/ About this event
SpeedHacks is the official closing hackathon of SF Hack Week!
One day. 12 hours. Start from zero and build something ambitious alongside some of the best technical builders in SF.
The Challenge: Give people their time back. Hackers must build something that removes a meaningful bottleneck in how people work, learn, or access services.
In addition to this overall challenge, hackers will have the opportunity to build with some outstanding speedrun company tools. Each speedrun company will award a 'Best Use' of their product prize at the end of the day.
Come with a team (make sure you mention them when you apply) or find one when you get here!
At the end of the hackathon, finalists will demo live to speedrun investors and portfolio companies.
🏆 The Grand Prize? The winning team will earn a guaranteed interview with the speedrun + Alpha investment team, plus teams can win $1K from speedrun companies for “best use” of their product.
Bring your laptop and we'll handle the food, fun, and caffeine.
