Real users, and it holds
The second person logs in at the same time and nothing falls over, you stop testing by holding your breath.
Ship the app you
actually pitched.
You built it with AI. It works. Now it has to survive real users, real data, and a payment you cannot break.
The vibe coding got you here. It will not get you further.
VibeWall is a coaching program from TLM. A lead developer on what is blocking you, every month, until you ship.

CODINGAI-ASSISTED
DEV
One chat window and hope, into a set of agents with defined roles. And a human who knows what they produced.
The wall is not the end of the build. It is where the real one starts.
What you get on the other side of this.
You can charge money
Payments, auth and data handled by someone who has shipped them before, so the revenue path is not the part you are afraid to touch.
You stop being the bottleneck
A developer can read the codebase and start, you go sell instead of sitting in the editor all week.
Where founders get stuck
Six walls. You already know which one is yours.
Most founders who built with AI hit one of these. Which one you are on decides where you start in the program.
sample console output, not your app:
FATAL it worked yesterday
The Second User Wall
Worked perfectly until someone else logged in at the same time.
The Auth Wall
Login works. You have no idea whether it is safe.
The Deploy Wall
It runs on your machine. It will not run anywhere else.
The Prompt Wall
You have stopped knowing what to ask for next.
The Payment Wall
You are ready to charge and afraid to touch money code.
The Handoff Wall
A real developer looked at your code and went quiet.
Hit one of these? A lead developer can take it from here.
Talk to usThe cost of waiting
The wall does not move. The bill does.
Every month you keep prompting past it, the codebase gets harder to hand to anyone else and the quote to fix it goes up. Founders do not come to us early. They come when the rebuild is the only option left, and by then it is the expensive one.
Talk to us$15k-$50k
What an agency charges to rebuild an AI-built app once it has gone too far. Most founders never needed the rebuild.
The program
Three tiers, one program.
One path, not a menu. Most founders belong one step up from Groundwork: it is the first tier where a developer is actually on what is blocking you. The stand-up, the weekly check-in and the community are in all three.
ENTRY POINT
GROUNDWORK
$499/month
Where you start when you are not ready for dev hours yet. Structure, community, and a human read on your code every week.
- Weekly check-in on your repository written by a human: the next wall in front of you, what to fix first, what is fine to leave
- Daily written stand-up with a developer and other founders
- The fundamentals pack: put your code under version control, move off the toy database, separate your code into layers, deploy and test without breaking things, and run AI agents with defined roles instead of one chat window
- Monthly group office hours with a developer
The weekly check-in shows you what you cannot fix alone. That is when you move up.
Start hereTHE REAL STARTING POINT
BREAKTHROUGH
$999/month
Everything in Groundwork, plus a developer on what is blocking you and the specialists.
- Dev problem solving on the issue blocking you, minimum 5 lead developer hours a month on your project
- Access to monthly specialist group sessions across marketing automation, security, infrastructure, AI and data science: expert talks and analyses for all members, not a specialist assigned to your team
- Your weekly check-in reviewed with you live, not just sent
A lead developer and the specialists on your product every month, for a fraction of what one senior hire costs.
Talk to usMOMENTUM
$1,999/month
Everything in Breakthrough, with a named developer and same-day response.
- A named lead developer who knows your code, minimum 10 lead developer hours a month
- Same-day response within business hours, and your blockers get priority in the stand-up
- A dedicated service line during business hours: one place to reach the people who already know your code
- Quarterly business and technology review with a TLM senior: where the product goes next, what it will cost, what to build and what to leave
A named lead on your code, a standing seat with a TLM senior, and the service line.
Talk to us firstIn every tier: when a fix turns out to be a build, we say so and quote it fast, so building never stops. Response times and dev hours are during business hours and scheduled monthly. There is no after-hours line.
After you ship
SHIPPED
$49/month
You stopped coding and went to sell. Stay in the room. Open only after three months on any of the three tiers.
- Community access and the monthly specialist group sessions
- First call on a TLM team when you are ready for a permanent mandate
Inside the program
What you get every month.
Daily stand-up
In writing, so you post when it suits you. You say what you are working on and where you are stuck. The developer reads every post during the working day, answers, and picks up the problems that need a human. Ten minutes of your day, no camera.
Repo check-in
A TLM developer opens your repository, reviews what changed and sends you the diagnostic; a human writes it, tooling helps them, it does not replace them; repo access is a condition of membership.
Specialist sessions
Monthly group sessions, live, across marketing automation, security, infrastructure, AI and data science. Expert talks and analyses on what founders at your stage actually hit, open to every member, not a specialist assigned to your team. You bring your situation, not a lesson plan.
Dev problem solving
Bring the one thing that is stopping you, scheduled in advance so the time is really there.
Business and technology review
A senior member of the team sits down with you every quarter on the decisions that cost money: what to build next, what it will cost to run, what to stop paying for, when to hire; architecture problems are caught in the weekly read, so this hour goes to the business around the product.
You ship and go sell
The intensive months are three to four, then TLM stays on the other end of the line, and when the product outgrows what you can carry alone the same people who have read your code every week take the mandate.
What this replaces.
What it would cost to get this any other way, and you would still be coding alone.
Agency rescue or rebuild: $15,000 to $50,000
A senior developer on your payroll: not at this stage
Every month on the wall costs more than the fix.

Straight answers.
Business hours, Eastern Time. We do not run an after-hours rotation, and we would rather say so than promise one we cannot staff.
START WITH WHAT IS BLOCKING YOU RIGHT NOW.
We take on what we can staff properly, so one lead developer can actually know your code. Tell us where you are stuck and we will tell you which tier fits.
No obligation to pick a tier before we speak.
