These students are among the sharpest builders around, and they’ll go on to lead and build what comes next. We want to give them the best place to grow — alongside people who care about that as much as we do.
Four ways to partner
Share the real, unsolved problems your field is wrestling with, as inspiration for builders looking for somewhere real to start. Not a set task, just a place to begin.
A problem or two, and a short conversation. We shape it into something students can run with. No data you can’t share, and no heavy lifting on your end.
Offer API or platform credits so no one’s best idea is capped by what they can afford to run. Your tools end up in the hands of sharp early builders.
A credit grant and a technical contact. We handle distribution to teams and setup support. No ongoing commitment required.
Send your engineers and researchers to mentor teams through the build and judge the final work. Time and attention often matter more than money.
A few hours, in person or remote. Mentor during the four-week build, judge submissions in early August, or both. We work around your schedule.
A technically deep talk on how you really build. Architectures, infrastructure, the hard tradeoffs, the dead ends. Not a keynote, the real thing.
A date in August and a topic you’ve lived. We help shape the talk so it lands with a room of builders. Line-up is being confirmed now.
The Challenge runs on its community too — not just companies.
Amplify the Challenge to your builder network and bring more students into the room.
A place in the community tier and shared promotion to your members.
Where you plug in
Low commitment. Real signal.

Whether it’s a problem, credits, your time, or a talk, we’ll shape the rest around you.
