What You Walk Away With

Build something real. Ship it. Get paid.

By the time you finish this course and build alongside it, here's what exists — not in theory, but actually deployed at a real URL.

🌐

A live product at a real domain

Not a prototype. A production-grade SaaS application deployed on Vercel with a custom domain, SSL, and real infrastructure.

⚡

A proven tech stack, set up and working

Next.js 14, Supabase, Clerk auth, and Stripe subscriptions — all configured, connected, and explained. The same stack running across the Reaper Software portfolio.

💳

Real payments from real customers

A working Stripe checkout flow, webhook handler, customer portal, and subscription management. Configured to accept real money on day one.

🏢

A legal business entity

Your LLC, EIN, operating agreement, and business bank account — the unglamorous foundation that protects you and makes everything else official.

🚀

A launch that already happened

Not "launching when it's ready." A real launch — ProductHunt, Reddit, your network, cold outreach — with a first-30-days playbook for what comes after.

📋

Templates for everything

Validation checklists, MVP scoping worksheets, launch checklists, contractor agreements, a monthly metrics tracker — built and ready to use.

Who This Is For

For builders who are done waiting.

✓ This course is for you if…

You have an idea and want to actually ship it, not just plan it
You want to understand the full picture — not just the code, but the business, legal, and tax reality
You're willing to build alongside the material, not just read it
You want real examples from real products, not hypothetical case studies
You're comfortable using AI as a co-builder and want to learn how to use it well
You're building solo or with a very small team, on a limited budget

✗ This course is not for you if…

You're looking for a guaranteed formula that removes risk and effort
You want to learn about building without actually building anything
You need a large team or significant capital before you can start
You're looking for a course that skips the business fundamentals
You believe any single product will definitely succeed if you follow the right steps

Built by Reaper Software

This course is built from real experience shipping multiple products across SaaS, trading automation, sports intelligence, and a global intelligence platform. Every module reflects decisions made building things that exist at real URLs with real users and real revenue. The examples aren't hypothetical. You can open them right now.

Frequently asked

You don't need to be a professional developer, but you need to be comfortable using tools, following step-by-step instructions, and learning technical concepts. This course uses AI coding tools (Cursor + Claude) that dramatically lower the technical barrier — but you still need to engage with the code, understand what you're building, and make decisions about it. Complete beginners will find it challenging but possible. People with some technical exposure will get the most out of it.

The course draws on real products built by Reaper Software: AirQuote (a field service SaaS for contractors), KilledTheVig (a sports market intelligence terminal), ReaperBots (trading automation), and Reaper Intelligence (a global intelligence dashboard). All four exist at live URLs you can visit now. They're used as examples and reference points — not as prescriptions for what you have to build.

That depends on how fast you build. The course is designed to be worked through alongside an actual product you're building. If you're building seriously — a few hours a day — you can complete the core course in 6–8 weeks and have a launched product by the end. If you're fitting it around other commitments, 3–4 months is more realistic. The content itself is evergreen; there's no expiration or cohort deadline.

The core content is comprehensive written lessons — detailed, step-by-step guides with real code examples, decision frameworks, and templates. Video walkthroughs for key setup steps are in production and will be added to the course as they're completed. All video content will be included for existing members at no additional charge.

Full refund within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. If the course doesn't deliver what we've described, you shouldn't pay for it. Just email billing@reaper.software.

No, and anyone who makes that claim is selling you something. What this course provides is the process Reaper Software has used across multiple product launches — including what worked, what didn't, and what we'd do differently. Whether a specific product succeeds depends on the problem it solves, how well it's executed, how the market responds, and dozens of factors specific to your situation. What the course removes is the confusion about what to do and in what order.
