VillageHacks'26 | April 11-12, 2026 | Startup Village @ ASU

​24 hours. Real problems. Real founders watching.

​VillageHacks returns to ASU with 600+ builders, 3 tracks, and one rule: ship something that works.

​

​Tracks

​• Core CS (AI/ML, Full-Stack, Systems)

​• Marketing (Social Media Growth & Virality)

​• Build and pitch a startup in 24 hours

​

​What makes this different

​This isn’t a “build a demo and collect a t-shirt” hackathon. Teams solve real startup-backed problems and present directly to founders, operators, and investors. The best builders walk away with interviews, mentorship, and funding conversations.

​

​What’s on the line

​$20,000+ in cash and credits. Direct internship interviews paying over $30/hr. VC pitch sessions with checks up to $500K for standout teams. Paid roles. And for the most ambitious builders, a path to up to $1M in funding.

​

​This isn’t “win a gift card.” This is walk in a hacker, walk out with a job, funding, or both.
