​We’ve done more than 5 hackathons already. - 

​Now we’re going to solve the problems we see at EVERY hackathon we’ve done. 

  • ​I don’t know what idea to do -

    • ​Maybe I could join a team.

      • ​I don't like the other ideas.

      • ​Loop : I don't know what idea to do. =______=

​For Todd’s workshop this time, we are going to address Y Combinator’s Request for Startups! Come up with ideas that’s going to change the way the world works. This is an exercise and no Garry Tan would be showing up today.

​So here’s what we’re going to do

​Y Combinator publishes a list of startup ideas they want to fund. We're going to use it. In this 3-hour workshop, you'll learn how to take a raw idea—straight off YC's Requests for Startups page—and turn it into a production-grade Product Requirements Document so precise that an AI coding agent can build it without asking a single follow-up question. The first hour is a live demo of the full loop: pick a YC idea, distill the problem, write the PRD in Claude, and watch it become a working app. The remaining two hours are yours—pair up, pick an idea, write your own PRD, and present it back. You'll leave with a repeatable method for going from "what if" to "it works" faster than you thought possible. All you need is a laptop and Claude.ai access.
