Let's make friends in Riga!

ABOUT THE EVENT
​If you’ve ever thought “I could build this in a weekend if I just had the right people around me” — this is that weekend.

​Shipyard is a 24-hour AI hackathon in Riga where builders, designers, and product thinkers come together to turn ideas into real products — fast.

​🧠 What You Can Build

​AI agents & copilots for niche workflows or industries
​Micro-SaaS tools with clear monetization potential
​AI-powered e-commerce tools and recommendation engines
​Automation workflows, customer service bots, sales assistants
​Custom Chrome extensions enhanced with AI
​Mobile & web apps powered by LLMs or AI APIs
​Vertical-specific LLMs for health, education, finance, gaming, marketing, creator economy, etc.
 
​👥 Who This Hackathon Is For

​Existing teams working on early-stage ideas
​Solo builders with an idea looking for teammates
​Curious participants without an idea — join a team on the spot
​Places are limited — around 50 builders will be selected.
Participation is not first-come-first-served. We’ll review all applications to ensure the best possible mix of skills, diversity, and motivation.

 
​💎 What You Get

​Coffee & snacks all weekend
​Lovable credits
​Claude API credits

​🏆 What Happens After

​The top teams will be invited to an exclusive 3-month AI Builders Program at the upcoming Builder House in Riga’s city center — a space for the next wave of AI founders.

​You’ll join an international community of ambitious builders, get access to mentors, weekly founder-to-founder sessions, and special events with guests from the global AI ecosystem (yes, even folks from Anthropic and other leading labs will drop by).

​It’s where small weekend projects turn into real startups.
