Live cohort
I want to build one real tool myself
Join the next From Chatbot to Builder cohort. Four live weeks, one shipped tool, a Skills library you own.
Join the next cohort waitlist →From Chatbot to Builder · Next cohort waitlist open
From 'someday' to shipped.
In four weeks.
For PMs, operators, consultants, and indie builders stuck in "I need a developer" mode. Four weeks live. Come out with a shipped tool, the Skills to keep building, and the habit that sticks.
Built from live work, not theory: 5 hackathon wins · 25+ shipped AI products · $1.6M ARR sales background · 125+ accounts managed · public case studies you can inspect
Operator-grade agentic engineering. You own the scope, the diff, the verification, and the final judgment. The agent accelerates implementation; the workflow keeps you honest.

Best fit: you've touched Claude. Maybe you've built something small in Lovable, Bolt, or basic Claude Code. You've got an idea you'd build if you weren't stuck in "I need a developer" mode. You can commit 2 to 3 hours of live time per week.

May 12 cohort underway · waitlist open for the next cohort
From Chatbot to Builder
Four weeks of live, hands-on sessions. You bring a real problem you've been promising to fix. You leave with a tool that's live, your own Skills you'll reuse, and the habit to keep building without me.
- One 90-min working session (Tue 6pm ET) + one 60-min office hour (Thu 6pm ET), all recorded
- Private Discord, weekly ship checkpoint, async "I'm stuck" support
- Spec-first workflow with CLAUDE.md, plan mode, and the one-change rule
- Graduation: your first shipped tool that gets used, a Skills library you'll actually reuse, and a next-project brief
The May 12 cohort is underway. Join the waitlist above for first dibs on the next cohort.
From a 1:1 session"Vincent pushed me to prioritize building over overthinking and simplified the daunting world of AI coding agents. If you need someone to help you cut through the noise and actually ship your ideas, Vincent is the person to talk to."
Free
The teamvince agent harness, free.
An AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md starter, a Skills scaffold (yours to fill, with a guide), the scope filter, five slash commands. Drop it into any project. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Optional 60-second Vince Loom on whether your idea is scoped right.

Tools I've shipped
1st Place · AG2
RefereeOS
Multi-agent peer review triage with a Daytona sandbox in the loop. Six agents share one evidence board; one of them re-runs the paper's own code to check the headline number. First place in the scientific track and best overall at the AG2 hackathon.
Proves: I can design AI review systems where humans can inspect the evidence, not just trust the output.

2nd Place · Betaworks
Commons Copilot
A hackathon-room coordination layer with five independent agents sharing one Intent Space. No queue, no planner. Built in two hours at the Betaworks multi-agent hackathon.
Proves: I can turn abstract agent architecture into a working coordination layer fast.

Hackathon Winner
HeartBridge
A voice-driven cardiac rehab companion that won the Pulse Foundry AI NYC Healthcare hackathon. Designed 80% of the product, led the build, and presented the winning demo.
Proves: I can build voice-driven workflows for non-technical users.

What people say
From people I've worked with
1:1 session"Vincent pushed me to prioritize building over overthinking and simplified the daunting world of AI coding agents. If you need someone to help you cut through the noise and actually ship your ideas, Vincent is the person to talk to."
Consulting client"Vince has a rare ability to translate technical ideas into business decisions: how to reduce human bottlenecks, where oversight matters most, and how to think about AI adoption in a way that's structured and responsible."
Peer"Our team's AI authority. He has a rare ability to translate complex technology into practical workflow improvements that actually move the needle."
Background · seller who builds, builder who sells.
The short version
My path to tech started in NYC restaurants. Eleven Madison Park under Will Guidara, Maialino under Danny Meyer. That world taught me that great service is a system, not a personality trait. That instinct carried into enterprise sales at Cision, where I was promoted three times and managed a $1.6M ARR portfolio across 125+ mid-market accounts.
I got obsessed with AI while still in sales. Built a 50+ entry Skills library for the team, ran AI workflow sessions at the company summit, and won a company-wide hackathon with a PE deal intelligence prototype in 48 hours.
Now I run teamvince: a course, 1:1 coaching, and the occasional consulting project for teams that need something shipped.
teamvince is for operators who want to become builders — and teams that need AI work to leave the slide deck and enter the workflow.
