Founder brief
Who should attend
Technical founders, machine learning engineers, and developers working in AI will find this free multi-day sprint valuable. It fits builders seeking early-stage collaborators, technical feedback, or a dedicated environment to prototype an AI product alongside peers.
What happens
Kickoff begins with breakfast and team formation at Antler VC, followed by several remote build days where participants can also work from the venue. Teams submit projects online before Thursday evening, leading into the Hack Fair, judging, Community Choice voting, and prize announcements.
Who's in the room
Around one hundred builders gather alongside hosts Jake O'Shea and Michael Daigler. Sponsors represented include Supabase, AutoHDR, Atlassian for Startups, and Hook'em Hacks, alongside the organizing communities of AITX and MLOps World.
How to prepare
Arrive with your development environment configured, API keys ready, and a few rough concepts you want to build. Because team formation happens on site, be ready to clearly articulate your technical skills and the types of machine learning workflows you want to tackle.
