What to expect

The Pre-Black Friday Vibe Buildathon is a three-hour live online session hosted by Startup Grind Washington DC with AI MegaMinds. Attendees build an interactive product, such as a lead magnet, app or tool, using the no-code tool Lovable. The organizers describe it as a build session rather than a watch session, so plan to work along for the full three hours.

Who should attend

The page is aimed at founders, consultants, coaches, creators, marketers, small business owners and anyone with an idea who has not built with AI before. No coding experience is required. It fits a founder who wants a working prototype to show customers. If you already build with AI tools regularly, the beginner focus may be less useful to you.

Agenda and speakers

The named host is Mia Orantes, listed as Chapter Director of Startup Grind Washington DC and co-founder of AI MegaMinds. The session covers:

  • Turning your expertise, framework or process into an interactive product
  • Building it step by step in Lovable
  • Prompts and workflow for going from idea to working prototype
  • Leaving with a prototype you can show customers or sell

How to join online

The session runs Friday, November 6, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM EST. The meeting link is sent after registration. It is live only with no replay. Bring a laptop and one idea to turn into a product, plus any content you want to use, such as talking points, FAQs, a logo or brand colors. A Lovable account is optional; attendees without one get a sign-up link with free bonus credits at the start of the session.

How to register

Tickets are $25 on the Startup Grind event page. The page says signing up also includes one free month of AI MegaMinds, the host's AI community.
