Details

This event is brought to you by Wildfire Labs in partnership with Elevate Rapid City.

 You don't need a technical co-founder, a funded engineering team, or six months of runway to get an idea off the ground. With the right tools and the right approach, you can go from a rough concept to a working app in a weekend, but only if you know which tools to use and how to scope the build so it's actually usable. 

In this session, we'll get hands-on with the fastest paths from idea to MVP: the AI tools reshaping rapid prototyping, the no-code and low-code platforms that let you skip months of development, and the scoping discipline that keeps a weekend build from turning into a never-ending project.

Key Takeaways

  • Prototype at AI Speed: See how founders are using AI tools to go from sketch to working prototype in hours, not weeks.
  • Build Without Code: Learn which no-code and low-code platforms can actually support a real MVP, and how to pick the right one.
  • Scope to Ship: Learn how to define a minimum viable version of your idea, and ship something real by Monday.
