ENGINEERING

You can read and modify code. With Claude Code and our AI-native boilerplate, you'll build production-ready SaaS in hours, not months.

Frequently Asked Questions

The boilerplate is designed to work with Claude Code. Without it, it would be like buying a Ferrari without fuel. For ~€200 you get almost "flat rate" access to coding agents — it's the most cost-effective option on the market. Claude Max is your development copilot. It's not optional.

No. There's an initial assessment that will help you decide if you're ready.

€999. Includes: • Boilerplate + future updates • Slack community • 1:1 mentoring at the start • Pre-content for leveling up and basic setup • 16h intensive boosting • Your SaaS live at the end • A way of working and tools to keep launching • Network of driven people like you.

Claude Max (mandatory, ~€200), domain (optional but recommended, ~€10), and marketing budget (optional but highly recommended, €50-100).

No.

Few. To ensure everyone launches their SaaS. When they fill up, they close. No waiting list.

No. Code and information are shared, but there are no recordings. You learn by doing and learning how to learn.

Claude Max subscription (mandatory), 2+ years of technical or product experience, no fear of code and basic knowledge of logical structures (IF, loops...), and full weekend availability.

A boilerplate is a pre-built code template with all the common features a SaaS needs: authentication, payments, admin panel, etc. Instead of building everything from scratch (which takes months), you start with a solid foundation and focus only on what makes YOUR product unique. Think of it as buying a house with plumbing and electricity already installed.

Yes. If you already have the skills and just want the boilerplate, you can get it separately at /boilerplate.

Yes, but the boilerplate isn't as optimized for Cursor. You'll need Cursor Ultra to avoid credit issues.

No problem, you can learn during the course as long as you have the basic logic concepts. Take the initial assessment to check.
