THE BUILDER GAMES

Form a team. Build an app. Win $600.

No coding experience needed. All skill levels welcome.

This event we're building tools that touch money.

Think financial dashboards, subscription trackers, expense tools, invoice automation, budgeting apps for small business, agents that find you better deals.

If it touches money, it counts.

You do not need to work in finance to have a great idea here.

Here's how it works:

When you sign up, you'll share a money-related pain point or app idea.

We collect these from every attendee and build an ideas board from them.

From 5:30pm, the ideas board is live on your phone. Browse it while you grab a drink. Pick the problem that excites you most.

At 6:15pm, teams form around ideas. Find the people who picked the same one as you. Groups of 4 max.

If none of the ideas on the board land for you, you can submit your own.

Teams of 4, every role matters.

Whether you're building the app, designing the experience, shaping the pitch, or bringing real-world context - there's a place for you.

Everyone contributes. No one just watches.

$10 gets you in the room.

Every attendee gets one free month of base44's Builder tier ($50 USD value).

Sounds like a great ROI.

[UPDATED] 🏆 Prize pool 1st: $600 $500 | 2nd: $400 $300 | 3rd: $200
