Build, Launch & Pitch: The Lovable AI Startup Sprint
Join an intensive 4-hour innovation sprint where startups, students, corporates, developers, designers, marketers, and industry experts come together to turn early-stage ideas into real products using AI-powered tools.
Hosted at BIRD Incubator in Zagreb, this event is designed for founders in the ideation phase who want to rapidly validate their concept, build an MVP or landing page, and create a compelling pitch in just one afternoon.
How It Works
We will select 10 startup ideas, and each startup will be matched with a multidisciplinary team of up to 8 participants. Teams will include talented individuals from various backgrounds including business, tech, AI, design, marketing, product, and strategy.
The event begins with founders presenting their startup ideas to all participants. Once teams are formed, we’ll introduce how Lovable AI can help accelerate product creation, prototyping, and landing page development.
From there, the sprint begins.
Over the next 4 hours, each team will work together to:
Build a simple MVP or landing page
Create a pitch deck
Refine the startup concept and positioning
Prepare a final 3-minute pitch presentation
At the end of the sprint, all teams will submit their pitch decks for jury review during a short networking and break session.
The evening will continue with a short discussion featuring founders, investors, and VCs sharing insights on startup building, AI, and fundraising.
Finally, the 10 startups will pitch their projects live in front of the jury, who will evaluate the teams based on innovation, execution, creativity, and market potential.
