How cohorts work

From application to your last session: applying, paying, joining sessions, replays and refunds.

Cohorts are live, dated builds with Lee. The Weekend Cohort gets your first app shipped in two short sessions. The 2-Week Build takes a real idea to a launched app that takes payments. Each cohort runs in person, online, or both.

1. Apply

Open the cohort's page and fill in the short application: your name, your experience, and what you want to build. One or two sentences about your idea is plenty.

2. Hear back

Lee reads every application and replies within two business days. If there is a seat for you, the email has a pay link that holds your seat for a few days. If the cohort is full, you can join the waitlist.

3. Pay and confirm

Pay through Stripe's secure checkout. A confirmation email arrives with a calendar file for every session. If you do not have an account yet, you create a free one with the same email you applied with.

4. Show up

Everything lives on your My cohorts page: session times, the meeting link for online seats, the venue for in-person seats, and replays after each session. You get a reminder before each one.

5. Keep going after

Every seat includes 90 days of membership after the build, so you have office hours and messages while you keep shipping.

Refunds and changes

Seats are refundable in full up to seven days before the cohort starts. After that they are not refundable, but Lee can move you to a later cohort if one is open. If Lee changes a session's time or place, you get an email right away.
