About Event
Come build something ambitious with us at the premier hackathon of NY Tech Week by a16z.

Whether you’re hacking on a startup idea, experimenting with a new tool, or just want an excuse to build something cool with smart people around you - this hackathon is for you.
We’ll have a relaxed but high-energy environment where the focus is simple: build, ship, and learn.
