​What is Sprint Zero?

​We’re building something new. And instead of perfecting it behind closed doors, we’re doing it in public.

​Sprint Zero is the first in a series of AI Hub events designed to bring together builders, thinkers, and decision-makers. Not a conference. Not a typical hackathon. An experiment in how people actually collaborate around AI.

​The Concept

​Dutch companies bring real challenges they’re actively struggling with. You join a team of people you don’t know and spend the afternoon solving one. With AI. And a twist that will change building conditions along the way.

​Team Setup

​You’ll be placed in a team with people you haven’t met before, that’s part of the experience. The room will be filled with builders, thinkers, and operators from different backgrounds, making it a great opportunity to meet new people and work in ways you normally wouldn’t.

​You’re very welcome to invite your team along. Just know that teams will be mixed on purpose, to spark new connections, fresh perspectives, and unexpected collaborations.

​How it works

​You join one of two tracks. Both work on the same challenges.

​Non-Tech Track | Walk-in at 11.30
For strategists, product people, designers, and the AI-curious. Structured workshops, hands-on guidance, and coaches throughout the day.
👉 The goal isn’t to compete with the tech track. It’s to surprise yourself.

​Tech Track | Walk-in at 13.00
For developers, engineers, and anyone who codes. No workshops. No hand-holding. Just a challenge, a team, and a time limit.
👉 Expect a mid-build twist that will test your instincts as much as your skills.
