The Build Weekend Blueprint

Three days designed to transform your idea into a working prototype, surrounded by thoughtful women who believe in what you're building.

San Francisco Bay Area • Date TBD • Limited to 20-25 participants

In-person weekend • Participation fee required • Grants available

Our Approach

🌱

Learn by Doing

No lengthy tutorials. We introduce tools as you need them for your specific project.

🤝

In-Person Connection

The energy and spontaneous collaboration that happens when we build together in the same space.

Intuition + Technology

Your perspective and problem-solving instincts are the foundation. AI tools amplify your thinking.

This isn't about becoming a developer in three days. It's about discovering that you already have everything you need to build solutions that matter—and doing it alongside women who believe in your vision.
