​AI hackathon in SF - builders, founders and YC judges.

​!!! Doors close at 11 AM or earlier when the venue reaches capacity. Once full, no further entry will be possible.

​

​🚀 Join us on August 16, 2025 in downtown SF for a one-day AI Hackathon focused on bold ideas, teamwork, and innovation.
Build cutting-edge AI agents in automation, copilots, and data ops — alongside fellow engineers and YC founders.

​Motto: Think broader. Act faster. Show your difference.

​✅ Challenge:
Build the future of sales!
This hackathon is for developers, product managers, sales engineers, marketers, and AI enthusiasts who want to create new and useful solutions in the world of sales using #AI and #HubSpot.

​🔧 You decide which pain point you want to solve.

​ It can be anything:
- low-quality leads,
- repetitive tasks,
- inefficient sales funnels,
- or sales teams burned out from sending the same emails and holding the same meetings.

​🎯 The main goal is to build a working app or prototype that can be integrated with HubSpot and/or published on the HubSpot App Marketplace.

You can (and we recommend!) use no-code or low-code tools, like Opal from Google Labs (https://opal.withgoogle.com), which was announced on July 24, 2025.
