From Startup Idea to $1M ARR MVP: Build Reliable Apps with AI & No-Code

​About this workshop

​You have an idea for a product. You don't write code. AI can now generate a working app from a sentence — but the demos stop where the real work starts: data that doesn't persist, logic nobody can find, one rule you need to change and can't.

​This is a hands-on session about that part. We'll cover vibe coding and vibe nocoding — what each is and when to use which — build a real app live, and showcase an app running past $1M ARR, built and still maintained by founders with no technical background.

​What we'll cover

• ​How software gets built without code today — what the tools genuinely do, and what still needs a human decision

• ​Vibe coding vs. vibe nocoding — one gets you a demo fast. The other gets you a business, because you can still read and control what was built

• ​A live build from zero — one idea to a working, shareable app, with every decision explained as we make it

• ​Showcase of a real-life $1M ARR app — a real business, built and still run by founders with no technical background. How the app is structured, and what they got right

​Agenda

​2 hours, hands-on.

• ​19:00 – 19:30 — Vibe coding and vibe nocoding: what each one is and where they differ, plus a showcase of a real-life $1M ARR app — built and still maintained by founders with no technical background

• ​19:30 – 20:30 — Live build from zero. We build a working app in front of you and explain each decision as we make it. Follow along on your own laptop

• ​20:30 – 21:00 — Q&A

​Who this is for

​Non-technical founders, SMB owners, and anyone in Japan with a product idea and no engineering background who wants to build something real — beyond a demo or a prototype.

​No programming or design experience needed.

​The session runs in English.
Bring a laptop — you'll follow along and build with us.
