Community
Rooms full of people building together.
Courses, dinners, and hackathons — mostly in Lisbon, always in person. New technology doesn't land in a feed; it lands around a table.
Collaborative Dinners
Cook together. Think together.
Themed dinners where strangers become friends over food and ideas. We fold dumplings while discussing AI. We share meals while exploring ethics.
How It Works
The format.
Cook together
Hands-on activity breaks the ice. Folding dumplings, prepping ingredients, sharing a kitchen.
Think together
Each dinner has a theme. Structured prompts and open conversation guide the discussion.
Eat together
Share the meal you made. By now, strangers are friends. The real conversations happen here.
Hackathons & Events
Big rooms, big energy.
AI Chats, NFC, Vibe-a-thon — workshops, topical events, and hackathons where strangers ship products in a weekend.
CoLab Courses
Hands-on AI learning.
200+ taught in person. Beginner to advanced Claude. 70% women. Small cohorts, real tables, face-to-face learning.
