Build Night: Agentic commerce for real SME problems
Build Night, hosted by HitPay with support from Stripe and SpaceXSI, is a demo showcase for builders, operators and business owners who want to make something that fixes a real problem for Singapore's small businesses.
2 Dec, 6:00 to 9:00pm
Maybe you run a business and you're tired of chasing payments by hand. Maybe you work with SMEs and keep seeing the same broken workflow in every client. Maybe you've spotted a gap nobody has filled.
With AI coding tools, you no longer need an engineering team to ship something real. All you need is a problem worth solving and the resolve to build it.
How it works
Pick a real SMB problem. Payment collection, invoicing, order management, appointment booking, B2B reconciliation, operations, anything.
Build it. Your build has to use HitPay's MCP server and AI tooling: https://docs.hitpayapp.com/apis/guide/build-with-ai. Bonus points if you bring in Stripe through HitPay's Custom Payment Method connection: https://docs.hitpayapp.com/connections/stripe/overview
Submit a demo video, 3 minutes maximum. Show what you built and why it matters. Send it to ria@hit-pay.com with the subject: Build Night Demo: {Your Demo Name} by {Your Name}
The deadline is on Wednesday 25 November (23:59).
Get selected. Judges pick the top five submissions on technical depth, problem–solution fit and creativity. Every build has to use HitPay, and builds that use Stripe through HitPay's Stripe connection get bonus points.
Present on 2 December
