The 72-Hour Timeline

Day 1

Team Formation & Ideation

Founders arrive, pitch ideas, and form teams around the most compelling concepts. The energy kicks off immediately.

Day 2

Intensive Building

Teams build non-stop with mandatory check-ins every 4 hours. Mentors circulate, providing feedback and guidance. Ship real progress.

Day 3

Showcase & Pitching

Teams demonstrate what they built to investors, mentors, and peers. Each team gets 5 minutes to pitch and answer questions.

This Is Not a Hackathon

We evaluate teams on both the quality of their idea and the tangible progress they make. Winners don't just get recognition—they get real outcomes.

Winning Teams Receive

  • Direct investor introductions
  • Dedicated funding discussions
  • Strategic partnerships
  • Enterprise cloud credits
