About This hackathon
The AI Startup Hackathon is where entrepreneurship meets cutting-edge technology. In this 12-hour sprint, participants will not only build an AI-powered product but also define its business model and market fit. The focus is on creating "minimum viable products" (MVPs) that solve real-world consumer pain points using intelligent automation, personalized recommendation engines, or generative tools. Mentors from the Silicon Beach tech scene will be on hand to provide feedback on both technical feasibility and commercial viability, culminating in a high-stakes pitch session at the end of the day.
