Hackathon VX: AI for Business Problems
Hackathon VX: AI for business problems, powered by Grupo Visagio
November 7–8, 2026 · Rio de Janeiro · In-Person
Two days to build an AI solution for a real business problem.
You won't be starting from a blank page. We'll bring a set of challenges for teams to choose from, released shortly before the event.
You ship the product plus an analysis of the problem and the market: who has it, what it costs them, and why it can be solved now.
Prizes: R$ 25,000 prize pool!
1st place: R$ 12,000
2nd place: R$ 8,000
3rd place: R$ 5,000
Plus prizes and credits from our partners.
Who It's For
Mostly technical builders, but we also want product, design, and business people: teams need someone who can frame the problem and pitch it well.
How It Works
50 spots. Selection is based on portfolio, motivation, and fit.
You can apply solo or in a team.
Teams will have 3–5 people:
if you apply solo: we'll do the team matching; you’ll arrive on Day 1 with your team already set.
if you apply in a team: every team member must submit their own individual application
What We Expect You to Build
We’re not expecting a polished MVP or an insanely complex product in two days.
What matters most is how your team thinks, prioritizes, experiments, and innovates under extreme time constraints.
Build enough to show us the idea works. We care more about the quality of the thinking and the choices you make than the number of features you ship.
