Heroes Behind AI Hackathon
Companies don't want your resume. They want to see you build.
If you're entering AI, the fastest way in isn't another credential. It's building something real, in front of the people who hire and invest. That's what this is for.
Spots will be limited.
Founders have ideas and need builders. But most junior people, however smart, have never shipped something real, and have no way to prove they can. The result: people who could build get stuck sending resumes that look like everyone else's, while the companies who would hire them can't find them.
Credentials get you screened. Building gets you hired.
What it is
The Heroes Behind AI Hackathon is where the next generation of AI builders proves what they can do. You build something real, judged by the founders you have been learning from on Heroes Behind AI, with hiring, investment, and prizes on the line.
The best builders don't just win. They get hired, and they get funded.
Get hired
The founders judging are the founders hiring. Build something they notice, and you skip the resume pile entirely.
Get funded
Our VC partners are watching for the next thing to back. A working build is the best pitch there is.
Prove you can build
Walk away with something real you made, and the confidence that you can ship. That outlasts any prize.

What's your AI builder archetype?
Before you build, find out how you build. We decode the founders. Now get decoded yourself, and land on the hackathon waitlist while you're at it.
Prizes and perks
The top team gets a $25,000 investment to take their build further, alongside credits, tools, and access from the companies building AI. But the real prize is being seen by the people who hire and fund.
