From Prototypes to Real Products: AI Tools for Founders with Samreid Manez (Valearnis)
Most founders can build a prototype. Fewer know how to turn that into a real, sustainable product.
This workshop covers the essential AI tools and workflows founders need to move beyond walled gardens, own their code, build a team of superstars, and create something that lasts.
It's led by Samreid Manez, CEO of Valearnis, an AI-Edtech startup based in Perth. Samreid has been a founder for over eight years, and brings hard-won insight into staying resilient and building sustainably, not just quickly.
Over the session, we'll cover:
AI tools and workflows
Moving beyond walled gardens
Owning your code and using GitHub
Building functional products and leveraging AI as a critical building partner
Then transitioning into hands-on doing
Following the masterclass, there's a Build Sprint from 5pm to 7pm for the AI Founder Sprint cohort. If you'd like to stay back and get hands-on after the session, you're welcome to join that too.
This session runs as part of Spacecubed's AI Founder Sprint, an 8-week program for founders building AI-first products, delivered in partnership with Solana and Superteam Australia. The program exists to help ambitious AI founders build faster, connect with mentors and investors, and turn ideas into real products.
