What It Is
Not another women-in-tech panel.
A room full of women building.
Hot Girl Vibe Coding turns AI adoption into a social, cultural, and creative experience. Each stop combines music, founder energy, creator culture, live demos, hands-on AI product building, and high-signal networking. Attendees don't just hear about the future of AI — they make something with it.

FAQ
Questions? Answers.
What is Hot Girl Vibe Coding?
HGVC is a national AI builder tour for women founders, creators, and operators. Each stop combines a high-energy keynote, a hands-on build sprint, sponsor-integrated tool demos, and high-signal networking — designed to move attendees from AI-curious to actively building in a single night.
When and where is the next stop?
Columbus is next. We're locking in date, venue, and anchor partners now. Sign up via "Bring HGVC to Your City" to get on the waitlist or nominate yours.
How does sponsorship work?
Three tiers: National Title Partner ($75K–$125K), City Presenting Partner ($10K–$25K per city), and Tool / Community Partner (in-kind or $2.5K–$7.5K). Each tier delivers a real activation — not just logo placement. Request the deck for the full menu.
Do attendees need coding experience?
No. That's the whole point. Vibe coding uses AI tools to build without traditional coding skills. We onboard the room from zero.
Who runs HGVC?
Hot Girl Vibe Coding is produced by Sarah Barrick (Venture Partner at Eleven Wall Ventures, Founder of Viralize Technology, organizer of the Ohio Startup Network). NYC was produced in partnership with Frontier House and Eleven Wall Ventures.
