Do I need to know how to code?
Absolutely not. Destination Launch is specifically designed for non-technical founders using AI vibe coding tools — Lovable, Replit, and Claude. If you can describe what you want to build, we can help you build it. Bill Huff has over 30 years of software engineering experience and translates technical complexity into plain language throughout the entire program.
What kind of apps can I build in this program?
Web applications — SaaS tools, marketplaces, dashboards, business automation platforms, booking systems, membership platforms, and more. The SpecForge framework is optimized for web apps built with React frontends and Node.js backends. If you are unsure whether your idea is a fit, apply and we will tell you honestly during the ideation phase.
Will my app actually be launched by the end?
Yes — that is the entire point of the program. By Demo Day on Day 10 of the in-person phase your app will be live, publicly accessible, and onboarding real users. Not a mockup. Not a prototype. A deployed, working web application. The SpecForge specification and structured build process are specifically designed to make this achievable in the program timeline.
Do you take equity in my app?
No. You own 100% of everything you build. Destination Launch charges a flat program fee — no equity, no royalties, no strings attached. Your app, your IP, your business. This is how it should be.
What is the daily schedule during the in-person weeks?
Build sessions run from 8 AM to approximately 5 PM with breaks built in. Evenings are for destination experiences — pool time, beach walks, the golf and fishing excursions, and the beach bonfire are all scheduled in the evenings so they never compete with build time. You work hard during the day and recharge at night. The rhythm is intentional.
How does the virtual phase work?
The two virtual weeks are structured live sessions via Zoom — not pre-recorded content. You will meet your full cohort, go through ideation workshops, receive your private 1:1 coaching session, generate your SpecForge specification, and complete all environment setup before you arrive in Port Aransas. Session schedules are distributed upon enrollment and designed to accommodate working professionals.
What is the closest airport to Port Aransas?
Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP) is the closest major airport — approximately 45 minutes from Port Aransas. Ground transportation from CRP to the beach house and back is fully included in your program fee. San Antonio International (SAT) is also an option at approximately 2.5 hours — we can arrange shared transportation for founders flying into SAT.
Is there a payment plan available?
Yes. We offer a 2-payment option — 50% at enrollment to reserve your spot and 50% due 30 days before the program start date. Contact us after submitting your application to request the payment plan. Full payment reserves your spot immediately. Spots are reserved on a first-paid basis.
