Launch campaign, up to 75% off, first cohort only

Starts August 15, 2026·10 of 10 seats left

The August 2026 cohort is our launch campaign. First-cohort founders save 50% on Class and 75% on 1:1 + Build + Deploy. After this cohort, regular pricing returns: $500/mo (Class) and $2,000/mo (1:1 + Build + Deploy).

How the program runs, week by week

Eight weeks for a small product, twelve weeks for a medium one. Every cohort starts on the same day, runs to the same finish, and ends with a live app in production with the Claude Code framework installed in your repo.

  1. Weeks 1 to 2
    360 review and plan

    We review what you have (or what you want to build), produce a written 360 plan covering security, function, and legal data handling, and you leave week 2 with a one-page roadmap. You also have Claude Code installed and a first commit on your repo.

  2. Weeks 3 to 6
    Build with weekly coaching

    You drive Claude Code (or the AI tool you prefer). We coach weekly. In 1:1 + Build + Deploy we also review every commit you push, and we pair on the trickiest features. By week 6 the app handles real users on a staging URL.

  3. Weeks 7 to 8
    Production deploy and hand-off

    We deploy to production with you, install Sentry, GitHub Actions CI, hosting, DNS, and backups, and tune the Claude Code framework (memory, skills, hooks) in your repo so the same bug never ships twice. You ship the next feature without us.

What happens after you submit

  1. 1

    Confirmation email, within one business day

    Zoho automation sends you a confirmation with the cohort start date and a link to schedule the 15-minute intro call. If you do not see it, check your spam folder and search for 'IB Group'.

  2. 2

    15-minute intro call (free)

    We confirm fit. You confirm fit. No money moves on this call. If we are not the right match for your project we will tell you, and we will recommend who is.

  3. 3

    Payment is direct, after the intro call

    Bank transfer or Wise. No Upwork escrow on this product. You pay the first month, we kick off the next Monday, and you can cancel after any month with no penalty.

  4. 4

    Kickoff: the Monday after payment clears

    First weekly call on the calendar, Slack channel open, Claude Code framework installed in your repo within the first 48 hours. The launch campaign discount holds your seat for 5 business days from application.

Common questions before you apply

What if you decide we are not a fit?

We tell you on the 15-minute intro call. Nothing moves to payment. We will also recommend an engineer or agency that fits your situation better, so the call is never wasted time.

What if my product is bigger than 2 months?

We continue beyond month 2 at the same monthly rate (launch campaign or regular, whichever you started on). You keep cancelling at the end of any month. Most products that need a third month are heavy on integrations rather than core scope.

Can I switch from Class to 1:1 mid-cohort?

Yes. You pay the difference for the months you spend in 1:1 and we add the missing deploy and system-install scope to your remaining weeks. The reverse (1:1 to Class) only works at month boundaries because the cohort group seats are sized in advance.

What if I need to drop out mid-program?

Cancel at the end of any month. The Claude Code framework we installed in your repo is yours to keep. You also keep every artefact we produced together: the 360 review document, the deploy scripts, the operational runbook.

Will my application affect the cohort price for me?

No. The launch campaign price you see when you apply is the price you pay for as long as you are in the cohort. Future cohorts revert to the regular price, but you keep the launch rate while you stay in this one.
