​There's more than one way into HackMeridian. Start where you are, find your people, find your idea, and find your way. Apply today at HackMeridian.com.

​HackMeridian has two paths:

• ​Genesis: for first-time founders, emerging builders, domain experts, and multidisciplinary teams working on a new idea or early prototype.

• ​Scale: for experienced founders, product teams, developers, and startups with an existing product or advanced prototype looking to take it further. Experience does not need to be on Stellar.

​Participants can access support from Stellar engineers, technical mentors, product experts, founders, workshops, office hours, team formation, and AI development support.
