Are you ready to ACCELERATE in 2026?
We’re not quite done with 2025 but we’re laying the runway for you to take off in the new year! 🚀 Today we’re opening applications for 2 new accelerator workshops in January and February, and dropping invites to the greatest winter party you never knew you needed. ☃️
So, you’re saying vibe coding is real?
Yes, it’s real. Does it need a new name? Probably.
And you can absolutely build websites, apps, dashboards, e-commerce shops, and pretty much anything you can think of using no code AI tools.
You: Really, I don’t need to know how to code to build this stuff?
Us: Really. In fact, these tools were made specifically for people who don’t know how to code.
You: And I can build it in a few hours?
Us: Yes. We do it all the time.
You: But what about when I finish the workshop and I get stuck somewhere?
Us: You’re in luck. For the first time ever, we’re giving you 2, 1:1 hours with our founders Karen and Stephan, AND a year subscription to the Launch by Lunch community. So you’ll get unstuck real quick.

Space is limited! Register now to snag your spot!

This accelerator is designed for you. It’s a simple, hands-on workshop focused on:
What workflow automation actually is

hHow to find and use automation templates
Creating your own automations for email, research, sales, operations, and more.

Last Time the Market Was This Expensive, Investors Waited 14 Years to Break Even
In 1999, the S&P 500 peaked. Then it took 14 years to gradually recover by 2013.
Today? Goldman Sachs sounds crazy forecasting 3% returns for 2024 to 2034.
But we’re currently seeing the highest price for the S&P 500 compared to earnings since the dot-com boom.
So, maybe that’s why they’re not alone; Vanguard projects about 5%.
In fact, now just about everything seems priced near all time highs. Equities, gold, crypto, etc.
But billionaires have long diversified a slice of their portfolios with one asset class that is poised to rebound.
It’s post war and contemporary art.
Sounds crazy, but over 70,000 investors have followed suit since 2019—with Masterworks.
You can invest in shares of artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
24 exits later, results speak for themselves: net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*
My subscribers can skip the waitlist.
*Investing involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Important Reg A disclosures: masterworks.com/cd.
Meet the Low Code Cookbook 🍳
Tired of the AI noise? Us too. That’s why we built the Low Code Cookbook. What’s worth your time to try? What gets you to “wow” fastest? Which tools are TRULY no code? And what’s our hot take on the the latest AI fads? It’s all in the book.
Here’s how we rate and rank the tools:
Try it on for size! We’d love your feedback on our beta tool.

Feature: AI tool of the Week
Ever wish Superhuman existed for your LinkedIn inbox?
Us too. That’s why this week we’re highlighting Kondo. And it’s not really an AI tool. But it’s best unlock for the biggest mess most of us face every day. Our LinkedIn messages.
Using basic keyboard shortcuts, you can respond, archive, snooz, insert snippets and actually get to zero. Fast. Here’s a quick video that sold me on using it. We’re huge fans.
As always, stay humble, and hope to see you around town soon!
Cheers,
Karen & Stephan
