Our guarantee

Launch your app in 8 weeks, or we keep coaching free until you do, up to one extra month.

No paperwork. We keep meeting with you weekly at zero extra cost until your app is live for real customers.

We do this together. You show up to your sessions, try what we suggest between calls, and tell us when you're stuck. We check in every two weeks so no one drifts quietly. If life happens, we pause and pick up where you left off.

Who this is for

If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place

You might already be making progress, maybe you've even got something half-working. But it's unpredictable. Some days it feels easy. Other days you're ready to give up. Almost no one stuck here is missing the ability. They're missing someone experienced to show them what to ask, what to ignore, and what to do when it breaks.

You have an idea for an app. You're starting from zero.

You've got an idea, and a job or a business it would make better, and you assumed building it was off-limits because you're "not technical." You don't know where to even begin or whether your idea is too complicated for someone like you.

You already built something with AI. You're scared it's held together with tape.

You used Claude, Lovable, or Cursor, got something working, and now have a nagging feeling it could break or leak users' private information. You're not sure which parts you can trust, or how to put it in front of real users without something going wrong.

You've been quoted thousands to build it. It feels out of reach.

A developer or agency quoted you $10,000 to $30,000 and you walked away stunned. You want to build your idea without handing someone tens of thousands, and to actually own and understand the thing you're building, not rent it from an agency.

You don't want to become a programmer. You just want your thing to exist.

You're not switching careers. You want the specific thing you need, not a generic coding course. You want someone experienced in your corner when you get stuck, and you want to walk away able to do this again for your next version and the one after that.

Two tracks. Same destination.

Pick the one that matches where you are today.

Rescue track

You already launched something with an AI tool

Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, Replit, v0, Bolt. It works for you. Now you need it safe and scalable for real customers.

  1. Weeks 1 to 2
    End-to-end review

    We review what you built together. Security, function, legal data handling. You receive a written plan and keep it.

  2. Weeks 3 to 6
    Fix the gaps with you

    You write the code with your AI tool. We coach. We review every update you make. The same bug never ships twice.

  3. Weeks 7 to 8
    Go live and hand-off

    Your app goes live for real customers. We lock in the habits and setup that keep the same bug from shipping twice. You ship the next feature without us.

Outcome

A live app real customers can pay for. Security and auth done right. The habit and setup to keep building safely on your own.

Right for you if

If you have already built something with an AI tool and you want it ready for paying customers.

Builder track

You have an idea. No code yet.

We start from zero. You pick the AI tool with us. We coach you through every decision until your app is live.

  1. Weeks 1 to 2
    Scope and stack

    We plan the first version together. Pick the right AI tools for your idea. You leave with a one-page plan and the tools installed.

  2. Weeks 3 to 8
    Build it together and go live

    You drive the AI tool. We coach you through every decision. Weekly 1:1. Help by message between calls. By the end of week 8 your app is live for real customers.

  3. Weeks 9 to 12
    Harden and extend

    Your app is already live since week 8. We harden security, polish rough edges, ship the features you cut from the first version, and lock in your habits before you go it alone.

Outcome

A live app real customers can pay for. Security and auth done right. The habit and setup to ship the next feature without us.

Right for you if

If you have an idea and you are willing to learn the AI tools with hands-on weekly coaching.

Mistakes we'll help you avoid

When you build with AI on your own, it skips the safeguards that keep an app safe and reliable, often without warning. We handle each of these with you, and what we put in place stays in your code after the program ends.

  • Keeping private information private

    AI-built apps often let people see information they shouldn't, including other users' private data. From day one, we make sure each person can only see and do what they're authorized to.

    You leave with a single page that names every role, what each role can do, and where the rules live in your code.

  • Protecting your sensitive credentials

    Every app depends on confidential keys, like access to your payment provider. AI tools often leave these exposed. We make sure yours stay safe, with a clear plan if any ever needs replacing.

    You leave knowing exactly where every key lives, who can read it, and what to do if one ever leaks.

  • Handling personal data responsibly

    Collecting, storing, and deleting people's data is governed by real regulations (CCPA, GDPR, KVKK, LGPD, DPDP, and others). We walk you through what data you hold, why you hold it, how individuals can review or remove it, and how to respond if something goes wrong. General guidance, not legal advice. Talk to a lawyer for your situation.

    You leave with a written one-pager you can hand to a lawyer that names the regulation, the obligation, and where in your app each one is handled.

  • Facing legal problems you didn't see coming

    Putting an app in front of real users carries responsibilities that are easy to miss: clear terms of use, a privacy policy, the right to charge customers and handle refunds, confirming you actually own what you built. We help you find where these apply to your specific app. General guidance, not legal advice. Talk to a lawyer for your situation.

    You leave with a checklist of what's covered and what still needs a lawyer's eye, so nothing surprises you on launch week.

  • Handling real demand without breaking

    Many apps perform fine in testing but struggle once real users arrive in numbers. We build in the fundamentals that keep yours fast and reliable, plus monitoring that alerts you the moment something goes wrong.

    You leave with a green dashboard you can glance at every morning and know whether your app is healthy.

  • Stopping the same bug shipping twice

    Every lesson is recorded directly into your app's setup, so the AI doesn't reverse it later. Issues are resolved once, and stay resolved.

    You leave with a small playbook saved alongside your code that the AI reads every time it writes, so Tuesday's fix is never undone on Friday.

Running out of Claude?

Your weekly limit is gone by Wednesday. It does not have to be.

This is the number one thing we hear from people building with Claude. The limit runs out in a few days, and a big part of it went to the AI re-reading things it already knew. Since the September limit change it is the loudest complaint in every developer community. We fix how your project is set up, so the plan you already pay for goes further.

  • 20 to 30%
    fewer tokens for the same work

    On a $200/month Max plan, that is about $50 of work back every month, per person.

  • 30 to 40%
    less server capacity

    The systems we set up need less hardware and grow without a bigger bill.

  • 120 to 40
    bugs per week

    After we tuned how the team plans, builds, tests, and releases.

Measured on our own products. Your results depend on your app and how you work, so we measure your starting point in week 1 and show you the difference in your own numbers.

What people building with Claude struggle with right now, and what we do about it

  • "I run out of Claude before my work is done."

    The strongest model plans, and cheaper, faster helpers do the routine work. Your project notes stay short, so the AI stops re-reading what it already knows.

  • "It says it is finished, but the app is broken."

    Nothing counts as done until automatic checks prove it works. A second check reviews the work before it reaches you.

  • "It forgets my rules halfway through."

    Your must-follow rules become automatic guardrails that run every time, not polite requests it can forget.

  • "One bad command wiped out my work."

    The AI works on a safe copy of your project with automatic backups. Anything that deletes files needs your yes first.

  • "Long sessions get confused, then summarizing them eats my limit."

    Work is split into small tasks with a clear finish line, and each one starts fresh. Progress is saved, so a new session picks up exactly where the last one stopped, without a costly summary of everything before.

  • "It was great last week. Now it feels worse, or it is down."

    Automatic checks catch a drop in quality the same day, so you switch settings instead of guessing. Long jobs save their progress and try again on their own, so a bad week or an outage costs minutes, not days.

How we set it up, in five steps

  1. 1
    Understand your project

    We learn what you are building, how you work today, and where your time and tokens go. You get a short written analysis.

  2. 2
    Design how your project gets built

    We map every step from idea to release, and the automation for each step, fitted to how your project is organized.

  3. 3
    Start building

    You build with the new setup from day one, and we review as you go.

  4. 4
    Fine-tune

    We measure tokens, bugs, and speed, then adjust whatever is not pulling its weight.

  5. 5
    Ready to run

    The system is in place and tested. You keep building and testing on your own, with numbers that prove it works.

For teams

Already building with Claude as a team?

If your developers burn through their plans, your server bill grows every month, or bugs keep piling up, we install the same system for your whole team. Same five steps, measured before and after.

  • 20 to 30% fewer tokens, about $50 back per $200 Max seat every month
  • 30 to 40% less server capacity for the same load
  • Weekly bugs down from 120 to 40 on our own products

Priced per team after a free 30-minute call.

Quick reality check

What this isn't

  • It's not a course you watch alone.

    You don't sit through hours of recorded video and hope it sticks. You build your own app, with us beside you, with feedback on what you ship.

  • It's not an agency that builds it for you and disappears.

    You own the code. You understand it. When something needs to change six months from now, you don't have to come back and pay us again.

  • It's not "just use the AI and hope."

    AI alone makes things that look right and break in ways you don't see. We add the safety net, the deploy, and the experience to know which AI suggestions to take and which to ignore.

Apply for the next start date

A new group starts the first Monday of every month. The 30-minute intro call is free. We confirm fit. You decide if it is a yes.

Frequently asked

Will this help with Claude usage limits running out?
Yes. It is the most common problem we hear. On our own products, the setup we install uses 20 to 30% fewer tokens for the same work. On a $200/month Max plan that is about $50 of work back every month, per person. We measure your starting point in week 1 so you see the difference in your own numbers.
Do I need the $100 or $200 Max plan, or is Pro enough?
Start with Pro. It is included in the program price. Most first versions fit inside Pro once the setup stops wasting tokens. We only suggest upgrading when your own usage numbers show you are hitting the limit on real work, not before.
How do you measure the token savings?
In week 1 we record what your typical tasks use today. After the setup is in place we run the same kind of tasks again and compare. You see both numbers side by side, from your own account, so you do not have to take our word for it.
Do I need to know how to code to start?
No. The Builder track is designed for founders without coding experience. You use the AI tool, we coach you on what to ask it and what to never let it skip.
What if I already built something with Lovable, Cursor, or similar?
Rescue track. We start by reviewing what you have, then coach you through fixing the gaps and installing the framework. Most apps are ready for real customers in 2 months.
How does the price compare to a development agency?
A typical agency engagement runs $10,000 to $30,000 for a first version. The 12-week program runs $1,560 (Class) or $6,060 (1:1 + Build + Deploy), Claude Pro included. Your app goes live within the first 8 weeks either way. A fraction of the agency cost, and you keep the muscle to keep building.
What if it is not working after the first month?
The 30-minute intake call is free. After that you can cancel after any month. We do not lock you in. If we are not the right fit you will know quickly.
What do you actually need from me each week?
Show up to your weekly call, or watch the recording before the next one. Try what we suggest between sessions, even if it does not work the first time. And tell us as soon as you get stuck. That is it. We do not grade you, we do not track your hours, and we do not expect you to know things you have not been taught yet. We just expect you to keep showing up.
What if I fall behind or life gets busy?
It happens. We notice within two weeks because we check in, and we have a quick call to figure it out together. Most of the time we just trim the first version a little so you still launch something live. We rarely walk away from a student. The only exception is going completely silent for two weeks with no notice. Then we pause the guarantee clock until you are back, and pick up where we left off.
What does '1:1' mean exactly?
One scheduled call per week (45 to 60 minutes) with a senior engineer at IB Group. Plus Slack or email between calls. Review of every update you make during the program.
What about data-protection regulators and legal exposure?
We walk you through a legal data-handling checklist that works for whichever regulators apply to you: CCPA, GDPR, KVKK, LGPD, DPDP, and others. Data inventory, processing purpose, access and erasure endpoints, breach-notification readiness. We are not a law firm. We help your lawyer find the gaps that matter for your situation.
Who actually runs the coaching?
A senior engineer at IB Group with shipped production experience. We do not outsource coaching. If you are paying for it, you talk to a builder who has shipped it themselves.
I use Cursor, Lovable, or another tool. Does this still work?
Yes. The coaching is built around Claude Code, and the Rescue track works with apps built in any tool. The habits that save tokens and stop repeat bugs (short project notes, small tasks with a clear finish line, automatic checks before anything counts as done) work the same way.
We are a team, not a solo founder. How does the team setup work?
Same five steps, for your whole team: we analyse how you build today, design the setup around your project, start building with it, fine-tune using real numbers, and hand over a tested system. We measure tokens, server use, and bugs before and after. Pricing depends on team size and is set after a free 30-minute call.
Is my code safe with you?
Your code and accounts stay yours. We work with the access you give us, and you can remove it at any time. The setup we install lives in your own code, so nothing breaks when the program ends.
Which languages do you coach in?
English and Turkish.
When do I start?
On the first Monday of the month after your intro call and first payment. If that date is less than 5 days away, you join the following month. Your price stays the same for as long as you stay in the program.
