About Event

Full-Day Hackathon · Panels · Demo Day

20 Teams. 3 Panels. $80K+ on the line.

On May 2nd, Beta University brings together the next generation of AI builders, founders, and investors for a full-day experience — where ideas go from concept → product → pitch → capital.


🎯 Pitch to 20+ VCs. Learn what actually matters. Build something real.

This is where ideas turn into companies.

You’ll be in the room with 20+ active investors, pitching directly and hearing firsthand what they’re actually looking for — from product direction to signals of venture-scale potential.

Across curated panels, industry experts and operators will break down:

  • ⚡ How AI is actually being used across real industries

  • 📈 What use cases are working right now

  • 🔍 Where the biggest opportunities are emerging

Then you build. Then you pitch.
