Turn one weekend into your next growth number.
For VC-backed startups and scaleups. Recruit builders, launch products, and grow a community that compounds — without stitching together Luma, Slack, and a spreadsheet, or hiring an agency.
What a builder event gives you.
One event can move adoption, hiring, brand, and community at once. Here’s what you get, and the plays that get you there.
Get developers building on your API.
A launch hackathon puts your new product, API, or model in front of hundreds of engineers who spend the weekend shipping real integrations on it — the fastest path from launch day to real usage and product feedback.
Outcome: live integrations, a wave of first real users, and feedback you cannot buy.
Hire engineers by what they build.
A recruiting-focused sprint lets you watch candidates solve real problems, then move the strongest straight into your pipeline.
Outcome: a shortlist of vetted engineers who already know your stack.
Build a developer community.
A recurring series activates the developers around your product into a community that shows up, contributes, and compounds.
Outcome: a durable, engaged community you own — not rented from a platform.
Turn your raise into momentum.
Channel post-funding attention into adoption and hiring with a buildathon while everyone is already watching.
Outcome: a public signal of momentum, plus adoption and candidates to match.
- Luma + Slack + Notion + a spreadsheet, stitched together by hand
- Judging that collapses the moment submissions pass 50
- The community evaporates the Monday after
- Sponsors, mentors, and judges chased down over cold DMs and email
- No ROI you can put in front of your team or board
- One platform for applications, judging, comms, and community
- Multi-track judging that holds up past hundreds of submissions
- Every builder kept, so the next event starts from a bigger base
- Marketplace access to sponsors, mentors, and judges, ready to book
- A shareable post-event ROI report, generated for you
What you walk away with.
Every play, whichever you pick, ends with something countable.
