At just 23, Annie Liao has already built one of the world’s fastest-growing AI communities — reshaping how we learn, build, and adapt in the AI era.
What started as a weekend side project became Build Club: $1.8M raised, 10,000 members worldwide, and over 11,000 projects shipped across 40+ cities. When Lovable — the $2.75B AI unicorn and fastest-growing startup in history — needed a learning academy, they turned to Annie. Together, they launched the Lovable Learning Academy in just six weeks.
Before that? Annie was a data scientist, a consultant at BCG across Asia, a venture capitalist investing in AI, and chief of staff at a fast-growing startup — all groundwork for her boldest move yet.
This conversation dives into what it really takes to build at speed: turning learners into builders, why hands-on beats passive, and how bounties are helping people get paid while they learn.
If you’ve ever felt behind in AI, wondered how to pivot careers, or wanted to see what it looks like to dream on a global scale — this is the episode for you.
