Ship
Five days. Two people. A system you can deploy. Two Macs to take home — or bring your own.
Ship is the tier for two people who want to leave VibeFest with something they'd be ready to deploy immediately — not a prototype, not a proof-of-concept, an actual thing that's theirs to use and build on.
It's a pair. Two co-founders. Two engineers at the same company. A founder and their operator. Whoever you'd choose to sit next to for five days and build something real with. Two ways in: $4,999 and we provide the silicon (a Mac Mini Node and a MacBook Neo, both yours to keep), or $2,999 and you bring your own modern Macs. Either way you get the week-long studio access — you bring the idea and the partner.
What the time looks like.
Kickoff.
Scope your project. Shape the agent. Set up your pair's workflow. (Vibe runs first thing at 9 if you want the warmup.) By end-of-day you have a runnable skeleton and a partner rhythm.
Drop in to Vibe, Learn, and Build.
The studio is open. You're welcome to sit in on any Vibe, Learn, or Build session happening — borrow what's useful — but mostly you're at your bench with your partner, shipping.
Class continued.
By Friday your pair has questions only your specific use case raises. (Vibe runs first thing at 9 if you want the warmup, same as Monday.) We work them through. Polish the system, write the runbook, ship it somewhere your user can touch it.
Public demo slot.
If you want to show what you built to the wider Saturday crowd — attendees, community, prospects — the floor is yours.
What you walk out with.
- A system you can deploy immediately, built with your partner.
- Two Macs — a Mac Mini Node (workhorse) and a MacBook Neo (mobile), yours to keep on the $4,999 path; BYO Macs on the $2,999 path.
- The full week's materials, plus drop-in access to every other tier.
- A co-built thing with the person you chose — often the most valuable part.
Who it’s for.
For you if
- You have a pair in mind. (Co-founder, spouse, partner, colleague.)
- You have a real problem you want to build against — not a learning exercise.
- You can commit the full week, both of you.
- You'd value a system you can deploy + a week of focused pairing (plus two Macs on the $4,999 path) more than the cash alternative.
Maybe not if
- You want to learn fundamentals first — Vibe, Learn, or Build will serve you better.
- You need dedicated white-glove consulting — that's a different engagement.
Where to go from here.
$4,999 (pair, we source two Macs yours to keep) · $2,999 (pair, BYO Macs — BYO + a friend works out near $1,500/person) · Mac hardware refundable with 10% restocking fee · Karmamax: donate your Macs to Sprocket — tax write-off for you, SotA hardware for a local school.
