What is the Pioneer Program?
The Pioneer Program is a small, hand-picked cohort of vibe coders and AI-native builders helping us shape Hoskes Cloud for Brazil and beyond.
You are not signing up for a generic discount. You are joining early users who publish real projects, share honest feedback, and show others that “publish to the web” does not require becoming a sysadmin.
We designed Hoskes Cloud for the moment after your AI writes the app: connect MCP once, and your agent validates Docker, deploys, and returns a live HTTPS URL.
How it works
Manual review
We score every application. Priority goes to builders with 2+ projects, at least one still without a live URL, and a clear “publish to the web” goal.
Optional onboarding call
If you have questions, you can book an optional 20-minute call to connect MCP and publish your first project live on *.cloud.hoskes.com. Prefer self-serve? Docs and Discord are enough.
Build in public
Publish at least one project in week one. Share feedback once a month. Optional: let us showcase your URL (with your permission).
What you get
6 months Starter free
Full Starter plan: up to 10 live projects, presets, managed databases. Normally $19/month ($114 total value).
Optional onboarding call
Optional 20-minute session with our team to publish your first app via MCP or GitHub.
Pioneer channel access
Direct line to the team on Discord while we iterate on the product for vibe coders.
Community spotlight
With your opt-in, we feature your live URL in our content and weekly Deploy Friday showcase.
Early feature access
Try MCP and deploy improvements before public launch. Your feedback shapes the roadmap.
Pioneer badge
Recognition as a founding builder in our community spaces and changelog credits.
Possible access to the investment and leverage package
Featured projects on Hoskes Cloud that our team identifies as high-potential may receive an invite to an investment and leverage package. Discretionary offer, only when it makes sense.
Optional · Hoskes Cloud decision
Investment and leverage package
Beyond the Pioneer Program, we watch standout projects on the platform. When we see real potential, we may invite the builder to go further than deploy.
- Projects with real usage, early traction, or a clear product vision may enter our radar.
- The package may include visibility, mentorship, connections, and support to scale the software.
- Hoskes Cloud decides alone whether there is a fit and when to make an offer. There is no automatic queue.
Applying to the Pioneer Program or checking interest in the form does not guarantee an invite. The package is only offered when Hoskes Cloud identifies potential and chooses to move forward.
Who should apply
This cohort is intentionally narrow. You are a strong fit if most of these describe you:
- You have built 2 or more apps or sites with AI (not necessarily as a professional developer).
- You use Cursor, Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI, or similar agents in your workflow.
- At least one project has never been published to the web. It lives on localhost, in a preview, or only on your machine.
- You want a shareable HTTPS link for a portfolio, client demo, side project, or validation, not just “it runs locally”.
- You already publish on Vercel, Railway, or Render but want your agent to deploy via MCP without opening another dashboard.
- You are willing to give honest feedback once a month and try publishing within the first week.
Probably not the right fit
- You mainly deploy on AWS, Azure, or OCI and are looking for enterprise infra tooling.
- You only want free hosting with no intention to publish or give feedback.
- You have a single throwaway experiment and no plan to put anything online.
Pioneer requirements
- 1Publish at least one project to a live Hoskes URL within your first 7 days.
- 2Complete a short feedback form once per month (about 5 minutes).
- 3Respond to a check-in on day 7 and day 30: what worked, what blocked you.
- 4Optional: allow us to repost your URL or screenshot with credit (you choose in the form).
We do not require public posts, influencer-style promotion, or a mandatory onboarding call. We care about real usage and honest product feedback.

Do I need to know how to code or DevOps?+
No. Many pioneers are vibe coders who build with AI agents. If you can describe what you want in Cursor or Claude, your agent can handle Dockerfile validation and deploy via Hoskes MCP.
Is the onboarding call mandatory?+
No. The 20-minute call is optional. You can onboard yourself with our docs and community channels if you prefer.
Is this really free?+
Selected pioneers get 6 months of Starter ($19/mo) at no charge. After that, you can downgrade to Free (1 project) or subscribe to Starter.
What if I am not selected?+
You can still use the Free plan (1 live project) and join our Discord or follow @hoskes.cloud on X. We may open future cohorts.
Why only 20 spots?+
We want to respond personally, fix blockers fast, and incorporate feedback. That does not scale to hundreds on day one.
What is the investment and leverage package?+
Hoskes Cloud watches projects published on the platform with real usage and growth potential. When we identify a strong case, we may invite the builder to an investment and leverage package to help scale the software. The decision is always Hoskes Cloud's. Applying to the Pioneer Program does not guarantee the package.
