Most apps never earn

Building is the easy part. Distribution and marketing are not. RevenueCat data suggests only about 17% of subscription apps ever reach $1,000/month. We fix the gap between "shipped" and "sustainable."

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The bootcamp is built for beginners and vibecoders. You build with AI coding agents on our boilerplate, and mentors explain what you are doing at every step.

In person or online?

Both. Join in Athens or live online: same schedule, same mentors, same projects.

Which language is it taught in?

Greek and English. Ask your questions in whichever language you think in.

What if I do not finish everything in 5 days?

You keep the cohort path in your account, and Builders Club is free for 3 months, with office hours and other builders to keep you moving.
