The AI Build Accelerator [A25]

April 01 - April 14, 2025

Turn Your Idea Into A Real App Using Only AI

A proven framework to go from idea to working product in less than two weeks, without writing code.Enroll Now

01The Shift

Most people think building an AI-powered app takes months of coding and deep technical skills.

It doesn’t.

With the right approach, AI can build the app for you—you just need to know how to guide it.

That’s why we created The AI Build Accelerator [A25]—a two-week sprint where you’ll learn to think like a developer, leverage AI tools, and build real, working products alongside a group of others.

02Take Action

Focus, execute, repeat, win.

The AI Build Accelerator [A25] is NOT about some hack. It is about DOING.

Most beginners waste months stuck on technical roadblocks, tweaking buttons, and second-guessing themselves.

The best founders focus on building and shipping.

Lovable makes that possible—without needing to master code first.

In just two weeks, you'll go from idea to a real app, faster than ever.

And you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be part of a group of founders, all sharing feedback, insights, and support every step of the way.

03The Framework

Master The Art (& Science) Of Building with AI

Instead of wasting time on tutorials that show you how to build a random app you’ll never use, this sprint teaches you how to think like a developer and actually use AI tools to build real, working products.

What You’ll Learn

• AI-First Building: How to talk to AI so it builds the app for you.

• Scale Without Coding: The documentation-first approach that saves you weeks of trial and error.

• Design Like a Pro: Use design libraries and templates to make your app look legit.

• Debugging Made Easy: Problem-solving techniques so you’re never stuck.

The AI Build Accelerator [A25] gives you a clear framework to focus on the right things, get real feedback, and stay accountable.

04The Operating System

This is way more than a course

We’ve custom built an operating system to help you stay focused, track your progress, and hit your milestones.

From deep work sessions to live metrics shared with the group, it’s designed to keep you accountable and moving forward every single day.

Deep Work

Every day, you will intentionally start deep work sessions, you’ll have confidence that you’re working on the right things, and you’ll have a daily plan of attack waiting for you.

Accountability

Momentum is everything. That’s why we’ve built in accountability measures to ensure you show up every day—even if it’s just 30 minutes.

Metrics & Tracking

Our scorecard keeps your progress visible to the group, giving you that extra push to keep those numbers climbing every day.

Feedback

Join weekly office hours with Pat, get feedback from successful founders, and feel clarity and confidence to move your ideas forward.

Word on the street

Here’s what people are saying about their experience

Tom Ryan

Selfarama

Wow. In just 15 months, I went from generating $1.5k to hitting $3k this month, and on track for $5k.

Having a supportive community (Starter Story) that normalizes success and growth was key.

Katy Culver

I set a goal to generate $10K/mo. Just 30 days later, I reached my goal, earning $10,047 in revenue! Feeling abundant - earning money from complete strangers on the internet never gets old.

Isaac Tai

dashp

Finally crossed 100k ARR on my SaaS project. The accelerator (and deep work) was a huge part of making daily progress.

Connor Lewis

StudioLewis

Wow. I set a goal to hit $40K in revenue this month, and I’m closing it out at $56K. Spent my deep work hours prospecting, writing proposals, and pitching. Man, I’m tired but it was so worth it.

Richard Bowdler

That was ace. Feel like I've had the most unusual workout over the last month. Wouldn't have got here without deep focus. First month into Starter Story has been a game changer in how i approach getting sh*t done.

Kyle Kelly

I achieved my goal of launching. And I've never come this close. Deep work feels like it's a part of how I operate now. And I love it. I would wake up every morning at 4am, log into starter story and get my deep work in, I hit the gym at 6am PST, and I've already won the day no matter what happens after that. Grateful.

Lazar Jovanovic

I made more progress in the last 35 days than in 35 years prior. I went from having 100 ideas and 0 execution, to 1 idea and 100% ship fast mentality. I owe it all to a few moments of encouragement that I never got before, not for the lack of skill, but for the lack of trying. Don't wait. Start tonight. LFG!!!

Rahul Kahani

This got me moving forward on things I wish I started 3-4 months ago. Thank you!

Steven Dege

Coach Locate

I don't think I ever would have taken the first step without Starter Story.

Alan Lai

Stealth

Have you ever launched your product in less than 2 weeks? Well, I did it. But I couldn't have done it without Pat or this program. If it weren’t for Starter Story, I might still be working on features that don’t matter. Now, I’m focused on getting customers.

Robert El Hussein

Craftiqo

Joined Starter Story, there’s no looking back. I absolutely love the program, the community, and the team. It’s so empowering to know that I can validate any idea within just 4 weeks!

Ana M. Pricop

For Humainity

Pat & his team are so close to you during the experience. It felt like a performance sports team where we all work individually and together to make something great happen. Plus - the accountability, content & structure are top notch.

Steven Irby

Agents Code

Don't waste months or years trying to crack the code on how to start an online business. Just join Starter story, listen, learn, and get shipping.

Denny Vuong

Promo Amp

This accelerator gave me the structure, focus, accountability and motivation I needed to get my first paid customer!

Chris Piccaro

OptAIcs

Launched a landing page, validated my idea, and talked to potential customers in just 3 weeks! Very proud of OptAIcs so far thanks to Starter Story.

Joshua Sinclair

Repunix

We didn't just learn the theory, we put everything into practice through real-world projects. The accelerator was challenging but well-paced, highly recommend.

James Newman

Find College Jobs

Would highly recommend joining if you're still on the fence about it. You will ship something and you will be pushed to do it. Stop overthinking it, and send it!

Emre Yavuz

Grow Buddy

No other program I’ve been part of has offered such positively life changing transformation in just five weeks - plus the incredible experience of being surrounded by other like-minded people! If you’re ready to start an online business, join Starter Story and take your place in the next accelerator!

Johnson Ha

CloseChart

Great community, amazing members, and an accountability platform that ensures that each cohort is focused on shipping, building and growing a business idea.

Jesse Stanley

LinkPilot

Pat and Starter Story have inspired me to execute on my ideas with more conviction in 5 weeks than I have had in the previous 3 years. There is no better community out there for builders who want to actually ship something and make $$$.

AI Apps Academy

Amy Porter

Syncly

This program is unique. You MUST do deep work. You are guided, week by week. It’s so great to finally get an outline that works, that doesn't give you time to get caught up in nonsense, and just prioritizes your time and efforts.

Micro SaaS Academy

Jack Teerman

Sierra Reach

This cohort not only gave me the knowledge I needed to start my business but also the discipline to network with others and the confidence to put my idea into the world. You can’t teach that in a regular course, and that’s what makes Starter Story different.

Devon Neill

The accountability and gamification in the accelerator was such a good motivator. I finally launched my MVP. I also felt like I wasn't doing it alone, thanks to the good vibes and feedback from my cohort and the Starter Story team.

Tobias Schar

Joining this program pushed me to make some of the toughest decisions in my life, but they were the right ones. The support and deep focus I gained through this experience gave me the courage to let go of what wasn’t working and double down on my real passion. I’ve already seen the results, and I’m excited for what’s to come. This was a game-changer.

Mattias Malki

Lebensstory

Just amazing. The structure, tasks, and gamified process has really pushed me to do the necessary work. It is just crazy good.

David Efhan

I've accomplished more than I ever have and learned a lot along the way. Most importantly, I've made PROGRESS and finally have enough momentum to launch my idea.

Leo Buller

Chili Clips

Just closed my first client. Such a proud moment for me.

Greg Miliatis

Committing to this program actually got me off the sidelines & taking action. In the past, I'd have an idea like this, then sit on it for months without doing anything. This changed everything for me.

Anastasia Marchenkova

This cohort caused me to hustle and get my biggest cash month to date + fastest outreach to close ever!

Jonathan Truong

Fun Camp

I can't think of a better place than Starter Story for the everyday person to take their side hustle to the next level. The community is filled with smart and like-minded individuals who are driven to build great businesses. Pat and team are highly involved with the community, bringing tremendous value and insights.
