55 selected builders, a €6,000 prize pool and a demo night: our hackathon recap.
Imagine a product, iterate, start selling and find first users in under four days. That was the challenge of ORIGIN, the hackathon we co-organised with 42AI.
The format mirrors a real startup launch: no mere demos, but product, contact with real users and a final pitch to a professional jury.
The three winning teams: Hack the World, an interactive geopolitical map; Slide Storm, an assistant that generates decks; Hack your CV, which tailors a CV to any job offer.
Our takeaway: ideas are cheap without execution, and execution is a team sport. That is exactly what EDGE wants to spark.
