From Prompts to Product: Building an MVP for Less Than a Week's Worth of Coffee
Welcome to Workshop Wednesday, hosted by the Mentor Me Collective! 🚀
In this high-energy masterclass, we are joined by George Mason, AI Founder of FollowupAI, to show you how to bypass traditional development cycles and build your own software on a micro-budget.
Today’s Topic: From Prompts to Product: Building an MVP for Less Than a Week's Worth of Coffee
The AI era isn't replacing builders—it's empowering you to become the founder you've always wanted to be for less than the cost of a few cups of coffee. Designed specifically for first-generation technologists, aspiring founders, and non-technical builders who are ready to build instead of just apply for jobs, this workshop breaks down the exact roadmap for "vibe engineering" your own product.
George skips the generic buzzwords and focuses entirely on raw execution. You'll learn how to turn natural language into functional software, manage a micro-budget tech stack, and architect and deploy a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in days without needing years of traditional engineering experience.
