You've had the idea for months.
Let's build it

Zero to Builder is a 4-week cohort that takes you from a stalled idea to a validated, working product. The deadline, the 1:1 support, and the community of women founders that finally make you do it. No code, no developer, no "someday."

You don't have an idea problem.
You have a "someday" problem.

The idea has been sitting for months, maybe years. You're great at your job, but your own thing keeps slipping. Every time someone close to you starts something, you think: why not me?

This is the structure, the deadline, and the people that turn "someday" into a start date.

This is for you if you're stuck between ‘I have an idea’ and ‘I built it.’

The gap was never talent or tools. It's structure, a deadline, and someone making sure you actually move.

Most common

You've been sitting on the idea

You've carried it for months, maybe years. You've built a career, but this one thing keeps slipping to 'later.' You don't need permission. You need a start date.

You built something, then stalled

You went to a hackathon, or shipped a quick MVP with AI. You made something real, then the momentum died. You've got a thing, but no map for what's next.

Same gap, same fix: 4 weeks of structure, real deadlines, and the accountability that gets you from stuck to shipped.

…if any of this sounds like you:

  • You keep starting in your head and never on the page.
  • You don't need a developer, you need a deadline.
  • You're not sure your idea is even worth building.
  • You watch others launch and think "why not me?"
  • You can find the time, if something holds you to it.
  • You want to do this around people, not alone.

Four outcomes. Zero excuses.

01

A Validated Idea

You'll know exactly what you're building, who it's for, and why it matters.

02

A Working Prototype

Built by you, using AI. No developer needed.

03

A Framework to Keep Going

A clear, repeatable process to test any idea before investing time or money.

04

You Built It Yourself

No developer. No expensive agency. Just you, the tools, and a real goal.

Two modules. One path.

Eight live sessions, broken into two clear halves. Validate first, then build with AI.

Yes. It's built for employed professionals: a few live sessions plus focused weekly work. The structure and the deadline are exactly what make it fit around a job instead of slipping to "someday."

Stop waiting to start.

The next cohort starts September 29.
