Build It For Me

Go Full-Time On Your Dream

Historically, technical software developer founders have had a major edge—they build their own products and attract more attention from investors. In some areas, just 20% of founders are technical, leaving others behind. Our tools, systems, and community close that gap, enabling all founders to turn their vision into software with AI and expert support. Now, you’re the technical founder.

"It’s a horrible feeling when you’re building software and don’t know how to drive the ship or who is holding the keys to your code. CodeBuddy is specifically designed to put you in control of your software journey."

Devon Seacrest

Founder + CEO, CodeBuddy
