In-company buildathon
One day where your teams build with AI on their own processes. In the afternoon there are live demos and everyone takes home what they built.
What a buildathon looks like →
Give your team a day to build what they've been putting off.
Your team works on the company's real problems, with expert AI mentors by their side, and ends the day with something functional and scalable.
// builders, not consultants
Teams from PedidosYa, Mercado Libre, Despegar and Calm have already built with us.

The team that builds with you.
You have more opportunities than hands to execute them. We join your team and build them together.
Three fronts. Start with the most urgent one.
Teams
Same team.
More capacity with agents.
We raise the AI level team by team, until they build on their own.
If your team is already stretched thin and growing means hiring.
Growth and operations
From idea to something running, in weeks
We define which processes change, which growth opportunities open up and what we build first.
If the opportunity is now and the roadmap is already full.
Company brain
What your company knows, one question away
You ask the AI you already use and it answers with context, telling you where it got it from.
If you've grown and now there are tools everywhere, manual processes and questions nobody can answer.
So growing doesn't depend only on how many people you can hire.

A build is something we make and leave working, published with what it does and how.

To do something serious with AI, your company has four paths.
- A training
Theory and other people's cases.
Leaves judgment, not lasting capability. - A consultancy
A diagnosis and a plan.
Expensive, slow, and leaves little in your people. - An in-house team
Hiring AI profiles.
Takes months to put together. - Mate & BuildA team that builds with you
We don't hand you an AI roadmap to execute: we execute it with you.
Lasting capability, without the fixed cost.
Pato IturraspeFounder · Mate & Build 🧉
Who's behind it.
Mate & Build is a team of senior builders, and in every company we train the people who keep building inside. That's what lets us run a buildathon with every area at once and stay afterwards.
Mate & Build was founded by Pato Iturraspe, who comes from marketing and growth at LATAM unicorns and builds with AI every week, in public. Pato has always been the one who understands the problem before the solution, and with AI that turns out to be exactly what's needed.
Every week Pato documents the builds on @patoiturraspe_ and on LinkedIn: AI experiments, mistakes and the systems that come out of them.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Teams build with AI on their own work, with someone by their side. What you need is a real problem that eats time every week.
Where should we start?
Almost always with a buildathon: in one day you see what your people can build and where the value is. If you want to go slower, Arranque is two sessions so the team starts using AI with judgment. We figure it out together on a 15-minute call.
What stays when you leave?
The team that learned to build, every flow written in five steps, and the access in your name. If it can't be explained in five steps, it doesn't get automated.
How long until something is working?
At a buildathon, the same day: every team closes the afternoon with its demo working. Working month to month, we first define the scope and the quick wins: within the first weeks something is already running.
What happens to my company's data?
We build on secure services like AWS, Supabase and Vercel, and the data stays protected with per-user access. Control always stays on your side: you keep using what we built after we're done.
Shall we build it at your company?
A 15-minute call to see where you stand and where to start.
