YOUR NEXT 90 DAYS, IN FOUR LINES
WHAT YOU GET

Something real and live, used by someone who isn't you.

HOW SURE

Keep four commitments and it's guaranteed.

HOW LONG

90 days at most. Some finish in a fortnight.

HOW HARD

No code. A written brief becomes a working product.

THE REAL PROBLEM

You don't need another AI tool. You need to finish something.

MONA new idea.
TUEA new tool that promises to build it.
WEDThree hours of prompting, and a landing page that reads like everyone else's.
THUThe course you bought, progress bar still at 12%.
FRILinkedIn, where every other founder seems to be shipping.
SUNBusy all week. Nothing exists that didn't exist on Monday.

It isn't the tools, it isn't knowledge, and it isn't discipline. It's that you're doing it alone. Nobody is expecting to see what you shipped this month. Alone, every idea is optional. In a room that expects you to ship, it isn't.

THE 90-DAY BUILD

The deal. Four things from you. One from me.

01 · WEEK ONE

Declare.

Tell the room what you're building, who it's for, what's in the way. Ten minutes. From here on, people know, and people will ask.

02 · MODULES 1 TO 4

Build.

Idea to sharp offer to a working product built from a written brief. What my workshops cover in one four-hour evening, at your pace.

03 · THREE CALLS

Show up.

One date a month, everyone on it, your work on the table. I'm on every one. Three chances to get unstuck by someone who's done it.

04 · TWELVE POSTS

Share.

Every week, what you shipped and what's stuck. The one people skip, and the one that matters. Lurking is visible here.

DAY 90 · MY SIDE OF IT

If you don't have something live that someone else has used, I keep working with you until you do.

Not a refund and a handshake. The work gets finished.

YOUALEX

And separately: cancel any month. No calls, no forms, no guilt.

ALEX RUSSO / FOUNDER · LISBON
WHO'S BEHIND IT

I'm Alex Russo. I built this for my own companies before I taught it to anyone.

Twenty years in tech. Three companies, some that worked and some that didn't. A decade building software for Fortune 100s, and more than 20,000 students taught.

The lesson that survived all of it: technology alone doesn't transform a business. People do. Smart Launch AI is how I actually use AI in my own companies, written down lesson by lesson. VibeFounders is the room around it, because the room is what gets it finished.

I'm based in Lisbon, where I run Hands On AI Lisbon, an in-person AI community, and teach the build module live in one four-hour evening.

FROM THE FIRST MEMBERS

A member launched a working app in July. He didn't build it alone.

"I know the workshop was in July and it seems like ages ago, but it honestly changed my mindset."

EARLY MEMBER · AFTER MODULE 1

"I found it good to challenge and refine my pitch. Turns out I was presenting my idea in a very confusing, jargony way. Having the client persona was really useful too."

EARLY MEMBER · AFTER MODULE 2

"Thank you for bringing us together and building a supportive community of founders. I found our session extremely valuable."

Smart Launch AI: 6 modules, 35 lessonsno developer needed
A call with me, every monthI'm on every one
Expert calls, every quarterrecorded, kept in the Classroom
Prompts, SOPs and decisions from my own companiesshared as I build
The room: across the globe, and in personLisbon was first
The 90-Day Build and its guaranteesee the deal above
Founding 50 only: the WhatsApp with me, plus founding status for goodcloses at 50

Why stop at 50? A group chat with me in it works at fifty people. I can read every message and I know every name. At two hundred it's a feed nobody reads, including me. So it stops at fifty. Not to make you hurry. Past fifty it stops being the thing I'm promising.

Is this you?

FOR YOU IF

You're building a real business, or something you fully intend to turn into one
You want AI doing real work, not writing about doing real work
You've bought a course and not finished it, and you'd like that to stop being true
You'll keep four commitments for ninety days, including a post every week
You'd rather build with people than alone

NOT FOR YOU IF

You don't have something you're actually trying to build. You'll feel it by week two.
You want it built for you. I'll show you how. I won't build it.
You need an answer within the hour. This is not a hotline.
You're collecting communities. You already know if you are.

Questions.

Anything else: hello@vibefounders.ai

Do I need to be technical?
No. Module 4 takes a written brief to a working product, and it's what my in-person workshops cover in one four-hour evening. If you can describe what you want clearly, you can build it.
How much time does it take?
Four commitments over ninety days. How fast you move through the modules is up to you. Some do four modules in a fortnight. Some take the full ninety days.
I've bought a course like this and never finished it.
Then you already know the problem was never the content. It was that nobody was expecting anything from you. The weekly post means someone is, every seven days.
What happens when I click Join?
You go to Skool, where the community lives. Two minutes to join at $99, and Step 1 is waiting: tell the room what you're building.
Why $99?
Because the first members are building this with me. The price goes up as the room grows. Whatever you join at is yours for as long as you stay.
How is this different from other AI communities?
Most are a course with a Discord attached, and the Discord is where posts go to die. Here the room is the product and the course is inside it. Nobody lurks, because lurking is visible.
Can I cancel?
Any month. No calls, no forms, no guilt. You keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.

Two paths from here.

PATH 1

Close this tab. Keep the tools, keep the ideas, keep the course at 12%. Maybe in ninety days you'll be somewhere different. You already know how that usually goes.

PATH 2

Join. Declare what you're building. Keep the four commitments. Be somewhere completely different ninety days from now, with a link to prove it.

P.S. Ninety days from now you'll either have something real and live, or another quarter of meaning to.
