From Idea to Revenue in 4 Hours: Boston AI Hackathon - #BOSTechWeek
Hosted by

*◟*
From idea to revenue in 4 hours.
Not a prototype. Not a concept. Build something someone would actually pay for.
We’re bringing together builders, founders, and operators in Boston to turn ideas into working AI products. We’ll start with a quick intro to tools and approaches, then move straight into a focused 4-hour build.
Teams will demo what they built and share a clear path to how it could generate revenue. The focus is on building something real and thinking through how it could work in the real world. The best teams won’t just demo, they’ll show how this turns into a real business.
In the evening, we open doors to a broader audience for live pitches, demos, and networking. Come early to build, or join later to see what gets created.
**What You’re Building For
- Real-world use case, not demo fluff
- Clear path to revenue (even if early)
- Live pitch in front of founders, operators, and builders
- Credits + support to continue building post-hackathon
**Examples:
- AI tool that automates a real workflow
- Micro-SaaS with a clear paying user
- AI-powered service or marketplace
- Internal tool companies would pay for
**What Makes This Different
- Not a weekend project, you have 4 hours
- Not judged on code complexity, judged on real-world viability
- Focus on distribution + revenue, not just building
- Builders + operators in the same room
This is for people who want to build, not just talk about building.
**Who Should Attend
- Builders, engineers, and hackers
- Founders and early-stage teams
- Designers and product thinkers
- Operators who think in distribution and revenue
**Team Format
