Cohort 0·16 of 50 seats taken·founding price €697 ends when full

The founders winning with AI aren't using more tools. They're using a repeatable execution system.

Use AI to ship a real business in 30 days . Not just feel busy.

Smart Launch AI is the 6-module operating system I use to build with AI without producing the workslop most founders are quietly drowning in. It's also your way into Cohort 0: the 50 founding founders who get the founding rate, deepest access, and a voice in what comes next.

What Cohort 0 founders are saying after Module 1.

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

Cohort 0 founder, after Module 1

The one shift

The founders winning with AI aren't the ones using more tools. They're the ones using a repeatable execution system.

02The problem

What's happening

Founders feel busy, not shipped.

Why it gets worse

More tools create noise, false progress, and overwhelm.

What works instead

A repeatable operating rhythm, coaching, and community accountability.

Here's what nobody who sells AI courses will tell you.

Four data points the AI hype cycle would prefer you didn't line up next to each other:

19%

slower with AI tools (perceived 20% faster)

METR, 2025

37 to 40%

of AI-saved time eaten by review & cleanup

Workday, 2026

95%

of GenAI pilots never make it past pilot

MIT GenAI Divide

8h vs 2h

executives' claimed AI time savings vs frontline

Section AI

This is the part nobody is saying out loud.

The reason isn't that AI doesn't work. AI works. It's that the way most people use AI is structurally broken. They're using it as a content engine when they should be using it as a thinking partner. They're optimizing for output volume when they should be optimizing for compounding decisions. They're treating AI like a hammer that turns every problem into the same shape.

The result is what CNBC named in September 2025: workslop. Output that looks productive but creates more downstream cleanup than it eliminates. Founders running faster on a treadmill of their own making.

Smart Launch AI is built on a different premise.

The premise is that AI is real leverage, but only if you use it the way operators use leverage. To remove friction from decisions you've already made, not to make decisions for you. To compress work you understand, not to outsource work you don't.

That's what's inside the six modules. That's what Cohort 0 is working on with me right now.

Be honest with yourself.

Your AI outputs technically look fine, but you spend more time reviewing them than they save
You've tried four or five tools, mastered none, and you can't quite say why
You have ideas. They never leave your Notes app.
You watch other founders post polished AI content and quietly wonder if it's working for them or just looking like it is
You've paid for at least one AI course that taught you things you could've found on YouTube
You suspect there's a real way to do this that nobody is actually teaching

What is what

Three names, one thing.

Quick decoder so nothing here gets in your way.

The brand

VibeFounders

The community of operators using AI to build real businesses. The umbrella for everything: cohorts, course, membership, events.

The system

Smart Launch AI

The 6-module operating system you actually do. The way you learn the method and ship with it. Buying it is also how you join Cohort 0.

The founding cohort

Cohort 0

The first 50 founders inside. 16 are in. They get the founding rate, the deepest access to Alex, and a voice in what comes next.

Cohort 0 founder

After completing Module 1

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

What changes when the system is real.

Without the system

AI feels like fancy autocomplete
You're a tool tourist, not an operator
Outputs sound like everyone else's
Ideas pile up, nothing ships
You feel busy without being productive
You suspect the work isn't compounding
The dopamine of polished output is doing your thinking for you

With the system

AI is a strategic partner, not a content engine
One operating system that compounds across modules
Outputs sound like you wrote them on your best day
Ideas get tested in days, not stuck for months
Real shipped products, not screenshots of activity
Decisions compound, not collide
You use AI without being absorbed by it

After completing Module 2

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, and it helped me get over some of the bumps in the road in terms of how my product will be received.

Plus everything that comes with founding member status.

These benefits are Cohort 0 only. Cohort 1 opens with a different structure, larger groups, and less direct access.

Bonus

Monthly live group coaching with Alex (Cohort 0 access)

Every month. Live. With me. Bring your project, get unstuck, get real feedback. Cohort 0 founders get the deepest access. When Cohort 1 opens, group coaching gets larger and more structured. Cohort 0 is the only group that gets the original format.

VALUE: €2,400/year

Bonus

VibeFounders founding membership rate, locked for life

Your first month inside VibeFounders is free. After that, if you want to stay, you pay €97/month, locked at that rate forever, even when public membership opens at €199/month later this year. If you don't want to stay, you don't pay anything more. Either way, you keep founding member status.

VALUE: €1,224/year in savings if you choose to stay, plus founding member status for life

Bonus

Lifetime access plus all future updates

The course evolves with the cohorts. Every update, every new module, every new asset, yours forever. No extra cost. Ever.

VALUE: €500+ in ongoing updates

Bonus

Direct access to Alex inside the community (Cohort 0 only)

Tag me. Ask me anything. I read everything. This level of access is a Cohort 0 thing. It doesn't scale, and I'm honest about that. As the community grows, this access changes. Cohort 0 is the only group it stays this open for.

VALUE: Priceless. Let's call it €1,000+/year.

After a live coaching session

Thank you for your commitment to giving back and sharing your knowledge with us. I found our session to be extremely valuable and informative. Also, thank you for bringing us together and building a supportive community of founders.

04The decision

Let's do the math. Because you're going to do it anyway.

Everything below is included in the one-time €697. The VibeFounders community membership (€97/month, locked for life) only kicks in if you choose to stay after your free month.

Lifetime access

Direct support

One-time payment. No subscription. Lifetime access included.

Real talk on the price.

Cohort 0 is a one-time payment of €697. That's it. No monthly fee. No annual renewal. No upsell.

What that one payment includes: lifetime access to all six modules, monthly live group coaching for as long as you want it, the founding rate (€97/month locked for life) on the VibeFounders community membership if you choose to keep it past your first free month, all future course updates forever, and direct access to me inside the community.

When Cohort 0 fills (50 founders), Cohort 1 opens at €897. Cohort 1 will have around 100 seats, slightly larger group coaching, slightly less direct access. That's not artificial. It's just the math of running real coaching as the community grows.

Cohort 2 and beyond will be priced and structured based on what we learn from Cohorts 0 and 1.

Cohort 0 is the only group that will ever be this small, this close to me, and at this price.

If €697 fits and the system fits, the only question is timing.

Four things to believe

If these four land, the seat makes sense.

The problem is real.

19% slower with AI tools. 95% of GenAI pilots stall. The data is on the wall. Busy isn't shipped.

The solution is different.

Not another tool tour. A repeatable rhythm: one lecture, one framework, one shipped action, every cycle.

Alex can actually help.

20+ years building software. 3 companies shipped. Direct access inside Cohort 0. Tag me, email me, I read everything.

Now is the right time.

16 of 50 seats taken at the founding rate. Cohort 1 opens at €897 with larger groups and less direct access.

Zero-risk founder's guarantee.

30-DAY

Refund

Go through Modules 1 and 2. Use the frameworks. Show up to one live coaching session.

If after 30 days you don't have a clearer offer, a sharper plan, and at least one concrete next step you couldn't have figured out alone, email me. I'll refund every cent. No forms. No hoops. No "prove you did the work" nonsense.

I can make this guarantee because the system works. I've watched 16 founders go through it so far. The only way you find out if it works for you is to start.

30 days, full access

Try Modules 1 and 2 and a live coaching session before you decide.

One-email refund

No forms, no proof-of-work, no friction. Reply once, refund issued.

hello@vibefounders.ai goes straight to me. I read every email.

05Last call

One last reality check.

For Cohort 0

You're an operator with a track record (or you're building one deliberately)
You want to be early to something that's going to grow
You'll do the work. Modules, frameworks, coaching.
You're done with surface-level theory
€697 is a real decision but not a reckless one

Not for Cohort 0

You want a magic AI button
You collect courses for the dopamine of buying
You want to lurk in a "community"
You won't show up
You think being early is the same as being a beta tester (it isn't. Cohort 0 isn't a beta, it's the foundation)

If that's you, no hard feelings. Cohort 1 will be a better fit when it opens.

Questions you probably have.

You don't need to be. The whole point of the system is to use AI to do the technical work you can't do alone. Several Cohort 0 founders had never written a line of code. They're shipping working products in weeks. The thinking, the offer, the strategy. That's what you handle, with the system.

Five hours a week is the floor. Modules are designed to be implemented as you go, not consumed passively. Most founders hit Module 2 inside week one and have something shippable by week three.

Most teach you tools. This teaches you a system: how operators actually use AI to compress real work, not produce more polished workslop. And you don't get a Slack ghost town. You get 16 founders shipping alongside you, monthly live coaching, and direct access to me.

You ask in the community. You bring it to the monthly live coaching session. You email me. Cohort 0 founders get the deepest access to me I'll ever offer publicly. Stuck doesn't last long here.

Because the stack is worth more than €1,990 line by line, and Cohort 0 is the only group that ever pays the founding rate. Cohort 1 opens at €897 with a bigger group and less direct access. That's not artificial scarcity. It's the math of running real coaching as the community grows.

One-time payment of €697. No monthly fee for the course. No annual renewal. Lifetime access to everything, including all future updates and the monthly live coaching for as long as the program runs. The only optional recurring fee is the VibeFounders community membership (€97/month at the founding rate), and that only kicks in after your one free month, if you choose to stay.

Yes. Two payments of €375 (€750 total, slightly more than paying upfront). Email me to arrange it.

30 days, no questions asked. See the guarantee section above.

Two paths from here.

Path 1: Close this tab. Keep doing what you've been doing. Watch other founders ship while you research. Try to figure it out alone. Maybe in 12 months you'll be somewhere different. Probably not.

Path 2: Take the founding seat today.

Get the system. Get the coaching. Get the community. Show up. Do the work. Be somewhere completely different 90 days from now.

Your call.

P.S. The fastest way I can describe what's inside: it's the version of "AI for founders" I wish existed when I started using it three years ago. Less hype. More honesty about what works and what doesn't. Cohort 0 is 16 founders who recognized that and decided to be early. The remaining 34 seats are open.

P.P.S. When Cohort 0 fills, the founding price (€697) and the founding membership rate (€97/month locked for life) go away. Forever. Cohort 1 opens at €897, with a larger group and less direct access. That's not a sales tactic. It's how the community is built. Being in Cohort 0 is a one-time thing.
