🏆 Builders Cup 2026 - A Hackathon by Ramp

​Presented by Ramp and sponsored by Cursor, Codex, and Chelsea Commons.

​The ball is in your court. Build something that matters.

​Ramp is hosting Builders Cup - a one-day hackathon in New York City where the best builders compete for prizes, glory, and a shot at impressing some of the fastest-growing tech companies in the world. Whether you come with a team or work solo, this is your chance to ship something real, show what you've got, and go home with bragging rights (and maybe some cool prizes).

​Join us for a full day of hacking, mentorship, demos, and - yes - very good food.

• ​Audience Favorite — the crowd decides. Most votes wins.
