The Habitat bunny

The habitat for Habitat builders demoing people who build with AI.

We organize public AI events across Europe: startup nights, build sprints, demo days. And behind them, a private community where founders keep building together.

What we organize

Different rooms, one rule: you ship.

Every Habitat event ends with something working. Pick the room that fits where you are.

AI Startup Nightflagship

One evening · Free · Open to everyone

The format that made us. Walk in with an idea or nothing at all, find a team, build with the best AI tools, and demo something working to the room the same night.

Find the next one

Build Sprint

A day or a weekend · Small teams

For the ones who want more than one evening. A longer run at a single problem, with facilitators keeping the momentum and a hard demo deadline at the end.

Demo Day

One evening · Show your work

Builders from past nights and the community present what they shipped since. Honest feedback from a room where everyone is building something too.

Inside the flagship night

One evening. From blank page to live demo.

No talks, no networking drinks with name tags. Five steps, the same in every city, and a working demo at the end of each one.

  1. Step 1

    Walk in with anything.

    An idea, a vague itch, or nothing at all. We open by showing how fast you can build now, then put real problems on the table.

    Walk in with anything.
  2. Step 2

    Find your team.

    A guided formation round turns a room of strangers into small teams around the ideas they actually care about.

    Find your team.
  3. Step 3

    Sharpen the idea into a spec.

    Using the Habitat canvas, teams pin down who it is for, the real pain, and the smallest thing worth building tonight.

    Sharpen the idea into a spec.
  4. Step 4

    Build with AI.

    Teams research, design, and ship a prototype with the same AI tools professionals use. Facilitators keep momentum.

    Build with AI.
  5. Step 5

    Demo it for real.

    Every team presents a working prototype to the room. You leave with proof, photos, and people worth building with again.

    Demo it for real.
The Habitat bunny

Always one hop ahead.

From a blank page to a live demo in one night.

The private community

For the ones who keep building.

The events are open to everyone. The community is not. A small, invite-only circle of founders who came out of Habitat nights and decided one prototype was not enough.

A room that ships.

Founders and builders who met at Habitat nights and kept going. Everyone in the room is working on something real.

One hop ahead.

Direct access to people a step further: founders who raised, shipped, or failed at the thing you are attempting this month.

Momentum, on a schedule.

Demo nights, build sprints, and honest feedback sessions. You always know when you next have to show your work.

What builders say

“All my expectations were surpassed. I had already used Lovable before, but thanks to the framework I was able to fully focus on a demo that I actually pitched to an investor.”

“I had been looking for the perfect co-founder for over a year. Turns out he was just sitting next to me at a Habitat night.”

The team

Three founders. One playbook. Blank page to demo night.

We organize the events, run the community, and show up in the room when it matters.
