Javier Rivero - AI Community Lead

AI Community Builder & Operations Leader

Hi! I'm Javier and I'd love to lead and build Lovable's Community

First and foremost I'm someone who is very passionate about tech. I've worked at Uber for 6 years where I helped scale the community support operation across Latin America. After that I most recently joined Stripe where I lead the global support operations for Link (yes, the same checkout system Lovable currently uses).

In the past months I started creating my own apps using tools like Cursor, v0 and most recently: Lovable. I truly believe in the power of community to help drive adoption of these tools as I've seen it work first hand in both Uber & Stripe.

Reasons I got excited when I saw this role

A non-exaustive list of things I think are relevant

I built and lead México's largest AI community with over 500 members.

I know what it takes to go from zero to a thriving, engaged community through live vibe-coding sessions, workshops and live meetups that create real engagement at AI Builders MX.

I'm an official Cursor & v0 ambassador.

I've learned what to do and what not do when scaling a community of power users.

I spent 6 years scaling Uber's community support across Latin America, then led global support operations for Stripe's Link.

I understand how to build systems that work at scale while keeping the human connection intact, in my case Drivers and Consumers.

I vibe coded two products from scratch without a dev background.

Moodshelf and Sparkcircle are two projects that have now real users and were solely built with the power of good prompting.

I created a leadership academy for tech leaders to share learnings and insights.

I love teaching and connecting people who are leaders in tech through Leadership Stoa, where I know how a good learning program should look like.

I have deep experience with PMs and developers at companies like Uber and Stripe.

I truly understand why Lovable is key to improve time to MVP, as companies like Google and Stripe move away from PRDs to favor faster execution using AI tools.

(Some) Cool things we can do together

We should go beyond Discord to meet users where they already are.

I'd prioritize X and Reddit since that's where builders naturally hang out and share their wins, we're missing out on all organic convos happening there.

We need to host live building sessions with top voices in the space.

I saw how painful "Build Wars: Webflow vs Lovable.dev" was when it streamed on X, but there's real value in getting people talking about Lovable. Sessions like this one are extremely valuable (just look at the comments and engagement they drive.)

We should kick off an ambassador program, but do it right.

At this point it's a must-have, but I have good practices from building my own community and being an ambassador for Cursor and V0. I know what works and what doesn't when turning power users into champions.

We need to build a proper training repo and educational content.

OpenAI already has their academy and Cursor is building one. Right now the best starting point for people are mediocre YouTube videos that showcase only half of Lovable's capabilities, we can do waaay better.
