4 hours of focused building

No slides. No pitch decks. You arrive with an idea and leave with a product people can use.

18:00

Kick off & networking

Welcome, framework walkthrough, pizza. Meet the 40 builders in the room.

19:00

Ideation + validation

60-second pitches at your table. Honest feedback. Kill weak ideas early, double down on strong ones.

20:00

Build sprint

Prototype your solution using AI tools, no-code, or code. Build your landing page simultaneously.

21:30

Demos + wrap up

60-second lightning demos. Show your live product, not a slide deck. Then celebrate and connect.

This is not a hackathon

No teams. No judges. No weekend commitment. You come alone, you leave with a business.

Not a pitch night

Nobody watches. Everybody builds. You spend the evening creating, not presenting slides to a panel.

Not an accelerator

No equity, no program, no strings attached. Show up, build, leave with what you made. That's it.

Not a weekend project

You leave with a live landing page, a working prototype, and feedback from people who actually tried to break your idea.

What you leave with

Everything you need to decide if this idea is worth the next six months.

A working prototype

Built in 90 minutes using AI tools like Cursor, Claude, or Lovable. Not a mockup — something people can click through.

A live landing page

Published before you leave. Share it that night. Start collecting real interest immediately.

Honest feedback

Tables of 4 builders pressure-test every idea. You'll know what's strong, what's weak, and what to change before you invest more time.

Got questions?

What are Habitat Evenings?
Structured 4-hour evening sprints where you arrive with a startup idea and leave with a working prototype and live landing page. We run them bi-weekly across Brussels, Ghent, Leuven, and Antwerp.
Do I need to apply?
No. Evenings are free and open to everyone. You register on Luma and show up. No application, no selection.
Do I need a team?
No. You come with your own idea. You'll sit at a table of 4 where you'll get feedback and help, but you're building your own thing.
What should I bring?
Your laptop and a startup idea — even if it's rough. We provide the space, food, drinks, and tools. You also get a free month of Lovable Pro (100 credits, $25 value) to keep building after.
Do I need technical skills?
Not necessarily. Many participants use AI tools and no-code platforms to build their prototypes. About half our builders are non-technical professionals.
How fast do spots fill?
Most events sell out within 24–48 hours of being announced. Follow us on Luma to get notified.
