The Builder's Sprint — In six weeks, your child ships a real product

The Gap

Today, your child knows how to study for a test. Most haven't built something real for consumers

Tuition and test prep won't change that. Thanks to AI, the barriers of the last decade are gone. The next decade rewards doers, not thinkers.

Why Now

A few years ago this took a team. Now it takes your child and the right tools

The teenagers who learn this now spend the next decade ahead of their classmates, and ahead of most adults, who haven't done it either.

Built on AI from day one

Your child doesn't spend weeks learning to code before they're allowed to build. They start building in the first session — with Claude as their partner — and learn how software actually works by making something real with it.

The Transformation

From an idea to a product they can show you

One measure: what your child has built at the end of six weeks

Before the Sprint

A vague interest. "I think I want to do something with tech."
Has never made anything beyond a school assignment.
Has never spoken to a real customer.
Waits to be told what to do next.

After Six Weeks

A live AI-powered product at a real URL. Anyone can open it.
It's been in front of real people, with feedback to show for it.
Payments set up, ready to charge for what they made.
A clear answer to "who is this for?", because they asked.
They know how to start something and finish it, without being told.

How It Works

Five stages, across six weeks

No theory week. Every session ends with something made

01The Idea

Sharpen a raw idea and pressure-test it before building anything.

Problem framingSWOT analysisNeed vs. want

02Market Research & Validation

Talk to real users and check real demand data before committing.

Customer discoveryKeyword & demand researchSurvey creation

03Build

Build a working product on the same stack professionals use, with AI. The deepest stage of the program.

04Go-to-Market: Users & Payment

Put it in front of real users and set up the ability to take a payment.

What They Walk Away With

Not a certificate. A product

01

A college portfolio asset

For students headed to college, a live product with real users is more compelling on an application than any certificate.

02

Confidence that outlasts the program

For students still figuring out their direction, the bigger prize is internal: they'll stop wondering whether they can build something from nothing, because now they have.

Who's Behind It

Taught by people who've actually built things, not people who only teach

Your child won't be taught build-a-startup theory by a teacher who's never run one. The Builder's Sprint is run by two people who've built and shipped products, run startups, designed programs for students, and worked across the world.

Ashok · The AI Build

Former co-founder of DriveU, one of India's most recognized on-demand platforms. An American citizen, US-educated, he's spent the last decade building products for the Indian market — and today he builds and runs live AI-powered products on the exact stack your child will use. He's hit every error your child will hit.

Nimish · Idea, Validation & Go-to-Market

20+ years in product and growth, including scaling redBus from 500,000 to 5 million users. MBA from Thunderbird in the US, and founder of Dekoding Brilliance, where he builds education programs for high-schoolers. In the Sprint, he makes your child answer the question: does anyone actually want this?

Guest Speakers

Founders and operators who've taken an idea from zero to a product people actually pay for — the kind behind apps and startups you already know. They join small working sessions where the students ask the questions. Not panels. Conversations.

FAQs

My child has never coded?

Almost none of them have. They build with Claude from the first session and learn how software works by making it, not by studying it first.

How much time per week?

Two live sessions and two office hours — 4–5 scheduled hours per week — plus their own build time. It's a real commitment.

What happens to the product afterward?

Nothing gets switched off. The domain, hosting, and backend stay theirs, with a 30-day plan to keep going.

Is this only for future founders?

No. The prize is confidence and initiative, and those travel into engineering, medicine, law, anything. The startup is just the best way we know to teach them.

Will my child actually make a sale?

Honestly, we can't promise that — a sale is the market's call. What we promise: a working product, online, in front of real people, set up to take a payment. The sale is what they reach for. The build is what they keep.
