About Pirate Skills
Pirate Skills helps founders and marketers grow their business and build their own software with AI. We teach growth marketing – the pirate metrics behind every startup that grows – and vibe coding, the way non-technical people now ship real products.
Who we are
Pirate Skills is run by Ben Sufiani and Christina Röse from Cologne, Germany. Ben is a founder with 15 years of startup experience across 10 ventures. After helping thousands of entrepreneurs master growth marketing, he became a beginner again at the start of 2025 and learned vibe coding from scratch; within three months he launched his first SaaS with paying customers. Today he leads the Vibe Coding Cologne community and the Forge cohorts. Christina is co-founder and runs operations.
