Leaderboard Challenge (Top 10 Win)
We were blown away by the creativity and momentum during SheBuilds NYC.
To support those of you actively building, we have an opportunity only available to you.
A leaderboard of the builders that give the most reviews is now live.
For the Top 10 builders on the leaderboard:
We will host a free 1-on-1 session with you, where we will personally help take your app to the next level.
During the session, expect:
• A deep dive review your app
• Product feedback and expert guidance
• Help refining the concept, design, and user experience
•A plan next steps for building and launching
If you are actively shipping and iterating, this is for you.
We’ll reach out to the winners by March 21st. Lets GO!
Thank You
When we started planning this, we hoped people would show up. What happened was something else entirely.
People traveled hours to be there. People showed up with their children so they could vibe code. Ideas were launched that morning and shipped by the afternoon.
That kind of energy is exactly what we want to keep building.
What Coming in the Next 14 days:
We’re not slowing down.
We are currently planning future hackathons, buildathons, and community events across the city.
Whether you’re here to:
• Ship a product
• Learn AI product development
• Meet other builders
• Or master vibe coding
We’re building the infrastructure and community to upskill and uplift you on your builder journey.
New York. Let’s Vibe. 🔥
