Sponsors + supporters
The Tour is free to students. That requires sponsorship.
Cohort 1 sponsors
- Currently bootstrapped by the instructor — no sponsors yet.
- Want to be Cohort 1's first sponsor? See below.
How to sponsor
For organizations
We need:
- API credits (Anthropic, AWS, Google Cloud)
- Cloud compute (small VPS or droplet)
- Cash for student equipment grants (laptops for students who lack one)
- Office hours from senior engineers (1 hr/week)
Contact: ai+tour@vibecode.tours with subject "Sponsor inquiry".
For individuals
If you want to back the Tour at smaller scale:
- To back the Tour, email ai+tour@vibecode.tours — transparent funding channels (e.g. Open Collective) are being set up.
- Spread the word — share the next cohort announcement.
What sponsors get
- Logo on this page
- Mention in setup video credits (with consent)
- Demo day recording access
- First look at student demos for hiring (with student consent)
We do NOT sell sponsor access to student data. Ever.
