Caltech Longevity Hackathon
Build. Pitch. Get Funded.
The Caltech Longevity Hackathon is a selective, high-impact weekend designed for people who want more than just a project — they want a real shot at building the next longevity company.
Over three days at Dabney Hall, teams will build longevity and healthcare technologies at the intersection of biology, neuroscience, AI, and medicine. But this isn’t just about hacking — it’s about turning science into investable ventures.
What makes this hackathon different:
🚀 Direct access to VCs actively looking to invest
Partnering venture funds will be attending with the explicit goal of identifying teams and projects they want to back. Participants will pitch directly to investors at the end of the hackathon.💡 Startup-grade feedback, not academic judging
Projects are evaluated for scientific depth, technical execution, and real-world viability — the same criteria investors use.🏆 Monetary prizes + exclusive longevity experiences
We’re partnering with leading longevity and health companies to offer prizes, experiences, and follow-on opportunities — with more to be revealed soon.🧠 A room full of builders, scientists, and founders
This is a carefully curated network designed to spark serious collaborations and long-term teams.
Whether you’re a researcher curious about entrepreneurship, a builder passionate about health, or a founder looking for your next big idea — this is a rare opportunity to build something meaningful and pitch it directly to people who can help take it to the next level.
