Cohort 01

Build & Earn with Your Portfolio projects in 14 days.

A 2-week sprint to finally ship your projects, grow your skills, and get paid while building your portfolio – not a course, not a hackathon.

This cohort is for JavaScript/TypeScript developers.

Just familiarity with one framework/library is enough - no prior projects required.

Most developers start projects but never finish them.

Not because they lack skill — but because they lack structure, feedback, and real-world pressure to ship.

Not a course

No tutorials. Just building.

Not a hackathon

No time-pressure gimmicks.

A guided build sprint

Ship meaningful features in your own projects.
