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.
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.
Takes around 60 seconds. No email required to finish.
Who this is for and who it isn't
Clear fit means better outcomes. We keep cohorts small so every founder gets direct support.
This is for you

- ✓You can commit 10+ hours per week for 6 weeks
- ✓You want income that doesn't require trading time for money
This is not for you
- ✕You want someone to build it for you
- ✕You're looking for a get-rich-quick scheme
- ✕You give up when things get hard
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.
