Walk in with an idea. Walk out with a live, deployed MVP — and a shot at $25,000 in Azure credits. This is a hands-on, full-day hackathon for founders, PMs, and builders who want to ship real software using GitHub Copilot and agentic AI workflows — no deep engineering background required. We'll start with a masterclass from Miguel Martinez, Principal AI Solutions Engineer at Microsoft, covering the GitHub Copilot fundamentals, prompt patterns, and agentic workflows that turn ideas into working code. Then you'll team up (teams of 3–4) and spend the afternoon in a focused build sprint, with Microsoft mentors roaming the room to unblock you. By 4pm, you'll demo a working product to our judging panel. One team walks away with $25,000 in Azure credits from Microsoft for Startups. Who should come: Non-technical founders and PMs who want to build the MVP they've been putting off. Engineers who want to ship fast and meet founders. Anyone curious about what's actually possible with AI-assisted coding in 2026. What you'll leave with: A deployed MVP, a new team of builders, and hands-on experience with the Copilot workflows top teams are using to ship 10x faster.
