§ 33Workshop · 1-Day Launch Pad

1-Day Launch Pad. Twelve hours. Three real users. One thing in production.

A single Saturday for the founder, hobbyist, or reluctant builder who has been talking about the idea for too long. We sit down at 9 AM. By 9 PM you have shipped, with at least three real users on it.

§ 01 / The day

Hour by hour.

09:00Doors. Coffee. We sit down at the same table.
09:30The cut: writing the smallest version of your idea on one card. The first ruthlessness.
10:00Build block 1. Heads down with the agent. We are one chair away if you need an unstick.
13:00Lunch. We read what you have made, push back on the parts that need it, agree on the afternoon.
14:00Build block 2. Working version due by 17:00.
17:00Dry run. You demo to one outside reader we have invited, in five minutes.
18:00The push: deploy to a real domain, send the link to your three first users, watch the response come back.
20:00Close. The day's reckoning — what worked, what to keep, the one thing you will not do tomorrow because today taught you better.
21:00Doors close. We follow up with you mid-week to see what stuck.
§ 02 / What we provide

The thing only this format can give you.

  • An entire Saturday with no other claim on it
  • A deliberately quiet room — you, sometimes one or two others, working alongside us
  • One senior facilitator with you the whole day, set up to be helpful and ruthlessly honest
  • The agent of your choice — Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor — running on your subscription
  • A real outside reader at the dry run, who tells you the truth at 5 PM
  • A standing invitation to write to us afterwards with what comes up, for as long as it stays useful
  • Lunch, dinner, and good coffee
