Vampire Business Hackathon

​Schedule

​Friday 30 Oct, 18:00–21:00: build your AI agent at 1º Andar
Saturday 31 Oct, 11:00–13:00: results, winner and lunch at 1º Andar

​📍 How to find us: 1º Andar. (former Ahoy Café, next to the Tryp hotel), at Av. Humberto Delgado 47, Costa da Caparica.

​Build a business that runs while you sleep.

​Everyone has a side project they never get time for. At the Vampire Business Hackathon, you'll build a business that runs on its own. On Friday you pitch ideas and set up AI bots to run your business: finding customers, creating content, selling products. Then you switch it on and go home.

​On Saturday morning each team demos what its bot did overnight while everyone slept.

​Agenda

​Friday 30 Oct:

• ​arrivals from 17:30,

• ​kickoff at 18:00

• ​building until 21:00,

• ​snacks and drinks

​Saturday 31 Oct:

• ​demos from 11:00 to 13:00.

​🧛 Your bot's mission: land a real customer before sunrise.

​The best vampire businesses win a free spot in our November go-to-market bootcamp, Unicorn Goes to Market. You don't have to take it: the hackathon is just for fun, and the bootcamp spot is there if you want to keep building afterwards.

Your mentor for the night is Adrian, an AI engineer and last past Caparica Founders Breakfast speaker.

​It's open to founders, builders and anyone with an idea and no time, and no coding is needed.

What to bring
💻 Your laptop
🤖 A paid subscription to an AI agent. Please buy it before the hackathon, because the free versions are too limited to build a business in one evening.

​Pick one of these:

• ​Grok Bot

• ​ChatGPT Plus (it includes agent mode)

• ​Claude Pro

• ​Manus

• ​Lovable or Replit, if you mainly want to build an app

​Buy it and log in before Friday 30 Oct, so you can start building at 18:00. Not sure which to choose? Message us and we'll help.

​Tickets: Early Bird €5 (first 4), Standard €10 (next 4), Late Bird €15 (last 4). Your ticket includes snacks and drinks. It doesn't include a subscription to Grok Bot or any other AI agent, so please buy your own before the event. Most can be cancelled after a month.
