Ventures Connect X AI.Challenges
Connect, collaborate, and converse with founders over a cup of coffee.
In this edition of Ventures Connect join us for a hands-on venture building session where ideas turn into real products in a single afternoon.
The event begins with a practical workshop led by Liam Betsworth, Founder of Creu Labs, who will introduce Lovable and demonstrate how it can be used to rapidly build and test new venture ideas. You’ll learn how founders and builders can use modern tools to go from concept to working prototype much faster than traditional approaches.
After the workshop, we’ll reveal a live build challenge. Participants will then have the afternoon to develop a solution whether that’s a prototype, product concept, or early venture idea. You’re welcome to collaborate with others, work independently, and build either from the event space or continue virtually.
