About SheBuilds on Lovable

SheBuilds on Lovable is a recurring 48-hour online buildathon and community initiative for women and she/her-identifying builders. Each season invites participants from around the world to ship a brand new product end-to-end using Lovable, with structured time pressure, peer feedback, and visibility for the finished builds.

The program is run as official partnership work between Lovable and partners like Anthropic. Season 2 brought together 200+ women builders. On International Women's Day 2026, Lovable went free for 24 hours and granted every participant $100 in Claude API credits and $250 in Stripe fee credits — turning the day into a global build event rather than a marketing moment.

Beyond the buildathon weekends, SheBuilds also runs as a year-round community with profile stories, local meetups (including a Luma-hosted Seattle chapter), and a portal for past participants to keep building. For women evaluating where to ship their first AI-built product in public, SheBuilds is one of the more structured entry points in the Lovable ecosystem.

Why it is listed

An official Lovable program rather than a one-off subdomain demo. Worth listing because the community plus seasonal buildathons turn 'I want to try Lovable' into a concrete deadline and peer cohort.
