Organized by: Leaner Startups
HELLO SEATTLE! We're excited to announce our one of a kind AI hackathon event, occurring on Sunday, March 26th at the SURF Incubator in downtown Seattle.
This event is not just for developers, entrepreneurs, and people working in tech. If you’ve been inspired by the developments in AI and are ready to build something, then this event is for you!
Join us for an exciting day of innovation, learning, and collaboration as we push the boundaries of AI and explore its potential to transform industries and improve people's lives.
This event is made possible by our friends at SURF Incubator as well as our friends at Leaner Startups. If you haven’t already, go check them out!
You’ll start by forming a team with other people you may or may not know. You’ll brainstorm ideas for an AI product, then spend most of the day working on a proof-of concept. Keep in mind that all work on your project must be completed at the hackathon. At the end of the day, each team will present their project to a panel of judges, and there will be an awards ceremony to select the winners.
In addition to networking with your peers, you’ll be able to interact with Seattle’s leading venture capitalists, as well as people and organizations who are working on the cutting edge of AI.

There will be two rounds of judging. The initial round will be 5 minutes with a randomly selected judge. Each judge will select the two best ideas to be promoted to the final round.
Projects will be judged across 4 dimensions: idea, execution, pitch, future potential.
