I'm always looking for tools to help…

I'm always looking for tools to help our traditional engineers get up to speed on vibe coding. The Startup Story courses are not just for beginners; they're for experienced developers who want to learn vibe coding in a concise, entertaining, and no-fluff format.

I was shocked that it actually worked.

They made it so that I could follow along, for not having any experience in app building I admit that I had to replay some lessons over and over again...never the less I took my time and eventually build someting. Me, not having any experience succeeded in building an app...I was shocked when it actually worked! Thank you.

The AI Builder Bootcamp was a fantastic experience!

The AI Builder Bootcamp was a gamechanger for me! It took me from tinkering with AI builds to deploying real working apps with official domains. I was able to create interactive lead magnets that can add huge value for my potential clients and I did so in just one week at a time for each! It was incredible and actionable value. Even if you think you’re really busy, sign up, show up, ship things, and you won’t regret it.

This Program Takes You From 0 to Hero. Full stop.

I started with 0 technical knowledge. By following the steps in the Starter Story program, I built and shipped my first tech product by myself within the week. More importantly, I now have the system, knowledge, and experience to do it again and again.

Starter Story bootcamps are awesome

I attended Starter Story's 4x4 bootcamp and it was awesome. I learned so much and enjoyed every moment. Best of all, I feel confident that I can continue to build on this. Thank you so much Alex & Starter Story Team!

crème de la crème experience

I was mixed when I first got it but soon just started loving what I was learning. Lazar did an excellent job of giving you the tools and systems to help you build but also think like a builder.
I have enjoyed this a lot and it has given me frameworks and skills that I can use forever.
In simple, its the best for learning to build and continuing to build.

Finally a way to build apps without coding stress

I signed up because I’ve always loved the idea of building apps, but traditional coding has been stop and go for me… fun, but the syntax usually derails me from actually finishing projects. The AI App Bootcamp flipped that experience on its head.

The training hit every learning style (written, audio/visual, hands-on), and it was so well put together that following along felt easy and natural. I ended up building a group travel app that lets friends and family plan trips together, vote on ideas, and assign planning tasks… all in one place instead of messy text threads and emails.

What stood out most was how doable the whole process felt. The office hours, Slack community, and even their dedicated concierge made it super easy to get questions answered and stay on track. They also reminded us not to worry about building our “million dollar idea” right away, but instead to focus on learning the skills to eventually get there… which was such a refreshing perspective.

If you’ve ever wanted to build apps or tools but felt held back by coding, this program shows you just how possible it is. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone curious about no-code and AI-powered app building.

Starter Story gave me the idea for my business

Starter Story gave me the idea for my business. I saw how someone built a site over the years to $14mil/yr and thought "why can't I do that?". I have no idea how to code or anything, but found a way to make it happen with tools we have today. Now we have thousands of users and an actual team.

They're legit.

Their free videos are great for tips and tricks (and stories). Their paid community is even better (I've been a part of it for a bit).

Since diving into their SEO program, my business is making more money.

Since diving into their program to make an app, I almost have an app ready to launch and sell to people.

10/10 recommend joining / watching the videos and creating something

Scammy tactics

Scammy tactics that lead users to sign up and then we are required to buy a subscription before we can access content. No way to delete my account. They now have a 'signed-up' user that they are monetizing, without my consent. I wish to delete my account with Starter Story - the website does not provide a way to do this, nor can I find any contact details. Very strange.

Hey there - thanks for the feedback! We're working on building something that will allow users to directly delete their email address, but for now, if you can reach out to support@starterstory.com we can handle it for you!

Thanks!

NOT A SCAM but TERRIBLE!

NOT A SCAM, BUT TERRIBLE. They sell a course that is basically a summary of a bigger course sold by someone else. Not a scam, because the course exist, will you learn anything? Problably not.

Hey James. I'm sorry to hear about this experience but I believe there must be a mistake. With our AI bootcamp, you should have lifetime access to the course/bootcamp as well as the Slack community.

Can you please send us an email at support@starterstory.com so we can help you? I'm trying to locate your account/purchase, but I'm having trouble finding the purchase. Thanks!
