};What's holding your team back
Three common bottlenecks, measured from industry data.
Building something no one buys
42% of startups die because there are no real users. You need to validate demand before writing a single line of code.
No pipeline, no moat
Prompting AI solo, feature by feature, doesn't build an asset — it builds a demo. With no shared pipeline behind it, competitors clone what you shipped in weeks, not months.
Same cycle, more holes
You're still validating on a multi-week cycle while AI ships code daily. Vulnerabilities pile up faster than a small team can review — until one incident ends it.
Five principles your team will apply
Applied continuously across 15 sprints — the difference between forgetting a lecture by Monday and knowing, for good, exactly how you ship with AI.
Spec first, code second
Write requirements as testable scenarios before touching code. AI follows the spec — it doesn't guess.
Merge every day
Slice work small, merge continuously — don't wait two weeks to integrate. That's when everything breaks.
Quality gates
The pipeline runs tests and security scans on every push. AI-generated defects don't reach production.
Docs beside code
Docs update with the code. AI always reads the latest, correct context.
From typing to orchestrating
Devs shift from writing every line to designing pipelines and orchestrating AI.
Not a course — the team ships real product
Every 90 minutes is one sprint — pressure, energy, and more fun than you'd expect. Experts stand beside you and unblock in the room.

Real photos from BTS Taipei — not staged. Whiteboards full of marker, teams laughing between sprints, and the rush of watching your own product go live in 90 minutes.
Numbers and outcomes
Industry data and the delta vs. the old two-week sprint way.
| Metric | 2-week sprint | 90-minute sprint | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Merge wait time | 10 days | 1 day | −90% |
| Requirement drift | 20% | 5% | −75% |
| Wasted tokens / week | $500 | $1 | −99.8% |
| Actual shipping speed | 3.20× | 4.75× | +48% |
Skip the 3 months of burn most startups spend building the wrong thing. You leave owning the full operating model — how to validate demand, ship fast, and turn that into a product people actually pay for, sprint after sprint.
