Ship Happens: A Seldon Hackathon
- WHO IT IS FOR: Software engineers, developers, and product builders looking to reinvent existing software workflows.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: A high-intensity challenge to pick a paid subscription service and build a superior, reinvented alternative in a single day.
- FORMAT: A one-day competitive hackathon followed by live product demos and a networking social.
Stop complaining about expensive, clunky software subscriptions and start building their replacements. Join the Seldon Community in San Francisco for 'Ship Happens,' a unique hackathon where you have one day to rethink a dev tool, design tool, or CRM and build a functional alternative that people would actually switch to. Whether you arrive with a team or find collaborators on-site, the goal is to reinvent a key workflow through rapid prototyping and execution.
Participants will have access to Wren, Seldon’s specialized QA agent, to help test real user journeys and fix bugs in real-time. The event culminates in a high-stakes demo session where the Seldon team will attempt to use your product to see if it lives up to its promises. With up to $5,000 in prizes up for grabs for the best overall product, most original reinvention, and people's choice, this is your chance to showcase your technical skills and creative problem-solving.
After the intense building phase, celebrate your hard work at the Seldon Speakeasy in SoMa. Relax behind the red velvet curtains with drinks and networking, meeting the Seldon team and fellow builders in an exclusive post-hackathon social.
