We Build the Core Behind Real Startups

Serious Vibe Coder is a learning platform focused on one thing: teaching how real startup products are built β€” by implementing their core systems.

About the Founder

Built from real products, not theory.

Product Builder & Startup Operator

I've taken ideas from zero to real, revenue-generating products. I've built and shipped multiple B2B products β€” from early MVPs to platforms operating at multi-million USD annual revenue β€” working across business, product, and engineering.

🌏 Accelerator Experience

I've participated in startup accelerators in Japan and Vietnam, including Zeroth.ai, VSV Capital, and Antler, working closely with founders, mentors, and investors on validation, go-to-market, and execution.

🎯 Teaching Philosophy

My focus is not theory. It’s making the right decisions early β€” using AI to validate ideas, move fast, and avoid building the wrong thing. Through Sevico, I run small, hands-on learning groups to help builders go from idea β†’ MVP β†’ real product β†’ scalable systems, based on real-world experience, not hype.

What We Don't Do

  • βœ—We don't build toy apps.
  • βœ—We don't chase feature checklists.
  • βœ—We don't pretend MVPs need enterprise infrastructure.

Instead, we break down famous startup ideas and rebuild only the parts that actually make them work.

Why This Exists

Most tutorials teach syntax.
Some teach frameworks.
Very few teach how products actually work in the real world.

Startups succeed not because of perfect code, but because of:

  • β€’ The right data models
  • β€’ The right system boundaries
  • β€’ The right tradeoffs
  • β€’ Clear thinking under constraints

Serious Vibe Coder exists to teach that layer.

What We Build

Each project on Serious Vibe Coder is a starter system, not a full clone.

We focus on:

  • β€’ Core business logic
  • β€’ Essential data flows
  • β€’ System architecture
  • β€’ AI reasoning layers
  • β€’ Deliberate shortcuts and simplifications

If a feature doesn't explain why the product works, we skip it.

How We Teach

Every project follows the same structure:

The Idea

What problem this startup solves and why it matters.

The Core System

The minimum technical system that makes the idea viable.

The Implementation

Clean, readable code you can actually understand and modify.

The Tradeoffs

What we fake, what we simplify, and what breaks at scale.

The Next Step

How real companies evolve this MVP in production.

This is how founders and senior engineers think.
That's what we teach.

Our Approach to AI

We use AI as a reasoning and acceleration tool, not magic.

  • β€’ Architecture reasoning
  • β€’ Code generation & review
  • β€’ Real-world simulation
  • β€’ Product insight extraction

We don’t hide complexity.

We make it understandable.

Who This Is For

  • β†’ Startup founders
  • β†’ Indie hackers
  • β†’ Product engineers
  • β†’ AI builders
  • β†’ Builders shipping real products

Not for:

  • βœ— Syntax-only tutorials
  • βœ— Copy-paste clones

Long-Term Vision

A growing library of startup cores.

  • β€’ Social platforms
  • β€’ AI product systems
  • β€’ Marketplaces
  • β€’ Early startup decisions

Systems explained through code.
