Austin x SheBuilds on Lovable for International Women's Day
Most Sundays, ideas stay ideas. Let's change that. International Women's Day this year is a building day — we're hosting a local Austin event as part of Lovable's SheBuilds with support from Anthropic and Stripe. Show up with an idea, any idea, and by noon you'll have a real, working app to show for it. Never coded in your life? Perfect. That's kind of the whole point
Location: We've secured a private room at a local brewery in NE Austin. Wifi, table/chairs are provided; food & drinks will be available for purchase through them.
Plus, we've got a surprise or two up our sleeves. You'll just have to show up to find out. 👀
Who should come
Got an idea you've been sitting on? Come. Always thought "I could never build that"? Especially come. This is open to everyone who's curious, supportive, or just wants to spend International Women's Day doing something that actually feels empowering.
What to bring
Your laptop, your ideas (half-baked ones are our favorite), and yourself. That's genuinely all you need.
Why we're doing this
Because the tools (like Lovable) exist right now to let anyone build anything. And on International Women's Day, we're making sure women know it's for them too.
