for entrepreneurs & business owners
Build your own software. Automate your own work. In three days.
You do not need to hire an engineering team or keep renting software built for somebody else's business. In three days across two weeks you build toward your own goal: software your business runs on, a faster way of working with AI, or an app for your own life. Whatever you choose, you walk out owning all of it — and the skill that built it stays with you for good, ready to use again on every business you own today or start tomorrow.
who is actually teaching you
Real engineers. Real big tech.
Not consultants who advise, and not influencers who post. March and Charlie studied engineering, then spent a decade shipping production systems used by billions of people. Prom makes it land for everyone in the room. All three teach every day, with a TA team beside them.

the problem
Sound familiar?
You are renting software that does not fit
Every month you pay for tools designed around someone else's business, and your team quietly bends its own process to match them.
One quote, six figures, three months of waiting
A dev shop wants hundreds of thousands of baht and months of back and forth for one app. Then every small change starts the cycle again.
Your team uses AI in ten different directions
Everyone has their own prompts and their own accounts. Nothing compounds, quality swings, and nobody is sure where the company data ends up.
You already took the AI course
You learned what AI is and you left with notes. Useful. But nothing in the business is running differently on Monday morning.
The manual task you know could be automated
It's painful, it's repetitive, and you know full well there's a way to save those hours. But you never have the time — and hiring a dev team to save a few hours makes no sense, because just explaining the requirements would cost you that much. Here's the thing: the full context is already in your head. You are the better product manager. Let AI do the building.
why this one is different
Three things that are true here.
01
Taught by engineers who shipped at big tech
March and Charlie built and ran production systems at Amazon Alexa, Meta, Google X, Robinhood, Databricks and Magic Eden. March now works on SV Academy full time. That is the difference. You are learning the real workflow from people who were paid to use it at scale, not a summary of it. And Prom, a second generation educator, shapes how every day is taught, the same teaching that carried a cohort of 10 to 15 year olds to real, shipped apps. Meet the team →
02
What you build is live before you go home on Day 1
Not a mockup, not a slide, not a plan for later. A real address on the internet, whether it is an app your customers open or an automation that quietly runs part of your work, live that same evening. This is non negotiable, and it is what makes the week that follows work.
03
You own everything, and the receipts are public
The code, the accounts, the whole system belong to you. No monthly rent, no vendor lock in. And you do not have to take our word for it: our first cohort was ten students aged 10 to 15, and every app they shipped is still running today. Open them yourself →
price
฿59,000 is the Early Bird price. First 10 seats only.
Once those ten seats are taken, the price is ฿69,000. A duo counts as two of the ten.
Solo · one seat
regular price ฿69,000
Everything included, from the online Day 0 through the Demo Day dinner and the four follow-up sessions afterwards.
Apply for a seatDuo · two seats
regular price ฿129,000
฿54,500 each, and ฿9,000 less than two solo seats. Bring your partner, your right hand, or a friend in the same boat. You do not have to be from the same company, and going back with someone who gets it is worth more than the discount.
Apply as a duothe curriculum
Not just three days. Eight sessions.
Three full days across two weeks, a Day 0 online session the week before, and four follow-up sessions in the two months after — because the goal is software your business actually runs on, not a demo that ends with the course.
Day 0
Ready to build
12 to 13 September · online · 30 minutes, your own slot
- A short brief of what you want to build, so we can shape the days around it
- Guided setup: your GitHub, Vercel, Anthropic, Stitch and PostHog accounts provisioned
- Outcome: you arrive on Day 1 ready to create, not configure
Day 1
First build, then Founders' Night
Saturday 19 September · full day
- Morning: how modern software actually works, without the jargon, then straight into building with your own hands
- Afternoon: grouped by what you came to build, you work on your own goal with mentors beside you
- End of day: what you built goes live on your own address. Non negotiable
- Evening: Founders' Night dinner with the cohort
the gap week
It meets the real world
20 to 25 September · no class
- You put it to work where it belongs, in your business or your week
- The team answers questions in the group chat throughout
- You come back on Day 2 with real use behind it instead of guesses
Day 2
Make it real, plus AI Power Hour
Saturday 26 September · full day
- Build on what the week showed you, in whatever direction your goal needs
- AI Power Hour: the tricks our engineers use in their own work, that you can put to use right away
- Guest speaker over lunch, 45 minutes
- Late afternoon: pitch rehearsal, with slides built from your own work
Day 3
Demo Day and the final dinner
Sunday 27 September · full day
- Morning: final polish and run through
- Afternoon: six minute pitches to a judging panel and invited guests
- Evening: dinner and after party
follow-ups × 4
We stay until it sticks
twice a month, for the two months after the cohort
- Four working sessions to make sure your software runs robustly in your real business — Demo Day is the start, not the end
- Bring what broke, what confused your team, what you want to build next — and fix it in the room, with the mentors and your cohort
- The founders care about your success. We don't leave you stranded with software you can't maintain
what you leave with
Software, not a certificate.
- The skill itself. The software serves one business — the ability to build it is yours forever, reusable on every business you own now or start next
- What you built, live on your own address and owned outright: code, accounts, everything
- Real use behind it, and the habit of improving from what actually happened
- Your stack provisioned and running: GitHub, Vercel, Anthropic, Stitch, PostHog
- A build plan you can keep running long after the cohort ends
- A pitch built from your own work, delivered to a real panel
included, at no extra cost
The price is the price.
- All three full days, plus the online Day 0
- Meals through each day
- Founders' Night dinner, the guest speaker lunch, and the Demo Day dinner with after party
- All four follow-up sessions — twice a month for the two months after the cohort — so your software keeps running robustly in your business and you never build alone
how to join
Three steps, and one short conversation.
01
Send the application form
Two minutes. Tell us about your business and what you want to build. Prefer to ask first? Message us on LINE (ID @svacademy) or call Khun Prom on 088-795-4941.
02
A short chat
We look at the problem you want to solve and check that this course is the right fit for it, before you commit anything.
03
Your seat is confirmed
We book your personal 30 minute Day 0 slot, and you are in the room.
questions
Everything people ask before they book.
What is this course, exactly?
A three day course where you build something real with AI, until it genuinely works on the internet. You pick the goal: software your business runs on, a faster way of working with AI the way Silicon Valley engineers do, or an app for your own life. It is not a lecture about what AI is. You walk out with something that works, and you own all of it: the code, the accounts, the system.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Most people who join have never written code. What you need is one problem in your business you want to solve, and the willingness to actually build in the room. Mentors and TAs are beside you the whole time.
What will I actually build?
You choose, and all three directions are open: software your business runs on, a faster way you and your team work with AI, or an app for your own life. Things that genuinely fit in three days: a booking or appointment system connected to LINE, a quotation or invoice generator, a stock checker, a market research tool, or a dashboard for the numbers you care about. On Day 0 we talk it through so it fits the time you have.
Who teaches it?
All three founders teach, every day. March and Charlie are Thai software engineers who built systems at Amazon Alexa, Databricks, Magic Eden, Meta, Google X and Robinhood. March works on SV Academy full time. Prom leads design and the learning experience. A TA team supports the room throughout.
What are the dates?
Day 0 is online, on 12 or 13 September. Once you book your seat, we arrange your own 30 minute slot with you, to set up your machine and scope your project. Day 1 is Saturday 19 September, full day, and what you build goes live that day, with Founders' Night dinner in the evening. Day 2 is Saturday 26 September, full day, building on what the week showed you, plus AI Power Hour. Day 3 is Sunday 27 September, Demo Day in front of a judging panel and invited guests, followed by dinner and the after party.
Why is there a gap week between Day 1 and Day 2?
On purpose. That week what you built gets used for real, wherever it belongs in your business or your week. When you come back on Day 2 you know what actually worked and where it got stuck, so you improve from reality instead of guessing. The team answers questions in the group chat all week.
How much is it?
Solo is ฿69,000 regular, and ฿59,000 Early Bird for the first 10 seats only. Duo is ฿129,000 regular, and ฿109,000 Early Bird. The price includes everything: all three full days, meals during the day, Founders' Night dinner, Demo Day and the after party, and the follow up after the course ends.
What does the duo seat mean?
Two of you attend together. A business partner, your right hand at the company, or a friend running a similar business. You do not have to be from the same company. It saves ฿9,000 against two separate seats, but the real benefit is having someone who went through it with you when you get back to work. Please give both names when you book.
What are the Early Bird conditions?
The first 10 seats only. A duo counts as 2 seats. It closes when those 10 are taken or in early September, whichever comes first.
How many people are in the cohort?
Thirty, and no more. We cap it because the whole point is having mentors and TAs beside you while you build, rather than sitting and listening.
Where is it held?
In Bangkok. The exact venue is being confirmed and will be announced shortly. Ask us on LINE and we will tell you the moment it is set.
What do I need to bring?
One personal laptop. A MacBook is easiest, but Windows works fine. And one problem in your business you want to solve. Accounts and tools are all installed for you on Day 0.
What language is it taught in?
Thai, with the English technical terms the industry actually uses. Materials are bilingual, and every instructor is equally at home in English if your Thai is not strong.
Can my company pay? Can you issue a tax invoice?
Yes, companies can pay. For documents and invoicing details, talk to us directly and we will confirm what applies to your case.
What happens after the course?
You own everything you built: code, accounts, the whole system. You also get four follow-up sessions — twice a month for the two months after the cohort — to keep your software running robustly in your business, develop it further, trade notes with the other owners, and ask the founders questions directly.
What if I cannot make one of the days?
The three days build on each other, so please plan to attend all of them. If something genuinely unavoidable comes up, tell us in advance and we will talk it through with you.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
Because seats are strictly limited and we prepare a place, equipment and accounts for each person in advance, we do not offer refunds. You can transfer your seat to someone else by telling us at least 7 days before the course starts.
If we postpone or cancel the course ourselves, you choose: a full refund, or a seat in the next cohort.
Who is this for?
Business owners, entrepreneurs and executives who have a problem in their business they want to solve with technology, and are ready to build it themselves.
Who is it not for?
If you want someone to build the app for you while you watch, this is not the right fit. We teach you to do it, we are not a dev shop. And if you want deep AI theory, other courses will serve you better.
How do I join?
Send the application form on this site and we will come back with the full course details, then arrange a short chat to check that your business problem is a good fit. If you would rather ask questions first, message us on LINE (ID @svacademy) or call Khun Prom on 088-795-4941.
