100 BUILDERS · 48 HOURS · TALLINN, ESTONIA · Q1 2027
100 Builders. 48 Hours. Hackathon meets LAN party. We are bringing back the raw community energy of late-night LAN parties, combined with modern AI product development, live workflows, and retro gaming.
Whether you are a non-tech enthusiast, an active founder, or a senior engineer: join us to build, compete, or spectate and learn how real AI products get built live, from scratch.

What is on the line: prize pool · sponsor prizes · hiring on the spot · investors in the room. Plus mentors, speakers, LAN night, and a permanent profile in the network.
1. What a seat is worth
The cash prize is the smallest thing on this list.
- Prize pool. Real money for winning teams, split so beginners compete against beginners. Figure published once partners are locked.
- Sponsor prizes. Separate awards from partner companies: hardware, credits, subscriptions, category bounties.
- Hiring without the CV screen. Companies recruit from the floor. They watch you work for 48 hours. The most honest interview that exists.
- Investors in the room. Early-stage funds and angels watching you build and pitch. Some teams leave with a first conversation.
- Mentors on the floor. Senior engineers, founders and operators, there the whole weekend, looking at your work.
- A permanent place in the community. Every participant gets a public profile with your skills, your background and a portfolio of what you shipped — seen by every partner company, investor and founder in the network, long after Sunday.
- Speakers & panels. People shipping AI products in production, not keynote theatre.
- LAN night & afterparty. Counter-Strike 1.6, Quake III, and the part of the weekend nobody posts about.
2. Industry Track
Build against a real problem.
Manufacturers, logistics firms, clinics, banks and factories bring a problem that costs them money every week. Teams can build against one of those instead of an open brief, with the company sitting on the other side of the table.
| Track | What you get |
|---|---|
| For the team | A real user, real constraints, and a company with budget and a reason to sign a pilot on Monday. |
| For the company | Several independent attacks on the same problem in 48 hours, plus direct access to whoever solved it. |
| Open track | No partner brief. Build the thing you have been carrying around. Same jury, same prizes. |

Get in line. First come, first served.
The room holds 100 builders and 100 spectators, and applications are reviewed in the order they arrive. Joining early is the single biggest thing you can do to get accepted. There is no second queue and no way to jump it later.
Pick builder or spectator. It is not final: the list is notified first and you decide then.
You are in the queue.
We will e-mail you with dates, venue and everything else before it goes public.

The community lives in Telegram.
Not just announcements. Builders find teammates, trade tools and workflows, and talk to the organisers. Dates, venue, prize pool, speakers and the moment applications open land here first.
