Vibe A standing offer for people already building with AI
You bring the build. I bring the brand, the hosting, and the marketing boost.
Pick any name from my portfolio at 199.domains — brandable and keyword domains, all $199 or less. Send me a pitch for what you'd build on it. If I take it, the domain and hosting cost you nothing, your launch gets a push to my community of 320,000+ vibe coders, and we split revenue 50/50 — a split that keeps moving your way as the product earns.
Why this exists
I spend every day around vibe coders — I founded Vibe Coding is Life, the largest vibe coding community online, 320,000+ members strong. The pattern is always the same: people ship genuinely impressive builds in a weekend, then stall on everything around the build. A name people would trust. Hosting bills for a project that isn't earning yet. And nobody seeing it after launch.
Meanwhile, I own a portfolio of brandable domains, I've spent 25 years building and marketing on the web, and I run my own products on the same infrastructure you'd be getting. The names are sitting there. The playbook is sitting there. What I don't have is time to build everything myself.
Those two problems solve each other. That's the whole idea: you build, I supply the name and the rails, and we both only win if the product earns.
How it works
Pick a name
Browse 199.domains and find a domain that fits an app you actually want to build. The pitch matters more than the name — if you have a strong idea and want help matching it to a domain, say so in the form.
Send the pitch
One form. What you'd build, how it makes money, and proof you ship — a link to something you've made plus your X or LinkedIn so I can confirm you're real.
Get the green light
If I take the pitch, we agree terms in writing, I point the domain and set up hosting on Vercel and Supabase, and you start building. Your code stays yours.
Launch and split
You build and run the product. You set up and own the Stripe account, then hand me a read-only key — I can see the revenue, I can't touch the money. My share goes out on an automated payout schedule. No invoicing, no chasing.
The deal, plainly
What I put in
- The domain — you never buy it, it's deployed to the project
- Hosting and infrastructure, set up and paid for
- All initial AI costs — LLM API usage and image generation for the build — covered until your first paying customer
- Hands-on marketing help from me — I've sold over $1M in AI and web solutions, and marketing what I build is what I do every day
- Launch promotion to the 320,000+ members of Vibe Coding is Life, my newsletter, my blogs, and my 14,000+ LinkedIn followers
What you put in
- The build itself — use whatever AI tools you build with
- Keeping the product running and improving after launch
- Marketing your product — I amplify launches and help with strategy, but the day-to-day promotion is yours
- The Stripe account — you set it up and own it, and give me a read-only key so the numbers are transparent both ways. Stripe doesn't operate everywhere, so you need to be able to open an account where you live (check your country)
- Payment processing, refunds, customer support and your own taxes — you're running a business, not freelancing for me
Terms in one paragraph: revenue splits 50/50 to start, then steps in your favour — 60/40 once lifetime revenue passes $25,000, 70/30 past $100,000. My share is calculated on net revenue: gross minus Stripe fees, refunds and chargebacks, and nothing else. No equity changes hands, no contracts longer than they need to be. The domain stays mine, but you keep the right to use it for as long as the product runs and the split is honoured — and that holds even if I step away. Either side can walk away and you keep your code. Everything gets agreed in writing before you write a line of code.
Beyond the split
The split is the headline, but it's not the only reason to do this.
Your share grows as it earns
The split starts at 50/50 and only ever moves your way — 60/40 once lifetime revenue passes $25,000, 70/30 past $100,000. Milestones are on lifetime revenue, so a tier never drops back down. The better it does, the more of it is yours.
Marketing from day one
A launch push to Vibe Coding is Life's 320,000+ members, my newsletter, my blogs, and 14,000+ LinkedIn followers — plus my help on positioning and copy, not just a single post. Most side projects die from silence. Yours starts with an audience.
Infrastructure you don't babysit
DNS, hosting, deployment pipeline, database — set up and paid for. Initial LLM and image-generation costs are on me too, until your first paying customer. You build the product, not the plumbing.
A partner, not a course
Direct access to me on build and marketing decisions while you work. I've sold over $1M in AI and web solutions, and I only make money when you do — the incentives point the same direction.
Build of the Year
Every year the three highest-earning builds take a cash award — $1,000, $500, $250 — plus a dedicated marketing push across everything I run. A build needs at least $8,000 in revenue that year to place.
A real brand, not a hackathon name
Shipping on a brandable domain with a partner's name attached beats another project on a free subdomain. It changes how users — and future employers or acquirers — see the work. And the name stays yours to use for as long as the product runs.
The names
Brandable and keyword domains, every one of them $199 or less on the open marketplace. For this challenge, the one you pick costs you nothing.
Who's behind this
I'm Mark Fulton, founder of Reinventing.AI and of Vibe Coding is Life, the largest vibe coding community online — 320,000+ members and growing. I've spent 25 years in digital marketing and development, sold and delivered over $1M in web, app, and AI solution services, and built 80+ AI systems. Before all of that I was a domain reseller and blogger — which is how I ended up with a portfolio of names too good to leave parked.
This challenge is me putting that portfolio — and that marketing reach — behind the people best positioned to build on it. Take the deal and you get me in your corner on marketing, not just a domain and a server. And I'm not selling you anything here: if the product doesn't earn, neither of us does.
Questions I'd ask too
Who owns what?+
Your code is yours, full stop. The domain stays mine — but you keep the right to use it for as long as the product operates and the split is honoured, and that holds even if I step away. If either of us walks, you take your code with you.
Can I own the domain outright?+
Not through the challenge. The domain staying in my portfolio is what lets me hand it to you at no cost and carry the hosting. What you get instead is the right to use it for as long as the product runs, and a split that keeps moving your way. If outright ownership is what you're after, everything in the portfolio is listed at 199.domains for $199 or less and you're welcome to just buy it.
Does the split ever change?+
It moves in your favour, never mine. 50/50 to start, 60/40 once lifetime revenue passes $25,000, 70/30 past $100,000. Because the milestones are measured on lifetime revenue, a tier you've reached never drops back down.
What am I responsible for on the business side?+
Payment processing, refunds and chargebacks, customer support, and your own taxes — you're running the business, not freelancing for me. My share is calculated on net revenue: gross minus Stripe fees, refunds and chargebacks, and nothing else. Your other costs aren't deducted, and neither are mine.
Can I apply from anywhere in the world?+
Almost — there's one hard requirement. Because you own the Stripe account, you have to be able to open one where you live, and Stripe doesn't operate in every country. Check stripe.com/global before you write your pitch. If Stripe isn't available to you I can't take the pitch, however good it is, and I'd rather you knew that now than after you'd spent an evening on it. Everything else is open: I don't care where you are or what timezone you work in.
What if it never makes money?+
Then neither of us gets paid, and you owe me nothing — not for the domain, not for the hosting. You'll have shipped a real product on a real brand, which is more than most side projects manage.
Can I pitch my own idea, or does it have to match the domain?+
Pitch the idea you actually want to build. A strong pitch with a loose domain fit beats a weak pitch with a perfect name — and if nothing in the portfolio fits, tell me what you're building and I'll suggest names.
What stack do I have to use?+
Whatever you build with. Hosting runs on Vercel and Supabase because that's the infrastructure I operate — if your build deploys there, you're set. Anything unusual, mention it in the pitch and we'll figure it out.
How is revenue tracked and paid out?+
You set up and own the Stripe account, then give me a read-only restricted key. I can see the numbers, I can't touch the money or the settings. My share goes out on an automated payout schedule you configure before launch — no invoicing me, no trusting screenshots, no chasing either way.
How do the Build of the Year awards work?+
At the end of each year the three highest-earning builds take a cash award — $1,000 for 1st, $500 for 2nd, $250 for 3rd — plus a dedicated marketing push across everything I run. A build has to earn at least $8,000 in revenue during that year to be eligible, so the awards go to products that are genuinely working rather than ones that shipped and stalled.
Why do you ask for my X or LinkedIn and past work?+
Because I'm giving a domain and paid infrastructure to a stranger on the internet. A profile and one shipped thing — an app, a repo, a demo — is the minimum for me to confirm you're a real person who finishes things.
How many pitches get accepted?+
A handful at a time. I'd rather do a few of these properly — real launch support, real attention — than run a hundred half-supported experiments.
Send your pitch
Takes five minutes. I read every submission personally and reply to the ones that fit.
Before you start: you'll own the Stripe account for your product, so you need to be able to open one in your country. Stripe isn't available everywhere — check yours takes a second. If it isn't supported, I can't take the pitch, and I'd rather you knew that before writing one.
