Solopreneurs & Indie Hackers – Morning Coffee

Wed, Jul 15, 4:00 PM
From San Francisco Hackers and Changemakers

Join us for Solopreneurs & Indie Hackers, a meetup for the builders going it alone, by choice or by necessity. Whether you're bootstrapping a SaaS at 2am, an engineer teaching yourself marketing and sales, a product person vibe coding your own app, or freelancing your way toward something bigger, this meetup is your room: a space to swap tactics on growth, pricing, and tools, troubleshoot the stuff nobody else in your life understands, and find your fellow Jacks of all trades, masters of some. No co-founders required, just curiosity, a little stubbornness, and a willingness to talk shop with people who'd rather own something small than report to someone big.

Tavus lets you create agents that see, hear, and respond in real time. Paired with Lovable's rapid UI generation, your team ships a fully functional human-agent interface before the session ends. No engineering background required. Tavus offers white-labeled APIs and a low-code environment anyone can use. Bring a concept. Leave with a **working prototype**. **⚡ What you'll actually do** * Get a Tavus product intro, and a live hands-on API demo. * Build your own interactive AI agent in a focused sprint. Start from your own concept or use a Jumpstart Idea below. * Demo your work in a rapid-fire Show & Tell and compete for the winner's prize. **✨ What you get** * Free Tavus API credits for all builders. * Free Lovable credits and a live published URL for your completed project. * A chance to win the **team prize**. * Lunch included. * On-call experts to unblock you during the build sprint. 🎒 **What to bring** * Charged laptop * Headphones **Agenda** * 10:30 to 11:00 AM: **Arrival + Team Forming**.
