Hackathons

A weekend to build something that did not exist on Friday. Teams form in the room, ship by Sunday, and demo to people who can actually use it.

How it runs

Doors open Saturday morning at Base 2. You pitch an idea or join one, build through the weekend with credits and mentors on hand, and demo Sunday evening. Judges are operators and investors, not sponsors.

What comes out of it

Working prototypes, sometimes companies. Several teams in the room today met at a hackathon. The best builds get a slot at the next Demo Night and an intro to whoever should see them.

Who it is for

Engineers, designers and founders who want to spend a weekend shipping with the strongest builders in the city. Bring a laptop and a half-formed idea.
