NYUPMC x Base44 x Peri Buildathon
Build a real product for a real business in one evening.
Peri is a private talent network that connects great people with startups and builds the platform businesses use to catch what slips through the cracks.
If you’re looking to break into the startup world or pivot within it, connect with me at lochlain-healy to grab a coffee.
Northline Supply, a fictional company, is a 40-person supplier serving 200 restaurants and offices across NYC. Its data lives in four systems that don’t talk to each other, and money slips through the cracks every month. Your team will build the app that Dana, their operations manager, opens every morning to catch what slipped and fix it. (All data is fictional.)
How it works
5:00 Case kickoff from the Peri team
5:15 Build in teams of 3–4 on Base44 (no coding background needed, credits provided)
A mid-event twist tests whether your app really works
7:30 Submissions close → finalists demo → winners announced
How you’ll be judged
Catch (30%): find the real problems and the dollars behind them, without false alarms
Proof (20%): numbers computed from the data, with every flag traced to its records
Action (20%): one click from a finding to a draft Dana can approve
Product sense (30%): would Dana actually use it every day?
Judges
Miles Porter (CEO and Co-Founder), Agatha Advincula (CTO and Co-Founder) and Bryce James (Founding Engineer), all from Peri
What you’ll win
An on-site meeting with Peri’s CEO at their Dumbo office
Introductions to Peri’s portfolio companies
A chance to get on the radar of a fast-growing team 👀
