​THE €5K BUILD & LAUNCH HACKATHON

​26 hours. From idea to market.

​Most hackathons end with a demo. This one ends with a launch.

​On November 21–22, we're bringing together Berlin's sharpest engineers, designers, founders, and growth minds for 26 hours of building, launching, and competing.

​The challenge? Turn an idea into a real product — and put it in front of real customers before the clock runs out.

​HOW IT WORKS

​You'll be matched with a multidisciplinary team combining technical, creative, and commercial expertise.

​Together, you'll identify an opportunity, develop a concept, build a working product, and bring it to market.

​Every team gets €150 in marketing budget to test its launch with real audiences.

​No predefined ideas. No theoretical business plans. The direction is yours, but the deadline is non-negotiable.

​€5,000 UP FOR GRABS

• ​🥇 1st Place — €3,000

• ​🥈 2nd Place — €1,500

• ​🥉 3rd Place — €500

​We're looking for more than impressive technology. The strongest teams will demonstrate smart execution, a compelling product, and evidence that there's a market for what they've built.

​WHO'S INVITED?

​Engineers, AI builders, product designers, performance marketers, growth operators, founders, and business strategists.

​Whether you're building products, designing experiences, or scaling businesses, there's a place for your expertise.

​You don't need a team or an idea to apply. We'll bring together complementary skill sets. You bring the ambition and ability to execute.
