1
Team up.
Break into small groups around a project — bring your own idea or join one that grabs you. Developers, designers, and product minds who can hold their own on a build team.
Tech Hackathons
Come build something that works.
One to two days — sometimes overnight — of designing and shipping a real application in small teams. Not a whiteboard exercise: you demo working software before you leave.
How it works
Team up. Build. Demo.
2
Build.
Design and build the application during the event. Ship-first mentality: working code beats polished slides. Mentors around if you get stuck, not hovering if you don't.
3
Demo.
Present what you built — live and running — to the room at the end. It's about building and creating, not just concepts.
The fuel
Free compute, on the house.
API credits are given away throughout the event — backed by the studio's on-site compute serving LLM, embedding, text, image, and video generation endpoints. Build AI features all weekend without burning your own tokens.

Who it's for
People who actually build.
Programmers and developers with real skills — and the designers and product thinkers who ship alongside them. Hackathons are also how the studio meets technical talent: future collaborators, portfolio-company hires, and co-founders come out of these rooms.
Concepts vs. code
Business Builder validates. Hackathons ship.
Business Builder is where ideas get validated — market research, pitch decks, team formation. Hackathons are where software gets built. Plenty of people do both, and some of the strongest founding teams pair a Business Builder concept with a hackathon build.
