Super9s Buildathon - Waterloo - Honest Create x The Product Folks x Emergent
Build → Pitch → Break In: The Super 9 Program
Not everyone should just attend events.
Some should build companies.
We’re bringing together 50+ marketers, sales, and content operators for a high-intensity build experience — and taking the best 9 builders all the way to real customers.
Step1: Buildathon Waterloo Edition — Build With AI, IRL 🚀
🗓️ Date: 2nd May
🕓 Time: 11 am to 1 pm
📍 Location: Waterloo (Details shared upon approval)
Get in the room.
Pick a problem.
Ship something real.
You’ll have access to tools, credits, and a community of operators turning into builders - across martech, salestech, and contenttech.
🧠 Step 2: The Super 9 Selection (the following week)
We select 9 standout builders.
Not based on ideas — but on execution, clarity, and velocity.
🚀 Step 3: The Super 9 Program (1 Month program - Dates TBD)
An intensive, hands-on sprint designed to take you from prototype → real opportunity.
We work with you on:
Business modeling that actually makes sense
Sharpening your product narrative
Crafting a pitch that gets attention
Positioning for real buyers (not just demo day applause)
🤝 Step 4: Pitch for Real Outcomes
Top 9 founders will:
Pitch to enterprises & mid-market companies
Get in front of potential design partners & POCs
Open doors to paid pilots and real traction
More About The May 2 Buildathon
No entry fees. No slides. No corporate agenda. Just builders, laptops, and vibes.
Got an idea? Let's build it — together, in person.
Whether you're a product manager, designer, developer, or someone who's just curious about what AI can actually build — this is your playground.
Show up with an idea (or find one here). Open your laptop. Start building with Emergent and your favorite vibe coding tools. Walk out with something you actually shipped.
What to Expect :
🛠️ Vibe Building Session
The floor is yours. Use Emergent, Cursor, Bolt, Replit, or any tool you love — and start creating. Builders and mentors are right there if you get stuck. Free Emergent credits will be provided on the spot.
Showcase + Workshop (20 mins)
Kick things off with live demos from fellow builders — see what's possible when you go from idea to product in minutes. Get inspired, pick up tricks, and fuel your own build.
🤝 Team Building & Networking
Meet your people. Form teams at the event, jam on ideas, and build something together with folks you just met. Connect with product managers, founders, designers, and industry professionals in a casual, high-energy setting. Some of the best products start as "hey, what if we..."
