Starter Story Build
With AI, You Can Build Anything
We'll help you master the most valuable skill of the next decade.

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.

Here's what people are saying about their experience

I made more progress in the last 35 days than in 35 years prior. I went from having 100 ideas and 0 execution, to 1 idea and 100% ship fast mentality. I owe it all to a few moments of encouragement that I never got before, not for the lack of skill, but for the lack of trying. Don't wait. Start tonight. LFG!!!

I achieved my goal of launching. And I've never come this close. Deep work feels like it's a part of how I operate now. And I love it. I would wake up every morning at 4am, log into starter story and get my deep work in, I hit the gym at 6am PST, and I've already won the day no matter what happens after that. Grateful.

Being part of the AI Build Accelerator 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!

If you’ve seen all the hype about AI but have no idea where or how to get started, this program is for you. Not only is the content helpful and easy to follow, but 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.

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.

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

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!

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