Penn Hackathon

​Entrepreneur First invests in exceptional individuals to build startups from scratch. We bring together talented outliers to develop their most ambitious ideas and raise money from the world’s best investors. EF is backed by some of the world's leading founders and investors, including Patrick and John Collison (Stripe), Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), and Matt Mullenweg (Wordpress).

​Dorm Room Fund is the premier student-run venture fund. We invest in the best tech companies founded by students -- college, MBA, masters, PhD, recently graduated and dropouts. Spun out of First Round Capital, DRF is backed by some of the most successful VCs in the world, including Insight Partners, Marc Andreesen, Floodgate, Garry Tan, and more. Over $1B+ in valuation has been created by DRF portfolio companies, built by over 300 founders from 40 universities.

​​​EF and DRF are coming to Philadelphia on March 16 to find the most exceptional students and graduates. 1 night, that's all the time you'll have to build the most ambitious project and demonstrate you have what it takes to be invited to our Selection Summit.

​​​We're hosting a Selection Summit for the most impressive participants to have the opportunity to be selected for a place in EF’s Summer 2024 cohort in San Francisco. This will be held on March 21 and 22, straight after the Hackathon.

​​​Please leave these dates free in your calendar, so that if you're invited to join the Selection Summit you'll be able to make it.
