Most founders spend $20,000 and six months hiring developers to build one app. In 3 to 5 days, with engineers beside you, you walk out with two or three working applications on your real data, a Mac Mini running 8 AI agents, and the system to keep building forever. The flights aside, everything is handled. You just build.
A dev shop charges $20,000 to $50,000 to build one CRM. You leave with two or three working apps. An AI bootcamp is $5,000 and you go home with a notebook. A fractional AI lead is six figures and six months. This is days and thousands, and the software is already live before your flight home.
Past teams have walked out with CRM systems, Applicant Tracking, Event Management, Survey Tools, and more. The kind of internal software companies pay $20,000 to $50,000 to have built, and you walk out with two or three of it.
Not slides, not a prototype. Real software running on your real data. Past teams have walked out with CRMs, applicant tracking, event tools, and survey systems worth $20,000 to $50,000 to build.
Your AI team, configured and on your desk before you fly out. Accounts, dashboards, API keys, sync, all of it ready to run the software you just built.
The operating system we build every client on, mapped to your business. Where leverage lives, named. You leave able to keep building, not waiting for us.
40 human tokens so our experts take your builds to production quality once you are home, and maybe build the next one with you.
Priced at what each piece costs on its own. Add it up, then look at what you pay. That gap is the whole point.
$7,000 for a 3-day retreat, first person. Each extra day is $1,000. Each additional person is $1,000 per day, everything included. Build a $50,000 software stack for the price most people pay to learn about AI, then keep building after you land.
A private retreat is for an operator ready to build the thing they have been saying they would build for two years, solo or with their team.
The total updates live as you adjust. Pay by card via Stripe and your dates lock in immediately.
Every retreat starts with a private CAIO roadmap session and ends with a live production deployment. The 3-day ships a focused build; 4 and 5 days add more build time and a dedicated launch day.
Everything the retreat needs to put working software in your hands is included. Things that scale with your business after, ads, ongoing API costs, domain renewals, are not.
Your team stays at the AIO-pad in Lumiere Riverside, in the leafy Thao Dien neighborhood of Saigon. Riverside views, a private car and driver, and the Travel Buddy app for everything else. 20 minutes to District 1.
Working is not the same as production. Every retreat includes 40 human tokens, about 40 hours of expert time, for the 30 days after you leave. Our team uses them to take your builds to production quality, fix the edge cases, and, if there is room, build the next thing with you.
Want to keep building after the first month? The Human Tokens subscription is $2,000 a month for 40 tokens, cancel anytime. Top-up packs (40, 80, 120) coming soon.
A private retreat means private people. Dave runs the CAIO roadmap session at the start. A dedicated engineer is paired with your team for the full duration. The same Saigon-based team handles your post-retreat polish.
“The private retreats are for the founder who has a real idea and just needs a few days, a Mac, and an engineerto make it real.”
