The Shift

Most people think building with AI takes months of learning and deep technical skills.

It doesn't.

With the right approach, AI can build the app for you—you just need to know how to guide it.

That's why we created the Starter Story Accelerator — a series of sprints where you'll learn to think like a developer, leverage AI tools, and build real, working products alongside a group of others.

Take Action

Focus, execute, repeat, win.

Our accelerators are NOT about some hack. They are about DOING.

Most beginners waste months stuck on technical roadblocks, tweaking buttons, and second-guessing themselves.

The best founders focus on building and shipping.

Our accelerators make that possible—without needing to master code first.

In just a few weeks, you'll go from idea to a real app, faster than ever.

And you won't be doing it alone. You'll be part of a group of founders, all sharing feedback, insights, and support every step of the way.

The Framework

Master The Art (& Science) Of Building with AI

Instead of wasting time on tutorials that show you how to build a random app you'll never use, our accelerators teach you how to think like a developer and actually use AI tools to build real, working products.

What You'll Learn

• AI-First Building: How to talk to AI so it builds the app for you.

• Scale Without Coding: The documentation-first approach that saves you weeks of trial and error.

• Design Like a Pro: Use design libraries and templates to make your app look legit.

• Debugging Made Easy: Problem-solving techniques so you're never stuck.

Our accelerators give you a clear framework to focus on the right things, get real feedback, and stay accountable.

The Operating System

This is way more than a course

We've custom built an operating system to help you stay focused, track your progress, and hit your milestones.

From deep work sessions to live metrics shared with the group, it's designed to keep you accountable and moving forward every single day.

Deep Work

Every day, you will intentionally start deep work sessions, you'll have confidence that you're working on the right things, and you'll have a daily plan of attack waiting for you.

Accountability

Momentum is everything. That's why we've built in accountability measures to ensure you show up every day—even if it's just 30 minutes.

Metrics & Tracking

Our scorecard keeps your progress visible to the group, giving you that extra push to keep those numbers climbing every day.

Feedback

Join weekly office hours with Pat, get feedback from successful founders, and feel clarity and confidence to move your ideas forward.

Word on the street

Here's what people are saying about their experience

Adam Rosato

The AI bootcamp has given me a whole new buzz. I’m waking up early to work on my project, jumping back into it at night, and even spending my weekends building because I genuinely want to. It’s opened my eyes to what’s possible with AI, helped me get much better at prompting, and finally let me test ideas I’ve been sitting on for years.

Abdul Bidiwi

LegacyTextAI

I started with 0 technical knowledge. By following the steps in the Starter Story program, I built and shipped my first tech product by myself within the week. More importantly, I know have a system, knowledge, and experience to do it again and again.

Manny Ureno

Amazing experience. The bootcamp cuts through all of the noise you hear online about vibe coding and helps you get straight into building.

Rahul Kahani

This got me moving forward on things I wish I started 3-4 months ago. Thank you!

Mattias Malki

Lebensstory

Just amazing. The structure, tasks, and gamified process has really pushed me to do the necessary work. It is just crazy good.

Devon Neill

The accountability and gamification in the bootcamp was such a good motivator. I finally launched my MVP. I also felt like I wasn't doing it alone, thanks to the good vibes and feedback from my cohort and the Starter Story team.

Ana M. Pricop

For Humainity

Pat & his team are so close to you during the experience. It felt like a performance sports team where we all work individually and together to make something great happen. Plus - the accountability, content & structure are top notch.

Denny Vuong

This bootcamp gave me the structure, focus, accountability and motivation I needed to get my first paid customer!

Joshua Sinclair

Repunix

We didn't just learn the theory, we put everything into practice through real-world projects. The bootcamp was challenging but well-paced, highly recommend.

James Newman

Would highly recommend joining if you're still on the fence about it. You will ship something and you will be pushed to do it. Stop overthinking it, and send it!

Johnson Ha

Great community, amazing members, and an accountability platform that ensures that each cohort is focused on shipping, building and growing a business idea.

Amy Porter

Syncly

This program is unique. You MUST do deep work. You are guided, week by week. It’s so great to finally get an outline that works, that doesn't give you time to get caught up in nonsense, and just prioritizes your time and efforts.

Jérôme

The AI bootcamp completely transformed my productivity through its accountability system. I accomplished more in one month than in the previous 4-5 months combined. Having to regularly share progress eliminated my excuses for procrastination and kept me focused on a single project instead of jumping between ideas.

Bryan Teare

If you’ve seen all the hype about AI but have no idea how to get started, this program is for you. There are so many built-in features to help you make progress - from countdown timers to dripped milestones, leaderboards, and prizes. All online courses should be delivered like this. If you're thinking about it, do it. You won't regret it.

Being part of the AI Build Bootcamp has been an amazing experience. I came in eager to dive into AI's latest capabilities, and I left with a fully launched project. Big thanks to Lazar and the Starter Story community for their support and for keeping all of us on track!

Teo Coste

The AI Bootcamp was a game-changer for me. I gained hands-on experience with tools like Lovable and Supabase, learned how to validate ideas, and built a real project. Clear, practical, and inspiring, highly recommended!

Jordan Castellani

MenoSync

This bootcamp gives you a roadmap and structure that sets any project up for success in terms of taking an idea and turning it into a real website/app/product. Once you have the framework, you can rinse and repeat until you hit 'that' idea.

Nicola Murru

It’s amazing how quickly you can build a real app without knowing any code (with auth, database, payments) just by following the prompts and tips from the camp. Hands down the best course I’ve ever taken!
