GitHub & Microsoft Research Present: Builders Demo Night Seattle
Join us for the exciting culmination of the Builders Hack Day! After a full day of intensive building, the top teams are ready to showcase their innovative projects. This is your chance to see what Seattle's most ambitious builders and founders have created using cutting-edge AI.
On Demo Night, the top 6-10 projects from the hackathon will pitch their commercially viable products to a distinguished panel of investors, including Kevin Crosby from the GitHub Fund and Jon Turow from Madrona.
These projects were built harnessing Microsoft’s powerful open-source technologies—GraphRAG for enterprise-grade knowledge synthesis and NLWeb for web-scale intelligence. You'll witness the results of a unique Microsoft Research study where teams used advanced GitHub Copilot features to accelerate their development.
This is more than just a presentation; it's a prime opportunity to connect with the builders, the investor panel, and technical leaders from GitHub and Microsoft. Come for the demos, stay for the networking, and get a first look at the next wave of AI-powered startups.
