startup idea, attract early users, and build momentum.
Yet too many founders get stuck. They spend months researching, planning, or searching for a technical co-founder—without ever launching something people can try.
That’s why the Founder Institute is launching the Vibe Coding Bootcamp: a fast-paced, highly practical program designed to help early-stage founders scope, build, and launch a working MVP in just two weeks—without needing to write a single line of code.

As AI tools and prompt engineering become essential parts of a modern founder’s toolkit, this program also shows you how to use them to build faster, smarter, and with more confidence.
About the Vibe Coding Bootcamp
The Vibe Coding Bootcamp is a two-week, fully online program for motivated founders who want to turn their startup ideas into working products.
Rather than focusing on theory or long-term planning, this program is built to help you ship—by combining modern no-code tools, AI agents, and expert guidance in a structured, time-bound format.
What You’ll Learn and Do
Participants in the Vibe Coding Bootcamp will follow a proven, step-by-step process to:
-
Define and properly scope a minimum viable product
-
Use AI agents and prompt engineering to accelerate development
-
Build and launch a real MVP using modern no-code and low-code tools
-
Attract early users and test key business assumptions
-
Get live feedback from mentors, experts, and fellow builders
-
Decide whether or not to pursue their idea further—based on real user data
By the end of the program, you will have a functional product in the hands of real users, and the clarity to move forward—or pivot—with confidence.
Who Should Apply
This bootcamp is ideal for:
-
Non-technical founders who want to launch without hiring a developer or co-founder
-
Aspiring entrepreneurs who want to test an idea before investing serious time or capital
-
Technical builders who want to use AI to accelerate shipping and iterate faster
-
Anyone who wants to stop theorizing and start building
The program is intentionally lightweight and highly focused. It’s designed for busy professionals, side-hustlers, and new founders who want real progress, not just information.
