​Small businesses are the backbone of the Bay Area economy, yet most don’t have access to engineers or technical teams to build the tools they need.

​Small Business Build Day is a focused, in-person buildathon designed for local founders, operators, and SMB owners who want to turn ideas into working tools in hours, not months.

​This is not a traditional hackathon.
It’s the first buildathon for SMB owners.

​In one afternoon, you’ll:

• ​Learn About Mocha

• ​Network with other business owners

• ​Build a real working app (CRM, Booking System, Loyalty Card, Internal tool, or automation)

• ​Learn how AI can support real operational growth

• ​Get hands-on support from Mocha

• ​Leave with something you can use for your business.

• ​Opportunity to win 10k in cash prizes!

​No coding experience required.

​Whether you're running a service business, retail shop, agency, restaurant, lash studio, or startup, this buildathon is built for practical outcomes and real adoption.

​We’ll close with demos, networking, and connections to the local business ecosystem.

​Note: Please bring a laptop.

​Spots are limited to keep it hands-on.

​Seats are limited. Apply to join the world’s first buildathon for SMB owners!
