The room speaks for itself.
“It was incredibly rewarding to realise that with the right tools and mindset, we could turn an idea into a working product in just a few hours.”
Kaelyn C.
BSc Sustainable Built Environments, UCL · London
Pearl
Founder
Building at the intersection of design and code.
“When working on our project, we also talked to the team next to us and gave feedback on each other's products and connected with them.”
Vashin K.
Statistics, Economics & Finance · London
Alex
Engineer, Oxford
Research in AI. Side-quest hustler.
“Did a lot of hustling and was able to complete a product in 3 days — really satisfying and memorable.”

Philipp
Community lead, FOMO Germany
MBA Candidate at TUM, ex-PwC. Lifelong learner, passionate about startups, early-stage investing and emerging technologies.
“Even if you're alone, show up, come to these events. Even if half the hackathon has passed and you don't have a team or haven't built anything, just keep going. Even if you don't have the technical skills. Ask questions. Reach out. Three days earlier, we didn't even know how to configure and export an API. And suddenly, we were seeing our creation come to life.”

05 · For companies
Your next hire.
Your first users.
Your global launch.
We build custom programs for companies that want to recruit from the top of the talent pool, ship faster with real feedback, or make a mark in a new market.
Host a hackathon
We run the full operation — format, builder recruitment, judging, demos. You get working prototypes, hiring signal, and brand visibility in one evening or weekend.
Build a hiring pipeline
Skip the résumé filter. Get direct access to vetted builders who've already proven they can ship under pressure. We make warm intros.
Get product feedback
Put your product, API, or tool in front of 50–200 builders using it in real time. The feedback loop doesn't get tighter than this.
Launch in a new city
Tap into our local networks across SF, NYC, London, Paris, and Munich. We handle the room, the people, and the program.
Past partners include Anthropic · a16z · ElevenLabs · Lovable · Oura · MIT · Harvard · Stanford · Columbia · UCL
06 · The signal
