About Build With Pride
One evening. One challenge. Ten Build Pods building real AI prototypes.
Build With Pride is an inclusive AI build sprint bringing 2SLGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs, students, professionals, creators and allies together to build AI-powered solutions in a single evening. Build With Pride // Montréal is the current edition — the brand travels, so future editions land in other cities.
