To The Americas! - Hackathon by the Unicorn Mafia

​100 builders. 24 hours. A real shot at SF.

​To The Americas is a curated hackathon for Europe’s top 0.1% of builders.

​Europe has the talent. San Francisco has the ecosystem (for now).

​This is the hackathon that gives Europe’s best developers a shot at building a real startup - not just a demo.

​This hasn’t been done before.

​So build something freakin’ epic!!!
