What is spec coding and how does it help founders build MVPs?

Spec coding is a systematic approach to building software where founders create detailed specifications before writing code. This helps non-technical founders communicate their vision clearly and work effectively with AI coding tools to build MVPs faster. Our 4-week cohort teaches founders to turn their ideas into working products.

How much does the spec coding cohort cost compared to hiring developers?

The Agentic Spec Coding Academy cohort costs $2,000, which is significantly less than hiring a development team ($15,000-$50,000+ for an MVP). You also gain the skills to iterate on your product independently, saving ongoing development costs.

Who should join the spec coding founder cohort?

The cohort is designed for serious product founders in Singapore and Bangalore who have a clear product idea but need guidance building their MVP. Ideal participants are aspiring entrepreneurs, solo founders, or product managers looking to build without traditional coding skills. Limited to 5 participants per cohort for personalized attention.

What will I learn in the 4-week MVP building cohort?

You will learn spec coding fundamentals, how to use AI-assisted development tools like Cursor and Base44, product specification writing, MVP architecture, and rapid prototyping. By the end of the cohort, you will have a working MVP of your product idea.

Is the spec coding cohort available in Singapore and Bangalore?

Yes, the Agentic Spec Coding Academy offers cohorts for founders in both Singapore and Bangalore. The program uses a blended learning format combining online sessions with local community support, making it accessible to founders in both cities.
