👥 Join 11,751 builders shipping apps with AI — without hiring a developer or designer.

The Shift

Most people think making money from an app means building something huge and complicated.

It doesn’t.

With the right approach, you can build one simple feature that solves a real problem — and get paying customers within hours.

That’s exactly what this bootcamp shows you how to do.

What You’ll Do

✅ Learn how to use AI inside Replit to build a real, working web app
✅ Integrate payments with Stripe so you can accept real money from day one
✅ Deploy your app live on your own domain
✅ Use a repeatable framework to keep launching more apps in the future

And you’ll do it inside a motivated cohort of builders — all shipping and selling alongside you.

Take Action

Stop learning. Start earning.

The First Sale Bootcamp is about doing.

You’ll skip the endless “learning” phase and go straight to launching — with a clear process, daily structure, and a real deadline.

It’s cohort-based, so you’ll be building with a group — but the learning materials are async, so you can go at your own pace (even with a full-time job).

Inside the Operating System

✅ Daily build plans that remove guesswork and keep you moving fast
✅ Live leaderboard + milestones to stay accountable and motivated
✅ Hands-on support via Slack and weekly office hours when you’re stuck

You won’t get lost in tutorials. You’ll build, launch, and get ready for customers — all in under a week.

    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

    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

    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

    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!
