SheBuilds on Lovable Season 04: How Women Can Apply for the Free 72-Hour AI Build Event
If you’ve been sitting on an AI product idea but never actually shipped it, SheBuilds on Lovable Season 04 is built for you.
SheBuilds is a free, fully virtual 72-hour build event where women turn ideas into working products using Lovable, alongside mentors and a few hundred builders doing the same thing. Season 04 runs October 15–17, 2026.
You do not need to be a traditional coder to take part. Bring an idea, sketches, research, or a plan — the building starts when the event kicks off.
💡 What Is SheBuilds on Lovable?
SheBuilds on Lovable is a global community of women building with AI through seasonal build events, webinars, and community spaces.
Each season is a focused build sprint where participants use Lovable (an AI-first, no-code/low-code product builder) to ship a real working product — not a slide deck.
