AI Venture Buildathon by IE University x Lovable

Most startup ideas never make it past a conversation. This one has 3 hours to become real. The AI Venture Buildathon is a live, hands-on sprint where participants go from identifying a problem to pitching a working proof of concept, all in a single session. Every step is AI-powered, fast-paced, and designed to compress weeks of early-stage work into one morning. IE University brings the methodology, led by Quico Machín and Joe Haslam; Lovable powers the build. A jury of investors and industry leaders pick the winners. How it works: Step 1: Identify the problem / Step 2: Validate the idea / Step 3: Build your MVP with Lovable / Step 4: Pitch to the jury. 💻 What to bring: Your laptop, a problem worth solving, and 3 focused hours. 🧑‍💻 Who this is for: Founders, builders, and anyone with an idea they've been sitting on for too long. ⚠️ Team size: 1 to 6 participants 📄 Apply to participate. Your profile will be reviewed and you will be contacted with more details.
