Come build something ambitious with us at this vibe-coding hackathon hosted with our friends at Tavern.
This is an in-person sprint for founders, engineers, & builders who love shipping fast & turning ideas into real products.
Whether you're hacking on a startup idea, experimenting with a new tool, or just want an excuse to build something cool with smart people around you - this hackathon is for you.
We'll have a relaxed but high-energy environment where the focus is simple: build, ship, & learn.
Problem Statement
Build something that improves social connection & community.
Make it easier for people to meet, form friendships, find communities, stay consistent, & actually feel like they belong in a city like New York.
The Challenge Theme
Your project should clearly fit this theme:
Social connection
Community-building
Friendship & belonging
IRL meetups
Consistency & accountability
Helping people go from we should hang to actually hanging
Whether you're hacking on a startup idea, experimenting with a new tool, or just want an excuse to build something cool with smart people around you, this hackathon is for you.
