Become a founder who can build their own software
A 6-week hands-on bootcamp where non-technical people learn to build and launch revenue-ready SaaS products using AI-augmented coding. No prior experience required.
Limited to 7 seats per cohort
Designed for ambitious solopreneurs ready to ship.
Watch the 2-minute overview
You have the idea. You have the business sense. You're just waiting for a technical co-founder who never shows up.
If any of these sting a little, you are exactly who Knight's Class is built for.
You've validated your idea but can't build a prototype
Customers are interested, but you keep waiting for technical help that never arrives.
No-code tools hit a wall when you need real functionality
Integrations, auth, billing - those “one day” features become blockers.
Hiring devs costs €50k+ for an MVP you still need to iterate
You want control of your product, not invoices and handoffs.
What if you could build it yourself in 6 weeks?
Claude acts as your development partner. You learn to think and direct like a technical founder, so you can ship without waiting on anyone.
User authentication that feels professional
Subscription billing that actually works
Your core features built with guidance
A converting landing page ready for traffic
Real users testing and paying for your product
The 6-Week Journey
A clear, guided path that stacks skills week over week. Three phases, zero fluff.
Weeks 1-2: Foundation
Validate the idea, set expectations, wire up your dev environment, Stripe, and Firebase.
Weeks 3-4: Build
Ship core features, connect database, and iterate fast with Claude as your coding partner.
Weeks 5-6: Launch
Authentication, billing, marketing automation, analytics, and a security pass before go-live.
Live sessions kick off 21 April, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30-3:30 PM CEST—dates listed below.
Only 7 seats available

Hi, I'm Phil.
After 20+ years as a CTO and fractional CTO for fast-moving startups (Klarna, Kilo Health and more), I built Knight's Class so non-technical founders can finally ship without begging for a technical co-founder.
I have watched too many great ideas die while founders waited for a technical partner. With modern AI tools, you do not need to become a full-time engineer - you need to learn how to direct the build, read the code, and keep shipping safely.
Knight's Class gives you the exact workflows, prompts, and production-ready template I used to take Brainfork from idea to revenue in 3 months. Every session is practical, every assignment moves you closer to launch.
What I bring to your cohort
- CTO rigor: architecture, security, and “don’t-ship-this” guardrails baked into your build.
- Fractional CTO mindset: prioritisation and de-risking so you launch the smallest lovable product.
- In-the-trenches support: live build labs, async code reviews, and daily Slack unblockers to keep momentum.
- Proof, not theory: the same AI-led playbook I used to launch Brainfork in 3 months and what I use with founders today. See my work.
- Author of Punk Leadership - the lens I use to keep teams shipping simple, bold products.

Do I need any technical background?+
No. You need commitment and curiosity. We start from zero and pair every concept with a hands-on demo.

Next.js, Firebase (Firestore + Auth), Stripe, Tailwind, Claude Code, n8n, and the exact AI prompting workflows we use to ship fast.
