Idea LaunchPad: Build Your App
Learn to build your idea into a working application and launch it live.
For working professionals with zero technical background.
This Is the Best Time to Be a Non-Technical Founder
Solo founders are building and launching applications without writing a single line of code. Apps that solve real problems. Apps that generate revenue. Apps built in weeks, not years.
The shift happened in 2024-2025 when AI coding agents removed the technical barrier. Now the limiting factor isn't coding knowledge. It's clear thinking and the ability to articulate what you want to build.
If you have an app idea and the commitment, you can build it.
That's what Idea LaunchPad does.
We're the only KHDA-approved institute in the UAE teaching with Claude Code and Codex CLI, the two most powerful AI coding agents globally. They work like ChatGPT: you describe what you want, they build it.
Choose your format (5-day intensive or 6-week part-time) and work in a cohort of 12 where you build and deploy your first working application.
From Zero to Deployed in 6 Sessions
The skill isn't coding. It's directing AI through clear thinking.
Here's the exact process you'll follow to bring your app idea to life:
Foundation, Validation & First Deployment
Turn your idea into a focused MVP that solves a real problem. Validate it against reality, strip it to essentials, and form your 4-person team pod. Deploy your first live page to a real URL within hours. This is where ideas stop being theoretical: you'll leave with a validated concept, your team, and a working product online.
Design, User Flow & Style Guide
Before building, design how it should work and feel. Map user journeys, sketch the critical screens, and study top products for inspiration. Create a style guide that locks in colors, layout, and voice so every feature you build stays aligned. By the end you have a clear visual blueprint directing all future development.
Core Feature Development & AI Direction
Direct AI like your engineering team to build your app's main function. Break complex features into clear, testable components and command agents to code, review, and deploy safely. This is where your app goes from static page to functional product: it performs its first real task and you understand how to ship production-grade code.
Database & User Accounts
Give your product memory and secure access. Connect a database to store and retrieve real user data, then build authentication so each person has a private, protected space. Learn how modern apps handle login security and data privacy while AI handles the technical complexity. Your app now behaves like a professional platform.
Polish & Integration
Merge function with experience. Refine your interface, verify mobile responsiveness, and align every visual element with your style guide. Master fast testing and debugging techniques to eliminate friction. By the end your MVP feels cohesive, professional, and ready to put in front of real users.
Testing, Presentation & Demo Day
Ship your product. Run final quality checks, gather peer feedback, and prepare your product story. Fix last-minute issues with AI assistance and rehearse your pitch. Present your live, deployed MVP with a working URL and a clear roadmap for growth. Walk away with confidence, documentation, and a real product you built in five intense days or six focused evenings.
Outcome
A live, functional MVP built in five intense days or six focused evenings with zero developers. You'll master how to validate ideas, design with intention, and direct AI tools like a founding technical team. This isn't guided learning: it's building real products that real users can access, and gaining the capability to do it again for any idea you conceive.
We keep cohorts small (max 12 participants) so you get real individual attention. Message us on WhatsApp or give us a call to discuss your specific situation.
Who Is This For?
This program is for working professionals who want to learn how to build applications with AI tools. Maybe you have a specific app idea you're ready to bring to life. Maybe you just want to gain the capability to build. Either way, you need to commit to the format you choose and be ready to learn intensively.
You'll work alongside 11 other professionals building their own projects. The cohort becomes your first builder network.
Whether you're based in Dubai or flying in to build with us in the city of innovation, this is where ideas become real applications.
Program Format
We offer two ways to complete Idea LaunchPad. Both are fully hands-on. Both deliver a deployed application.
5-Day Intensive
Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. You'll build your application with us from start to finish. We stay with you while your agents run, while you build, while you troubleshoot. Five consecutive days of focused building with continuous instructor support.
6-Week Part-Time
One evening per week, 6pm to 9pm, for six weeks. You'll build with us hands-on each session—set up systems, start your agents, and make real progress. Between sessions, your agents continue working while you're away. Come back the next week to build the next layer with instructor support.

Talk to NadiaDubai: Where the World Comes to Build
This program happens in Dubai for a reason. It's where innovation, investment, and ambition converge. Build your app during the day. Network with founders, investors, and fellow builders at night. Experience a city designed for people who create things.
You'll leave with more than a deployed application. You'll have connections in one of the world's fastest-growing tech ecosystems and memories of a week that changed everything.
Dubai is accessible. Visa-free for 150+ countries. Five-hour flight from most of Europe, Asia, and Africa. World-class dining, experiences, and energy. Combine five days of intensive learning with one of the best weeks of your life.
Investment: AED 9,600
By your last session, you'll have a deployed application with your name on it. More valuable: you'll have the capability to build any app idea you have from that point forward.
Upcoming Cohorts
Limited to 12 participants per cohort
