Founder's
Stack.

You don't need to code. You need to understand.

For non-technical founders who want to understand the product they're paying for.

First cohort forming now — limited spots.

// before-we-start

You have an idea.
You want to build it.

But the moment someone says server, deployment, or API — you're lost. And if you don't understand what's being built, how do you know if it's being built right?

If you know coding — great.

If you don't — that's fine too.

We'll show you how a real product works, end to end. Not theory. Real files, a real server, a real deployment — and we walk you through exactly what each piece does.

// video coming soon

// syllabus

8 modules. 8 weeks.

Each module uses a real production product as the teaching example — not made-up demos.

01

GitHub — Your Product's Memory

Every change your developer makes lives here. Learn to read your repository, understand the history, and see exactly what was built and when. You'll never have to take your developer's word for it again.

// version-control
02

Servers — Where Your Product Lives

What is a cloud server? How do you log in? What does 'the server is down' actually mean? You'll access your own server, check if your product is running, and understand what's happening under the hood.

// infrastructure
03

Docker — Packaging Your Product

Your app runs inside a container. We'll explain what that means, why it matters, and how to check if it's healthy. You'll understand exactly what your developer means when they say 'I updated the Docker image.'

// containers
04

Nginx — How the Internet Finds You

Something sits between the internet and your product and decides where traffic goes. We cover domains, HTTPS, and routing — and you'll understand how a visitor goes from typing your URL to seeing your website.

// web-server
05

Reading Your Frontend Code

Components, pages, props — the vocabulary of modern web and mobile apps. You won't write code, but you'll open your GitHub repository and understand what you're looking at. We use a real live app as the example.

// frontend
06

The Deployment Pipeline

The full lifecycle: code change → GitHub → server → live. You'll walk through a real deployment — from a small change to seeing it appear on the live product. No more mystery about what happens after your developer says 'I pushed the fix.'

// devops
07

Owning Your Infrastructure

Accounts, access, backups, and the questions to ask before you sign anything. This module is about making sure you always own what you paid for — and knowing exactly what to do if something goes wrong.

// ownership
08

AI as a Founder's Tool

Using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to extend what you can do yourself. How to read code, generate small changes, debug issues, and make faster technical decisions — without a developer on every call.

// ai-tools
// instructor

Taught by someone who does this every day.

This isn't a course built from YouTube tutorials. Every concept taught here comes from working in real production systems — at scale, under pressure, with real consequences.

The same infrastructure patterns used at large-scale Canadian tech platforms are the ones you'll learn to read and own in your own product.
