About App Builders Academy

Members get weekly AMA and support calls with both mentors, playbooks for building, launching and growth, courses on launch, scaling and fundraising, and guest speakers.[1] The academy's site adds a Claude and OpenClaw masterclass, a bootcamp on setting up agentic AI systems, accountability partners, and free resources including the Vibe PRD and the OpenClaw Optimization Blueprint.[2] Its app-building workflow runs on Next.js, Supabase, Stripe and Vercel.[2]

Jamae built FFmpeg Micro as a solo builder and was previously Head of Engineering at Postman.[2] The listing presents Ellis as a co-founder of Rallyteam, later acquired by Workday, and as an angel investor and a mentor with Techstars and Alchemist.[1] The site also points to a SaaS Starter Kit and a Build My MVP offer.[2]

This is not revenue, earnings or income. It assumes every listed member pays the headline price, which is never the case in practice, and it does not account for free members, trials, discounts, churn, refunds, platform fees or tax.
