Vibecode Lisboa

Unveiling FounderOS

Thu, Nov 5 · 7:00 PM WEST

The Clubhouse | Founder's Cowork Community, Tv. das Pedras Negras 1 2nd Floor, 1100-404 Lisboa, Portugal, Lisboa, PT

RSVP on our site to hold your spot: vibecodelisboa.com/events/unveiling-founderos. That is the official guest list, and RSVPs there get the hi-res screen recording of the session plus links to everything demonstrated.
Agentic AI tools have democratized who can create apps but the common refrain from VCL students is "I know HOW to build now but do you have a system that helps me with WHAT to build?"
FounderOS is that system and this the initial public unveil of how it works.
So what is FounderOS?
A step-by-step staged approach that takes you from "I don't even have an idea" to an audience you deeply understand, a reliable fountain of limitless educational content you can use to communicate with them and build trust, and a product that emerges from their real problems. You work through a gated series of deliverables to get to full proficiency and sovereignty.
It builds upon proven entrepreneurial frameworks like: Amy Hoy and Alex Hillman's 30x500, Steve Blank's Customer Development, Rob Fitzpatrick's The Mom Test, Clayton Christensen's Jobs to Be Done, Ash Maurya's Running Lean and Alex Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas. FounderOS stitches them into one unified system and enables you to use agents for the grunt work. Think of it as the grand unified field theory of early-stage side hustle building.
Plan for the evening
We'll take one person from the room through FounderOS live, starting from zero:

• Pick an audience. The group of people you want to serve.
• Find where they hang out. The forums, subreddits and communities where they talk.
• Do systematic market research. Comb through real threads for the problems people complain about, in their own words to gather primary source material.
• Develop deep customer empathy. Take structured notes on what people are saying out in the wild, then make sense of it and extract invaluable insights.
• Write your first piece of calibrated educational content. Develop a mini fix to one of their pains and ship it. This is how you build your list and earn trust before you have anything to sell.

Then we unlock the advanced tools: ThreadScout, custom podcast coaching, tablet integration for offline reading and annotations, Personas, clustering… you'll see how to steer FounderOS and use it to develop your first product and launch.
What you will walk away with

• The whole path, in order. From no idea, to an audience, to useful content people actually want, to a product direction grounded in what they need.
• A live example run from scratch. A real audience, real threads and a real first mini-solution that did not exist.
• The makings of a launch. How the trust you build with content turns into your first customers.
• Answers to your own questions, including whatever is blocking a project you already have in mind.

Bring your laptop if you want to follow along. Bring any stumper questions you have from whatever you're currently working on.

WANT TO GO DEEPER? On 11 to 13 December we run the Agentic AI Mastery Weekend, a three-day crash course at DOMA in Mafra. You learn how to build software with these tools, set up Behalf.bot as your own executive assistant and learn the process for delegating real work to it and using it as a force multiplier. Launching a side hustle is the substrate we use for teaching these powerful tools. Six spots, applications close 3 December. Attendees of this talk get access to early-bird pricing even after expiry.

Agentic AI Mastery Weekend

Fri, Dec 11 · 10:00 AM WEST

DOMA Portugal, N8, 2665-006 Mafra, Portugal, Mafra, PT

€699 (early bird €499, ends 31 October). Places are sold on our site: https://vibecodelisboa.com/events/agentic-ai-mastery-weekend. Application-based, 6 places.
You’ve seen seductive demos. Someone tells their AI agent to build a million dollar business then goes & plays a round of golf and comes back to a perfectly working app with customers. It's the dream. So maybe you've attempted it yourself.
You tried setting up OpenClaw or Hermes or now Grok, Muse and Dots only to find yourself swimming in terminals, API keys, config files, error messages written in sanskrit... Or worse yet, you managed to get your agent running but then sat staring at it not knowing what to do with it.
Either way, if you've entered this world you’ve likely spent days-worth of time on tutorials and rabbit holes. And when you get something working the ground is constantly shifting. Every week there’s someone shouting "this new harness changes everything!" It’s a treadmill of shiny objects and it's frankly exhausting to keep up with.

### There’s a better path

Picture Sunday evening after a retreat in the forest. Your agent is running, set up properly and accomplishing real work for you. You now know how to extend it and steer it to delegate meaningful work to it. And have the environment, tools and mindset internalized for how to apply agentic AI in your life in a practical way that saves you time and amplifies your capabilities.
We use building a side hustle as the substrate to learn and apply agentic AI. By the end of the weekend not only do you have tech understanding but also: an audience defined, a list of some of the pressing problems they complain about and are willing to pay to solve. You have a methodology for mining infinite mini sources of pain from your audience, crafting small meaningful solutions, building your list, delivering content and the inkling of a first small product you can sell to them. Best of all you have a bot that you can use to automate much of this.
That’s what this weekend is about.

### Three days to agentic AI mastery while making progress on your side hustle

I’ve had my hands deep in AI agents since February, and spent the year before that learning to use Claude Code well. I’ve spent hundreds of hours working with this stuff, trying things and sifting through rubble to find the gems. And I've spent a lifetime in entrepreneurship and tech startups. This weekend I give you the crystallized diamonds of all the valuable patterns and mindset I've learned.
First, Claude Code: what it is and how to use it. You'll get your own instance running and the proficiency to start building with it. Then we'll step back and learn a more high-level CEO-level of directing it that enables you to use voice and Loom videos to communicate with your agent, wire it into a second brain and use it for strategy, bizdev, operations and of course software engineering.
We'll cover conceptual understanding of the basic fundamentals of app dev, but just enough to make you effective as a non-technical founder without getting into the weeds of all the technical minutiae:

• GitHub basics, so you can build with peace of mind that you can test stuff before it goes live and never lose any work
• Test-driven development, so you can make changes without fear of breaking stuff for customers
• Design-first development, so you can verify your vision before taking on code debt
• Automated deployment, so you can focus on running the biz instead of worrying about infrastructure
• Prompting basics, so you have the mindset and basic vocabulary to self-learn and solve your own problems
• Plus a path for going deeper, and for extending your agent’s capabilities so it performs like an employee and takes more of the load off of you in goal-oriented tasks.

You go home with your own Behalf.bot agent up and running. It handles app development and much of the grunt work of building a business, and you can direct it by voice or with quick Loom videos for max fidelity of communication.
You get a first look at FounderOS, the newest tool in Vibecode Lisboa's arsenal. Its job is to take you from zero to a product you can sell, all the way to your first euro of revenue. It puts a few proven frameworks in order and paces you through them with an AI mentor. Each step has a deliverable, and you don’t move on until it’s done. It’s a step-by-step deterministic path to a product you know will sell.
Over the weekend you’ll use it to pick your audience, dig into their real pain with a research method called Sales Safari, start building your list and set up your content pipeline. Your agent helps handle the legwork.

### Work hard, then sauna

We’re at DOMA, a countryside club and hotel in a pine forest near Mafra, about 30 minutes from Lisbon. We’ll break up the sessions with hikes, the sauna and the ice bath.
It’s a good way to close out the year. You walk into 2027 with a solid foundation in tools most people are still only reading about, and more importantly, you know how to get useful work out of them.

### The details

• Friday 11 December, 10:00 to 19:00
• Saturday 12 December, 9:00 to 19:00
• Sunday 13 December, 9:00 to 17:00
• Six spots.
• Rooms are not included. Once you’re accepted, we send you options for nearby places to stay, including a 10% discount on rooms at DOMA. A DOMA room includes the cowork where we train, plus the sauna and ice bath. Staying elsewhere? You book a DOMA Full Access day pass (€30 a day) for each day.
• €100 off Premium every month for as long as you stay a member (details below).
• Applications close 3 December.

### Why a side project, and why now

Building something on the side is the best move you can make right now, for two reasons.
First, the skills. Learning to get real work out of an agent while building something real is the fastest way to learn this stuff. What you learn over the weekend is immediately applicable in your day job on Monday and you can begin amplifying your effectiveness at work while building the muscles that help you launch a side hustle.
Second, the side project itself. What you build that weekend is merely the artifact - the trophy that proves you learned the skills. But stick with FounderOS on your own schedule and that effort can blossom into a recurring revenue side hustle that buys you some freedom. Many people are anxious about being replaced by AI in their jobs but building something real now with these tools is the best hedge against obsolescence. And ironically the lifeboat you end up building makes it less likely you'll ever need it. You end up with skills, confidence and tool proficiency that make you more valuable in your current role while giving you optionality and negotiating leverage if cuts ever do face your organization.
These tools are a force multiplier once they click and there is no faster way to come to proficiency than three days of hands-on work with a small group all learning the same thing.
You’ll be getting taught by someone with 30 years in tech who has spent the last two years in the trenches with AI, keeping up with what changes and turning it into a path anyone can follow. See what people who’ve been through my programs say on the Vibecode Lisboa homepage.
Two reasons not to wait:

• Early bird pricing ends 31 October. Apply before then and you save €200.
• The Premium discount is for attendees only, and it's perpetual. You pay €99 a month instead of €199 for as long as you stay a member. That’s half price on the platform Founder OS runs on, every month, for as long as you’re building.

There are only six places, and I review every application.
By Sunday you’ll Agentic AI Mastery, some new friendships and completely new perspective on the space.
Apply on our site: https://vibecodelisboa.com/events/agentic-ai-mastery-weekend. I look forward to meeting you.
