AI Dev Bootcamp | Ship Your Product in 12 Weeks

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

Run 3 cohorts of 33 students at $1,500 each and you net $150k year-1 - but getting 33 paying developer students per cohort requires 3,000+ engaged followers that most operators spend 12-18 months building before seeing.

Go-to-market motion

Twitter/X and LinkedIn content showing AI product builds → grow audience of 5-10k developers → cohort waitlist launch → convert 1-3% to $1,500 seats, targeting 3 cohorts/year of 25-100 students each.

Key risks

Developer education is notoriously resistant to paid formats - Fireship, freeCodeCamp, and free AI docs outcompete on price ($0), making paid bootcamp conversion rates 1-3% of audience at best
12-week 'ship your product' promise creates refund and reputation exposure if 30%+ of students don't complete - dev community word-of-mouth cuts both ways hard and fast
AI tooling changes quarterly, forcing expensive curriculum rewrites every 3-4 months or risking negative reviews for teaching already-deprecated patterns
