Turn your expertise into an AI product your clients will pay for.
One you can stand behind, sleep soundly running, and actually grow. The 6-week live cohort where coaches, consultants, and service providers take a real AI product from build plan to launch — secure, sustainable, and ready to earn.
"Building the app was never the hard part. The hard part is making something you can put your name on, sleep soundly running, and actually grow. That's what we build with you."
— Polly Allen & Yuying Chen-Wynn, Escape Velocity
Building a software app is the easy part.
Built something. Nobody's buying it.
You've seen the vibe coding videos. Maybe tried Lovable or Cursor. Built something in an afternoon. But nobody's paying for it, you're not sure it's secure, and you don't know if it's the RIGHT product for your business. You're an AI user, not an AI product builder.
Ship fast, figure it out later.
Revenue screenshots without context. $1M challenge videos. Black backgrounds and neon gradients. Advice optimized for startup founders, not for someone with 200 coaching clients and a reputation on the line. 45% of AI-generated code has security vulnerabilities. Thousands of apps leaking data.
Your expertise, earning while you sleep.
Your framework. Your methodology. The assessment you run in your sleep. All of it can become software that serves your clients without you in the room. Maggie Mae did exactly that — $23K in her first 60 days, $300/month to run it, zero coding background. You don't need to become a developer. You need to know WHAT to build, confirm someone will PAY, and build it SAFELY.
6 weeks. One product. Real revenue.
Come with a validated idea
You arrive knowing what you're building and that someone will pay for it. The included self-paced Validation Sprint course gets you there before week 1 — so every live session is spent building, not guessing.
Build with guardrails
We review your architecture before anything goes out. API keys exposed? You don't ship. Customer data unencrypted? You don't ship. Your reputation stays intact.
Launch with support
You're not alone after the 6 weeks. Demo Day puts your product in front of invited investors and founders, and your self-paced Validation Sprint course and community stay with you through December.
The curriculum
Six live Tuesday sessions, July 21 through August 25. You come in with a validated idea (the included self-paced Validation Sprint course gets you there) — and we spend every week building it for real.
Jul 21
Scope and build plan, spec-driven
Turn your validated idea into a real spec using spec-driven development — the same approach professional software teams use. Grounded in the user use cases you mapped, we decide exactly what your first version does, and what it doesn't, so you build with a plan instead of vibes.
Jul 28
The foundations every real app needs
You've already built prototypes. Now we turn yours into a real product: app infrastructure, logins, downloads, integrations. The plumbing that takes you from a demo to something clients can actually log into and rely on.
Aug 4
Security and privacy
We do a full review of your build, for you: data handling, API security, privacy. The part the YouTube tech bros skip, and the part that means you're not lying awake wondering if your product is a liability. You'll know it's safe to put in front of paying clients.
Aug 11
Make it earn
Pricing, payments, and the path to your first paying customer. We wire your product up to actually take money, now and not someday, so by the end of the week it can charge a real client.
Aug 18
Final QA — group bug bash
The whole cohort stress-tests each other's products, and you fix the last rough edges before Demo Day. We've been building and testing since week one, so this is the final check. With your pricing live, you'll also have revenue projections, which is exactly when we talk through what comes next: what you and your team can support yourselves, and when it's worth paying for real help.
Aug 25
Demo Day
Show what you built. Each builder demos their live product to the cohort and a room of invited investors and successful startup founders. You walk out with a real product, a real read on what it could be worth, and a plan to grow it.
Who this is for
A strong fit if you are:
- A coach who's built a proprietary methodology your clients swear by
- A consultant who keeps solving the same problem and thinks "there has to be a way to scale this"
- A course creator who wants a product that works harder than a PDF
- A service provider tired of feast-or-famine revenue
Probably not the right fit if you:
- Want to learn vibe coding as a hobby
- Are starting a business from scratch (you need existing clients)
- Are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme
Tech insiders in your corner.
Polly Allen
Built AI products used by millions. Now runs a seven-figure education business. She'll help you figure out which product your business should build and how to position it so clients reach for their credit card.
Yuying Chen-Wynn
Evaluated companies for acquisition at PEAK6, and now teaches non-technical founders to build AI products live on Maven. She knows what makes a business worth buying, and she'll make sure what you build is secure, scalable, and doesn't cut corners that come back to haunt you.
"Yuying not only showed us the basics, but built alongside and ahead of us, so we had tons of real-life learning all at once. With her history across Product, UX, architecture, and engineering, she could answer from every angle — and how it all fits together. SO SO valuable."
Yuying's Vibe Coding Bootcamp · Maven ★★★★★"[Polly] is enthralling. The amount of knowledge [she has] is staggering. I really liked the decks, the documents and resources, and the Slack channel."
Polly's Conversational AI course · Maven ★★★★★"Go from no experience (or some experience) with vibe coding to rockin' and rollin'. The course to quickly get up to speed. Thank you!"
Yuying's Vibe Coding Bootcamp · Maven ★★★★★"[Polly] packed decades of expertise into a highly engaging course, demystifying Conversational AI and making the complex simple for those of us newer to the space."
Polly's Conversational AI course · Maven ★★★★★"Yuying's session was incredibly insightful and practical. She broke down complex ideas with clarity and made learning feel effortless. I appreciated her hands-on approach and real-world examples, which made it immediately valuable."
Yuying's Vibe Coding Bootcamp · Maven ★★★★★"Terrific instructors using their real-world experiences to give insights on how to implement a successful AI project."
Polly's Conversational AI course · Maven ★★★★★Between them: building AI products used by millions, and sitting on the buy side deciding which companies were worth acquiring. They've been inside the AI world since before it went mainstream, and they've watched the vibe coding explosion happen in real time. They know what works, what breaks, and what gets people in trouble.
People who started exactly where you are.
"I had no interest in doing a software-related idea. But then it's become so easy, and this class really gave me the foundation to actually go build something. I don't think I would have thought I could build this 5 months ago."
Sarah
Built an AI wedding concierge
"This is very, very new to me, and I learned it all through this course."
Kyle
PM by day — now has paying subscribers at $29.99/mo
"I undervalued the validation phase. That is the one thing I learned from this program — validate, validate, validate."
Deepal
Built a caregiver coordination app
Become a builder before the Sprint even starts.
Join now and you're in Yuying's live AI Builder in a Day workshop this Saturday, June 13 (a $600 program, included). In one afternoon she walks you through the exact Claude toolkit we build with for six weeks: Claude Design, Claude Code, Cowork, and Dispatch. You'll design, build, and deploy a real working app that same day — so when Week 1 begins, you're not learning the tools, you're already building with them.
