About This Event
You have the idea. You just can't build it. Sound familiar? You've got a killer idea but no way to build it yourself. You've spent thousands on developers who didn't get it. You've tried no-code tools but hit a wall every time. You're stuck waiting for a co-founder who never appears. You feel like you're falling behind while AI moves forward.
The average MVP costs $5,000–$20,000 or a percentage of your company and takes months. In this workshop you'll learn how to code with AI and you'll do it in a day. Walk in with an idea. Walk out with a deployed app you can share with a link. Not a mockup. Not a slide deck. A functioning product.
This is a 1-day AI hackathon where non-technical founders go from idea to live, working prototype — in a single day, with zero prior coding experience.
We ran our first hackathon in December. The results blew us away. Every single participant walked out with a working prototype. No exceptions. 100% shipped a prototype. 5/5 average rating. 0 lines of code written. Now we're doing it again — bigger, sharper, and with even more support.
"We got done today what would have taken multiple months and cost me $20,000 or a percentage of my business. This is mind-blowing and an absolute must for any entrepreneurs." — December 2025 Hackathon Graduate
What your day looks like: 8 hours. 7 challenges. 1 live product. 9:00 AM — Getting Setup: accounts, tools, and workspace ready to go. 9:30 AM — Know Your User: define your target user and their #1 pain point. 10:30 AM — Solution Design: from pain points to the solution you'll build today. 11:15 AM — Map Your Product: features, user flow, and scope for your MVP. 12:00 PM — Lunch (provided). 12:45 PM — Spec Build: turn your concept into a build-ready spec using AI. 1:30 PM — Build Your MVP: 90 minutes of building your app with live support. 3:00 PM — Peer Testing: swap prototypes and get real feedback. 3:30 PM — Feedback Implementation: fix and improve based on what you learned. 4:00 PM — Pitch Prep: craft your 2-minute demo script. 4:30 PM — Showcase: volunteers demo what they built to the room. 5:00 PM — Close.
Everything you need to ship. For less than a single hour of developer time. Full-day hands-on hackathon. Not lectures. AI tool access — ChatGPT, Claude, and Lovable credits included. No subscriptions needed. Step-by-step guided challenges with prompts and frameworks you can reuse long after the event. Peer testing — swap prototypes and get real feedback from fellow founders. All templates, prompts, and frameworks are yours to keep. Lunch and refreshments provided.
Before the hackathon vs. after: Before — Idea stuck in your head. No prototype to show. Can't pitch to investors. Dependent on developers. Months away from anything real. After — Live app with a shareable URL. Investor-ready demo. Validated with real user feedback. Skills to keep building on your own. Shipped in 8 hours, not 8 months.
What the last participants said: "Absolutely fantastic opportunity. The information was delivered in clear, bite-sized pieces in a way that we were able to come out with a functioning product." "It pushed me out of my comfort zone to explore what was possible in the intersection of artificial intelligence and my potential." "AI isn't about learning theory. The ONLY way to improve is hands-on experience, like one gets in a Hackathon."
Frequently Asked Questions: Do I need any coding experience? None at all. This hackathon is specifically designed for non-technical founders. You'll use AI tools that handle the technical side — you bring the idea and the ambition. What if I don't have an idea yet? That's fine. The first few challenges are designed to help you discover and refine an idea. By lunchtime, you'll have a clear concept ready to build. What do I need to bring? Just a laptop and a charger. We provide all the AI tool credits, templates, prompts, lunch, and refreshments. Everything else is covered. Is it really just one day? Yes. You'll walk out with a live, deployed prototype with a shareable URL. It's not a concept or wireframe — it's a working app. What happens after the hackathon? You keep everything — the prototype, the templates, the prompts, and the skills. You'll have everything you need to keep iterating and building on your own. What's the refund policy? Build it or it's free. If you don't walk out with a working prototype, you get a full refund plus a free seat at the next hackathon. Zero risk.
