Night Hack III
Night Hack II by Founders, Inc
50 teams joined the first Night Hack. Winners shipped secure sandboxes, robot training pipelines, and sports tech. Took home $1k+ cash, credits, and a month at campus.
We're running it back.
Build hardware, software, or both.
AI, agents, tools, robots, infra - all fair game.
The theme is: ship something real in one night.
Live demos only. No slides. No localhost. Show it working.
What to expect:
5:00pm - 5:30pm: Check in
5:45pm: Kickoff on stage
6:00pm - 10:00pm: Time to build
10:00pm: Judge walkthrough (see projects live)
10:30pm: Live demos on stage (top teams)
11:00pm: Winners announced, closing words
Who This Is For
Engineers, founders, designers, operators. Solo or team. First project or fiftieth. If you've been sleeping on an idea - or losing sleep over one - this is the push you need.
