About the Workshop

What if you could turn your startup idea into a working web application, without writing code?

In this inaugural Founder Labs+ workshop, delivered in partnership with Day Zero, you'll learn the fundamentals of AI-assisted software development, often referred to as "vibe coding", using Lovable, an AI-powered platform that enables you to build full-stack web applications through natural language.

Over this 4-hour hands-on workshop, you'll move beyond theory and start building. Whether you're validating a startup idea, creating an internal tool, or simply curious about what's possible with AI, you'll gain practical experience building and deploying a working application with guidance from experienced instructors every step of the way.

By the end of the session, you'll leave with a functional application, practical AI development skills, and the confidence to continue building after the workshop.

No prior coding experience is required.
