Ship a real AI application in 7 weeks. Own it. Deploy it. Keep building.
Eight builders. Hybrid sessions — some in person, some online. Enterprise discipline without the bureaucracy. No slides, no certificates: you leave with a live app running on your own domain — built by you, owned by you.
Hybrid learning — some sessions in person, some online. Builders who do strong work here sometimes end up working with us on real projects.
Three kinds of people do well here.
You want something that runs.
You already know theory is cheap. You have an idea or a problem, and you want to stop reading about AI and ship something real that works while you sleep.
You're done with courses that leave you notes.
You want the full product muscle — from idea to plan to build to live — so you can automate your own work or deliver real results inside your business.
You want proof, not a certificate.
A live app on your own domain is a portfolio piece nobody can argue with. You'll learn a real production stack and practice in a room full of people who ship.
Outcomes, not attendance.
A live AI app on your own domain — plus the documentation and playbook to keep improving it after we're done.
Every hat, worn once. Sponsor, planner, developer, tester, deployer. After this, you understand how software really gets made.
A production stack you own. Your accounts, your tools, your code. Nothing rented from us, nothing that disappears when the cohort ends.
The planning muscle. You'll scope a real project against a real date. Learning to estimate honestly is half the value here.
A small circle of people who ship. Eight builders, one room, seven weeks. The cohort stays connected in the community long after.
A path forward. Community sessions, monthly co-working, and real practice opportunities continue after the seven weeks end.
Pick a real problem from your world.
The best project is one you already care about. Bring your own, or pick from one of these proven scopes.
Your own problem
The thing that eats your evenings or leaks your money. We'll scope it with you before day one so it fits the seven weeks.
Lead capture that never sleeps
A form, a follow-up, and a database — so inquiries get answered and logged at 2 AM, not lost.
Client onboarding that feels professional
Intake, documents, and a welcome sequence that makes a one-person shop feel like a firm.
Quote follow-up assistant
Most quotes die from silence. This one follows up politely and on time, every time.
Scheduling and reminders
Bookings, confirmations, and no-show reduction — the unglamorous stuff that pays for itself first.
A knowledge assistant for your business
Your documents, prices, and policies — answered accurately by an assistant you control.
Simple reporting dashboard
The numbers you check every Monday, gathered automatically and readable at a glance.
Seven weeks. Weekend sessions. Real work in between.
We meet as a group on the weekends — some sessions in person, some online. During the week I hold office hours, and the cohort works and helps each other in the community. No lectures. You build from hour one. Full day-by-day structure
Pre-work: scope it right
- Tools and accounts set up — yours, not ours
- Problem diagnostic to pick a project worth building
- Scope locked with Dave before the first session
Build in cycles
- Weekend group sessions: plan, build, review, repeat
- Midweek office hours when you're stuck
- Cohort community open the whole time — ask, share, help
Finish and go live
- Peer testing and polish
- Final deploy to your own domain, documented
- Presentations and mastermind formation
There is no finish-line guarantee. The deadline is part of the curriculum.
No real project finishes on time unless someone learns to plan it. Hitting a real deadline with a real scope is the curriculum. You'll learn to plan the way working builders plan — or you'll keep going in the community sessions until the app is live. Either way, you leave with the muscle, and that's worth more than any promise we could print here.
You own every account. These become your permanent tools.
No surprise costs, no rented platforms. Everything below is set up in your name during pre-work, and it all keeps working after week seven.
| Tool | What it does | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Claude | Your AI building partner — planning, code, and problem-solving | $20/mo · $240/yr |
| Supabase | Your database and sign-ins | $0/mo · $0/yr to start |
| Vercel | Puts your app on the internet, automatically | $0/mo · $0/yr to start |
| GitHub | Keeps every version of your work safe | $0/mo · $0/yr |
| Your domain | Your app's permanent home address | ~$1.25/mo · ~$15/yr |
Tool costs are paid by you, directly to each provider, and stay this transparent. Paid tiers exist if your app grows — you'll know exactly when and why you'd need one.
Taught by someone who builds with this exact stack every day.
Dave Acevedo is a US Air Force veteran with 28 years of enterprise software delivery and program management behind him — including 16 years delivering at a Fortune 500 insurer.
He didn't take a course on this. He left the enterprise world and built a network of eight working platforms — a home services marketplace, an AI phone answering service, free public tools, and more — using the same stack you'll use here.
The bootcamp teaches the way that work actually happened: plan honestly, build in small pieces, test what you shipped, and put it live where real people can use it.
"I'm not going to lecture you about AI. We're going to sit down and build something real, the way real delivery works. The discomfort is the curriculum."
Dave Acevedo, founder, 2weekAIThe bootcamp ends. The building doesn't.
Every cohort rolls into the community: mastermind groups, monthly co-working, and ongoing sessions where builds get finished and new ones get started.
And a plain word about work: we run real projects for real clients. Through the bootcamp and the community, we get to see how people plan, build, and follow through. When someone consistently ships and we have client work to assign, we offer paid opportunities. No promises attached to your seat — just a straightforward path for people who show they can deliver.
One price. Everything included except your own tools.
- All 7 weeks: weekend group sessions + midweek office hours
- Pre-work scoping session with Dave
- Cohort community access, during and after
- Documentation and playbook templates you keep
- Everything in the solo seat, for both of you
- Build one app together or two side by side
- Great for business partners and small teams
- Save $994 vs two solo seats
Tool costs (about $21/mo · about $255/yr at the starter tiers above) are separate, paid directly by you, and fully transparent. The finish line depends on your effort and your plan — see "the honest part" above. Applications only; no card required to apply.
Straight answers before you apply.
Both. It's hybrid learning — group weekend sessions run some in person and some online, office hours are online, and the cohort community is always open.
Plan on the weekend group sessions plus real working time during the week. This is a build, not a lecture series — the more honest hours you put in, the further your app gets.
That's what pre-work is for. Before day one, we scope your project with you so it genuinely fits seven weeks. Cutting scope well is one of the skills you're here to learn.
No. You need a real problem and the willingness to sit with difficulty. We build with modern AI tools and teach the discipline around them — planning, testing, deploying — from hour one.
You keep going in the community sessions until your app is live. The hard date is there to teach honest planning, not to cut you off.
The only qualification that matters is a real problem you want solved.
Tell us the problem and why now. That one answer tells us more than any resume. We'll talk within 24 hours.
