For builders

Smash code across the line on problems with a budget behind them.

Our hackathons go past software. Expect events on construction, energy, welding and public policy as well as code. Each one has a sponsor with a real problem and a budget behind it.

01

Win bounties

Sponsors attach cash to specific problems. Ship to spec and you get paid.

02

Get noticed

Sponsors and investors come to scout, and they judge you on what you built.

03

Land a contract

Many sponsors want a 3–6 month build-out more than a full-time hire.

04

Build with good kit

Our partners supply cloud and AI credits, APIs and mentors.
