Join us at AI Engine: Summer Hack!
The best way to spend your summer weekend of August 2nd and 3rd ๐

๐ Calling all AI builders, hackers & startup crews: the AI Engine: Summer Hack is ON! ๐
We know you just want the luma link, please apply through here: https://lu.ma/edovbkm4
Dawn Capital, Crane Venture Partners, Chapter One and an incredible line-up of industry partners are joining forces to host a two-day AI hackathon on August 2nd & 3rd!
What to Expect
We heard you last time, and we are excited to extend this into a two-day hackathon. You should be as serious about building as we are about organising events ๐
Weโre excited to host 150 hackers to build in either one of two tracks:
๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ: Youโll sign up and form a team of 2-4 and build something brand-new from scratch. You will be building towards one of the listed themes (to be released) and compete for exciting prizes! If thereโs something you really want to build, let us know, and maybe theyโll show up in the themes.
๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฝ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ: Youโll bring your existing startup/stealth project and ship a killer feature in one focused sprint. We wonโt be judging you for the hacker track prizes, but youโll get access to expert help and perks kindly offered by our sponsors! (and AC in the UK summer).
We'll have technical experts from our sponsors and partners including Stripe, ACI.dev, Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Prolific, Granola, Incident.io , Requesty, Cogna, Memories AI, Inforcer, Runware, Encore, Firebolt, Encord, and Oneleet giving workshops, technical support, and general advice. As well as sponsoring different prize tracks!
Whatโs special:
The only builder event in town for the weekend of August 2/3
Virtual workshop Thursday before the Saturday to get you set up on all the sponsor platforms
Vibe coding nights before to get you warmed up for peak productivity (stay tuned)
>ยฃ5k in prizes up for grabs, and thatโs excluding the credits
Themes and challenges set out by real companies with real customer needs
Special Follow-up event at the House of Lords for the winners
Of course, there will be plenty of food & drinks, credits, swag, (and AC)!
This is a hackathon for all builders, and we hope you can join us! Applications accepted on a rolling basis, in case you forgot the link: https://lu.ma/edovbkm4
