Bring your own Startup 🚀- Amsterdam Hackday

​A one-day, founder-first hackathon for people serious about building real startups.

​​This is not a coding-for-fun hackathon.
This is about ideas, customers, and businesses.

​​Build something people want!

​​At the end of the day, you’ll pitch to Angel Investors & VCs, get their feedback and funding conversations.

​​📍 Amsterdam, Init Building
📅 24th of January

​​🕙 10:00 – 19:00
🌮 Lunch included + afterparty 🍻

​​

​​Who Is This For?

• ​​Early-stage startup founders

• ​​People with strong ideas looking for co-founders who can develop and test it

• ​​Builders, designers looking to find co-founders with strong ideas

• ​​Anyone serious about becoming an entrepreneur

​​⚠️ This event is selective.
You’ll be asked to tell us if you bring an idea and/or technical skills. To avoid a mismatch between technical and non-technical people, we’ll be selecting who can join.

​​

​​What We’re Optimizing For

• ​​Commercial thinking over flashy demos

• ​​Clear problems & real customers

• ​​There is no specific topic/industry you need to focus on.

​​🧑‍⚖️ Judging focuses more on the idea and business potential than the software itself. We want to see something sellable.
The topic is intentionally generic - you decide what to build.

​​

​​What You Get

• ​​Valuable feedback from investors

• ​​Potential funding conversations

• ​​New co-founders

• ​​A real push toward something people actually want

​​

​​Apply

​​Spots are limited.
Apply early and tell us why you should be here.

​​If you’re not ambitious, this probably isn’t for you.
