Chief of Staff Hackathon - Paris edition
On Jan. 31st, we’re launching the 2nd edition of the Chief of Staff Hackathon, co-hosted with Timeleft.
What is a Chief of Staff Hackathon? It's a non technical business challenge. Top operators solve real founder problems, in real time. You get the brief on the spot. You think, structure, decide, and execute with 2.5 hours to crack the case. No rules, just be bold.
At the end, winners gain exclusive access to job opportunities and direct interviews with CEOs.
Who’s behind it?
• Orbit is a Chief of Staff marketplace for venture backed CEOs.
• Timeleft creates meaningful, real-life connections by bringing strangers together for curated, screen-free experiences - from dinners and drinks to coffee meetups and group runs.
What to expect?
A live test of adaptability, clarity, and execution
Move fast, think sharper, act bold
No limits, just you, your mind, and founder-grade problems
Who can APPLY: Chiefs of Staff, operators, engineers, finance professionals, and grads ready to prove they can think at C-level altitude. Just apply here!
CEOs & Founders? If you are hiring a Chief of Staff or elite operators, this will be the strongest talent signal you’ll see all year. DM us or comment “Interested.” We are opening a small number of co-partner slots to meet finalists and fast-track interviews.
