Build with peers.
Learn from leaders.
Ship with AI.

An invite-only cohort of roughly 25 high caliber builders and developers who ship with vibe coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Netlify, Bolt, Lovable, Codex etc. The founding cohort is for passionate builders turning ideas into shipped products using AI, surrounded by a tight-knit community of peers. We focus on learning, sharing, and connecting around AI-native workflows and the Agent Experience.

The current cohort will run from Feb 2026 to April 2026. Join the waitlist for future cohorts. In the meantime, engage with our Netlify public events (like our livestreams) and social posts; we’re scouting for active builders and contributors in the AI space.

Yes! The founding cohort launches in Feb 2026, but we plan to run additional cohorts later in the year. Join waitlist to be notified.

AI-native developers, vibe coders, and builders who are actively shipping products using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Netlify, Bolt, Lovable, Codex etc. and other AI-powered development workflows. Whether you’re a solo founder, freelancer, or working at a company, if you’re passionate about building with AI, this is for you.

About 1–2 hours per week, and it’s completely optional. We host weekly workshops, demo days, and community sessions, but there’s no pressure to attend everything. Engage at the level that works for you.

The founding cohort launches in Feb 2026. We’ll be onboarding members and setting up the community in the days leading up to launch.

We’ll use a private community space for async discussions, plus scheduled live sessions for workshops, fireside chats, and demo days. Details will be shared with accepted members.

A typical week includes an optional workshop or fireside chat, community discussion threads, and a demo day where members can showcase what they’ve shipped. The schedule is designed to be flexible and async-friendly.

Our confirmed speakers include Eric Simons (CEO, Bolt), Addy Osmani (Director, Google Cloud AI), Mathias Biilmann (CEO, Netlify), and Dana Lawson (CTO, Netlify). We’ll be adding more speakers throughout the cohort.

We’re tool-agnostic but focused on the AI-native development ecosystem: Claude Code, Cursor, Netlify, Bolt, Lovable, Codex etc. and other vibe coding tools. The emphasis is on workflows and shipping, not any single tool.

Lifetime founding member status, credits from Netlify and partners, exclusive access to the Netlify team, amplification of your work through Netlify’s brand, first access to future meetups and events, and the opportunity to shape the direction of AI Shippers.

We’re intentionally keeping the cohort small so every member feels seen, supported, and connected. A tight-knit group of roughly 25 high caliber builders means real relationships, not just another large community where you get lost in the noise.

Yes. AI Shippers is driven by Netlify’s team but is platform agnostic and part of our commitment to supporting the AI developer and vibe coding community.

The founding cohort is primarily virtual, but we’re exploring in-person meetups and events for future cohorts. Founding members will get priority access to any in-person gatherings.

No worries. All workshops and sessions will be recorded and shared with the cohort. The community is designed to be async-friendly, so you can engage on your own schedule.
