AI Agents + Vibe Coding for Founders: Scale Faster, Build Smarter | Marbella AI × SkyRiver Ventures

​The founders who win the next decade won't just use AI. They'll deploy AI agents that run their operations.

​We're past the era of chatbots and copilots. The next wave of startups will be built on agentic systems — AI that doesn't just answer questions, but takes action: closing deals, managing pipelines, onboarding customers, monitoring infrastructure, and scaling operations autonomously.

​Whether you are a technical founder looking to step up your game or a non-technical founder looking to start building your first AI agent, all are welcome.

​Welcome to the era of vibe coding — where founders describe what they want in plain English, and AI helps them build it. No CS degree required. No 10,000 hours of coding. Just a clear vision and the right tools.

​Marbella AI and SkyRiver Ventures invite founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and ambitious builders to an afternoon of hands-on building, expert office hours, and live demos — whether you're a seasoned engineer or you've never written a line of code.

​What You'll Experience

​🎯 Vibe Coding — learn how to set up and use Claude Cowork to build a web application by simply describing what you want. AI writes the code, you steer the vision. It's like having a CTO in your laptop. Beginners can follow an instructor to build an application together on Claude Cowork. You will need to sign up or have access to ~$20 Claude pro plan to participate in lesson. Advanced coders are welcome to separately form groups to build together on a platform of your choosing.

​🔧 1-on-1 Tech Office Hours — get personalized guidance from experienced AI builders. Stuck on something? Bring your questions. No question is too basic.

​• Technical founders and CTOs exploring agentic architectures
• Non-technical founders curious about building with AI (this is your on-ramp!)
• First-time entrepreneurs who want to launch faster and leaner with AI
