Vibe Coding for Entrepreneurs: From the business problem to your own software - with Claude Code, no coding background required

The next two years will decide whether software becomes an unfair advantage for your business — or your competitors'.

What cost five employees, three months of lead time, and $15,000 just two years ago — a well-planned MVP that actually moves the needle — you can now build yourself. With Claude Code, a clear methodology, and the discipline you already bring as an entrepreneur.

This book isn't for aspiring programmers. It's for you — if you have a software idea that gives your business leverage, and you'd rather not burn weeks or six-figure development budgets to test it.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Across ten parts, you build real software — from the first idea to handing it off to a professional developer:

Parts I–III: What Vibe Coding really is, beyond the hype. Build-vs-buy decisions for entrepreneurs. The foundational knowledge that lets you talk to developers as an equal.

Part IV: The most important phase — validation. Test your idea with real people before you write a single line of code. With a whitepaper, pitch deck, validation interviews, and the non-negotiable question: Would you pay for this?

Parts V–VII: From a clickable frontend mockup to a working, cleanly styled MVP. You work with AI as an equal — the client, not the coder.

Parts VIII–IX: Hosting, deployment, and security. GDPR and EU hosting as an integral part, not an afterthought. Ten security audits you can run yourself — plus the red line where a professional has to step in.

Part X: What happens after launch. Distribution, pricing, product-market fit, day 90 — and when the next step is a real developer.
