About Build48

The rules of startups have changed. Build48 takes you from zero to a launched product in 48 intense hours. You’ll choose a problem worth solving, validate it with users, build a working product, and find out if it can become a business.

Why you can't miss this

  • Keep up in the new world of AI. Use AI tools like Lovable to build working software by describing it. You don't need a technical co-founder to start.
  • Saturday night features a Build48 After-Hours Event. The location and details are top secret, but you'll want to be on the list.
  • Lunch isn't just a sandwich; it's a breakout session with founders who have started and scaled real startups.

Is this you?

  • You’re already building things on evenings and weekends.
  • You solve problems at work that go unnoticed. You’re ready to build a solution that matters.
  • You’re deciding on your future. Use this weekend to test if the founder path is right for you.

No Hypotheticals. You are building something real, not just a pitch deck.
‍No Spectators. This is not a networking event. It is a place to do the work.
