About Event
Build it in under a day. Then go talk to real customers.
Watch the 30-second event preview on YouTube.
This is the second year of this founder day in Rome,. Wednesday, November 4, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
You name a specific customer and a specific problem, and you bring whatever evidence you have. You pass a stage gate, and your build credits unlock. Then you build with AI teammates.
Build, pitch and create with AI Founders
Micaela from our workshop partner AI Founders will lead practical sessions and coach teams as you turn your idea into something you can share:
Build with Lovable: Create a functional prototype of your solution.
Pitch with Gamma and create with HeyGen: Develop your pitch deck, then create an AI avatar and a short product video for the showcase.
Through Micaela and AI Founders, every founder will receive free Lovable, Gamma and HeyGen credits for use during the workshops.
Partway through the day you stop building. You go find real customers, shut up, and listen. Then you come back and show us what you heard and what you changed, and you get honest feedback on it.
Prework is required. You set up before the day, so the day itself goes to building and coaching instead of installing software. The registration form asks who your customer is and what problem they have. Answer it honestly, since that answer is where your day starts.
We ran this format in San Diego on August 1 and 2, 2026, at the Social Impact Hack-AI-Thon. 53 people on 10 teams logged 302 verified milestones in two days. Rome fits it into one. Read the recap at aitrailblazers.org/hackathon-sd.
Tickets are 99 euros and include food for the day. We also hold 3 free tickets for students. Build credits are included. We approve every registration and have about 40 seats. Approved guests get the venue address.
