About this Event

Idea to MVP Startup Bootcamp

Have a brilliant idea for a startup, but no idea how to build it?

Stop waiting months (or years) for a technical co-founder. The barrier to building software is gone. Welcome to the Idea to MVP Bootcampβ€”an intensive, 6-week in-person where you will master the AI founder stack and turn your raw concept into a functional, funded startup.

Zero coding experience required. If you have industry expertise and a vision you believe in, we will teach you how to use Artificial Intelligence as your designer, your engineer, and your co-founder.

What You Will Accomplish in 6 Weeks:

  • Validate the Market: Use advanced LLM prompting to nail your target audience and problem statement.
  • Design the Blueprint: Generate stunning, click-through UI/UX wireframes without writing code.
  • Build the Engine: Master AI coding assistants (like Cursor) and low-code platforms to build a live, functioning Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
  • Get Funded: Run through grueling mock interviews and synthesize your pitch deck.

The Ultimate Goal: Demo Day & Accelerator Submission This cohort is strictly timed against the deadlines for the world's top venture capital programs. You won't just build an app; you will graduate by hitting "Submit" on applications for:

  • Y Combinator ($500k Investment)
  • Arch Grants ($75k Equity-Free local St. Louis grant)
  • Techstars & PearX

Space is strictly limited to 15 founders per cohort to ensure hands-on, 1-on-1 architecture reviews. Stop ideating. Start building. Secure your spot today.
