Base44 — Prompt to Paid
Prompt to paid — for unruly, unreasonable founders.
The challenge
Go from a prompt to a live venture on Base44 and show real traction during the weekend — signups, payments, users, partnerships. Not a demo: a business that's already moving.
Did you launch something real on Base44 and pull real traction over the weekend? That's the whole question.
Co-presented with Tulip Ventures, this track has an unreasonable streak. Build a viral B2C company, start selling during MEGATHON, and commit — out loud — to where you'll take it. Reasonable founders need not apply.
How you win
Is this solving a real and meaningful problem?
How effectively did the team use Base44 to launch their product?
Real evidence of demand — signups, users, payments, customer interviews, partnerships, waitlist growth, engagement metrics.
A thoughtful launch, distribution, or acquisition strategy.
Can the team clearly say what they built, who it's for, why it matters, and why now?
How to stand out
- Solve a real, meaningful problem — and be able to say who it's for, why it matters, and why now.
- Bring evidence of demand: signups, users, payments, customer interviews, partnerships, waitlist growth, engagement.
- Have a thoughtful launch, distribution or acquisition plan — traction and GTM carry the most weight here.
- Be unreasonable: pick something with real viral B2C potential and actually start selling this weekend.
