lightspeed hackathon

​Build fast. Launch loud. Let the internet decide.

​Welcome to Lightspeed- a high-stakes hackathon where the only thing that matters is traction. Build whatever you want: an app, a site, a tool, a meme generator, a chrome extension- anything goes.

​You’ve got 24 hours. At the end, the winner isn’t chosen by judges or pitch decks. The winner is whoever gets the most website views or downloads. Winning team gets $2500.

​🚀 How It Works

​• Kickoff: You’ll get a launch window and submit your project URL.

​• Build: Solo or in teams. Just get it live.

​• Launch: Share it, promote it, make it go viral.

​• Win: We’ll track traffic/downloads. The top project wins.

​🏆 Why Join?

​• Real-world traction > theoretical pitches

​• No gatekeepers, no panels- just results

​• A chance to prove you can build and ship

​• Oh yeah, and prizes. Plus exposure to potential jobs

​🔥 Who It’s For

​• Founders testing ideas

​• Builders with something to prove

​• Creators who want to launch loud
