Build a real business in one day. Set a price. Validate it in the real world.
Everyone can vibe code now. AI makes building fast.
But here’s the real question: can you turn what you build into something people want to buy?
This isn't a hackathon where you build a demo and go home. You're building a business, thinking through pricing. And you're pitching it to people who won't sugarcoat the truth.
Your goal: get a ‘yes’ before you leave the building.
📍 LOCATION
Mollie HQ, Amsterdam

📅 DATE
27 February 2025 — One Friday, morning to night.
🎟️ SPOTS
60 founders only. Applications reviewed. We're looking for ambition, not just skills.
🚀 WHAT YOU'LL DO
BUILD — Create something real. With AI tools, you can ship in hours what used to take weeks. That's table stakes now.
PRICE — Put a number on it. No "it's free for now." Your product solves a problem — what's that worth?
VALIDATE — Pitch it live. Get a yes. Whether that’s a pre-order, sign-up, or clear buying intent, you’ll find out if you’re onto something.
💡 WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
🔧 A revenue-ready product — Not a prototype. built with Mollie tools in mind. Ready for the next step.
✅ Validation — No more "I think people would pay for this." You’ll know what resonates, what doesn’t, and why.
🤝 60 ambitious founders — People who ship. People who validate. Potential co-founders, first customers, future collaborators.
🚀 Momentum — Most ideas die in the planning phase. Yours is built, priced, pitched, all in one day.
❓ FAQ
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Coding skills are optional. With our partner Lovable, you can build without traditional coding experience. Hustle is required.
Can I come with a team?
Yes! You can apply solo or with a team (max 5 people). If you come solo, we'll help with team formation at the start.
What if my product doesn't resonate?
That’s still a win.
You’ll know why — and what to change. Most founders spend months guessing. You’ll get answers in a day.
What kind of products can I build?
Anything digital that solves a problem and could reasonably be sold online:
SaaS tools, templates, courses, AI tools, marketplaces, digital products, if someone would pay for it, you can build it.
Is it really free?
Yes. Food, drinks, workspace, and Mollie tooling support included. All we ask is that you show up ready to hustle.
