Become a Micro-Consultant: Build & Sell App MVPs (Hands-On Workshop)
Learn to build a working app MVP in one afternoon and turn it into a consulting business you can charge clients $1,000+ for. No engineering background required.
Everyone's going to hackathons, downloading another "build an app" tool, and walking away with nothing. This is the opposite of that.
In three hands-on hours, you'll build a real, deployed app MVP and learn how to package that skill into your own consulting practice. By the end of the afternoon you'll have a live app URL, a plan to land your first paying client, and the tools to keep building without hitting a technical wall.
This a business-in-a-box. We're a group of operators (Sprint Studio) who build MVPs for clients every week, and we'll teach you to do the same using existing dev tools like LingCode as the engine that lets one person build and ship fast.
You'll leave knowing how to:
Build and deploy a functional app MVP even if you've never written code
Position and price a micro-consulting offer (why clients pay $1,000+ per build)
Set up the basics: entity, contracts, getting paid
Keep earning host your clients' apps on Lingcode and collect revenue share for the life of the project
