Cursor Hackathon Berlin @taxfix
Cursor Hackathon Berlin @Taxfix is the September edition of the Cursor Berlin community hackathon series.
Taxfix joins as co-host for a focused evening of building, shipping, demoing, and connecting with Berlin’s founders, engineers, designers, product people, and AI builders.
Every hacker will receive Cursor credits to build real solutions with multiple agents, explore agent orchestration, and turn an idea into something working in one night.
This is not a passive meetup. You will form a team, take on a challenge announced at kickoff, build with Cursor and AI-native workflows, then demo what you made to the room and jury.
Come with a team or come alone. We will help create strong cross-disciplinary teams.
There will be Cursor credits, pizza, drinks, prizes, and a room built for making something real in one evening.
