Who it's for.
You've never built an app

- No technical background needed
- Learn only what actually matters in 28 days
You started but never shipped
You started. You stalled. This gives you the structure and accountability to actually get it done.
- Pick the right idea and commit to it
- Build features users actually need
- Compliance, pricing, and launch all included
You're building alongside a full-time job
The programme is designed for 4 hours per week. Live sessions in the evening. Recordings available immediately after. Your day job stays intact.
- 4 hours per week, no more
- Practice over theory, always
- The right way to start your side-business
Why most builds fail
The three most common reasons first apps never ship.
Starting without a plan
Jumping straight into building without defining what the app actually does, who it's for, and what success looks like. We fix this in Session 1.
Ignoring compliance until it's too late
Building something that can't be sold to enterprise buyers or regulated markets because compliance was an afterthought. We bake it in from the start.
Building what you think users want
Features built on assumptions instead of validated demand. We run customer discovery in week one so every hour of build time is earned.
The programme
28 days. 6 live sessions. One working app.
Structured build programme with live sessions, direct feedback, and a cohort of up to 30 founders building alongside you. Evenings only. 4 hours per week.
Week 1. Idea & Plan
💡 Find Your Idea
How to find profitable ideas for emerging markets. Good vs. bad evaluation. Leave with one committed, validated idea you're ready to build. Participants get full access to the Startup Ideas database (150+ validated ideas) before Session 1.
Output: Your idea
📋 Plan Your App
App structure, data model, MVP scope. Leave with a complete rollout plan that tells you exactly what to build first — and what to leave for v2.
Output: Build plan
Week 2. Build
🏗️ Tech Stack & Design
Set up the AI-powered build stack we use across every Altrova venture. Design fundamentals and your first screens. No code — just a clean, modern app that actually works.
Output: App foundation
⚙️ Core Build & Compliance
Database, login, and core features. This is also where we map the compliance architecture for your market — what your app needs to be sold to enterprise or regulated buyers in the region.
Output: Working core
Week 3. Launch
🔌 Payments, APIs & Security
Stripe integration so your first user can pay. API connections. Security and stability review so enterprise procurement doesn't bounce you at the first demo. Testing protocols.
Output: Revenue-ready
🚀 Launch & Distribution
Landing page, pricing strategy, launch checklist, first user acquisition. For top performers: an introduction to Altrova's enterprise distribution network and direct portfolio consideration.
Output: Live app
What's included
