Anne Cocquyt is a startup operator, product builder, and UC Berkeley faculty member who has spent over a decade helping founders turn ideas into real, shipped products. She teaches product and entrepreneurship at UC Berkeley and has worked hands-on with hundreds of early-stage startups across the US and Europe.

Anne is a top 1% builder on Lovable, with multiple vibe-coded apps ranking in the top 1% on the platform. Her work sits at the intersection of product strategy, AI-powered building, and founder execution—combining speed, taste, and real-world constraints. She doesn’t teach theory in isolation; everything in this session comes from shipping, iterating, and stress-testing products with real users, clients, and investors.

She teaches vibe coding because she’s seen how traditional development workflows slow founders down—and how much leverage founders gain when they can build and test ideas themselves. Students learn directly from Anne’s real startup case studies, proven frameworks, and practical shortcuts, leaving with skills they can apply immediately to move faster, build smarter, and ship with confidence.
