Night Hack III
About this event
Night Hack II by Founders, Inc
50 teams joined the first Night Hack. Winners shipped secure sandboxes, robot training pipelines, and sports tech. Took home $1k+ cash, credits, and a month at campus.
We're running it back.
Build hardware, software, or both. AI, agents, tools, robots, infra - all fair game.
The theme is: ship something real in one night.Live demos only. No slides. No localhost. Show it working.
