About Event

May 26–27 · Malmö · 24 Hours of Pure Creation

No buzzwords. No fluff. Just code, caffeine, and chaos.
We’re kicking off Mashup Founders Day with a 24-hour AI hackathon — your playground to tinker, break stuff, and build something that actually matters.

Use the latest from Google AI, Neo4j, and Loveable — or bring your own weird stack. Prototype fast, ship faster.

We’ve already got YC teams, exited founders, and top-of-class grads from Europe’s nerdiest universities. Expect brainy convos and serious late-night debug energy.

Mentors from Loveable and Neo4j will be in the trenches with you.
Judged by legends: Anton Osika (Founder/CEO, Loveable) & Emil Eifrem (Founder/CEO, Neo4j).


👥 Who’s This For?

This hackathon is open to:

  • 🧠 Startup founders, students, grads, and young pros

  • 💻 Devs, designers, product folks, and idea whisperers

  • 🧪 Curious humans who want to build something cool in 24 hours

No need to be an AI god. Just bring your curiosity, your weirdest ideas, and a hunger to build with others. Solo? No worries — we’ll help you find your squad.


🧠 Theme: Build What Matters

Use AI to solve a problem that actually means something.
