Join Brainbase Labs at Cloudflare HQ in San Francisco for the Startup Speedrun Hackathon, an intensive 8-hour sprint designed to take your startup idea from concept to deployment. Supported by industry leaders including Anthropic, Stripe, and Cloudflare, this event challenges builders to push the limits of AI by creating agents that can handle payments, manage infrastructure, and operate as autonomous organizations.
Participants compete across three specialized tracks: Agentic Payments, Infrastructure Deployment, and Autonomous Organizations. With over $27,500 in total prizes—including cash, compute credits, and free Stripe Atlas incorporation—this is your chance to build a company in a single day. Whether you are building agents that transact autonomously or systems that manage entire software stacks, the goal is to see how far you can go in a single session.
