HACKATHONS:
SOLVE
REAL BUSINESS PROBLEMS.

Bringing hackathons directly to your office. Through a structured hackathon, participants validate ideas, build AI-powered prototypes, and pitch their solutions.

This is not a regular hackathon.

This is not a regular hackathon.

Most hackathons start with ideas.

Ours starts with a real business problem.

Every team begins by understanding the challenge, validating assumptions, and exploring possible solutions before building anything.

Only then do they use AI to prototype, test, iterate, and pitch.

The result isn’t just another demo. It’s a validated concept, a working prototype, and actionable insights your organization can build on.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Problems first, always

Teams validate the problem with real people before touching any technology.

Built-in validation rounds

Not one demo at the end. Multiple rounds of real feedback woven through the day.

Real tools, real output

Teams build with AI tools and walk away with a working prototype.

Short workshops along the way

Facilitators run focused mini-workshops at key moments — prompting, validation, pitching.

Four Phases. One day.

Every team follows the same innovation process we use in our startup programs, condensed into a single day to solve real business problems.

Discover the problem.

Start with the challenge, not the solution. Teams explore the problem, identify its root cause, and validate it with real users before building anything.

Throughout the day, participants join focused 15–20 minute sessions on the skills they need next — from problem validation and AI prompting to rapid prototyping and pitching. Learning happens exactly when it’s needed, then teams immediately put it into practice.

8 HOURS

The Sprint

One intense day. Real problems, real validation, working prototypes, and a pitch.

Problem validation with real people

Build Sprint 1 — first working prototype

Validation Round 1 — real user feedback

Build Sprint 2 — iterate and improve

Validation Round 2 — confirm the fix

6-Part Pitch — structured, coached

Tools: Claude, Codex, n8n & more
