Night Hack by Founders, Inc.

​50 teams showed up for the first Night Hack. Winners shipped secure sandboxes, robot training pipelines, sports tech, and more. They left with cash, credits, and campus access. ​Now we’re running it back. ​One night at the Founders, Inc. lab. Build hardware, software, or both. ​The goal: ship something real in one night. ​Live demos only. No slides. No localhost. Show it working. ​We’re looking for deeply technical builders who can move fast, build under pressure, and actually ship. ​Who this is for ​Engineers, technical founders, designers, and operators. ​Solo or team. First project or fiftieth. If you’ve been sitting on an idea or losing sleep over one, this is your push to ship it. ​Open to Off Season builders and a small number of external teams. ​Details ​Capacity: 80 teams, approval required Location: Founders, Inc. campus, Fort Mason, SF Cost: Free ​Founders, Inc. backs early-stage founders in emerging tech with $100K–$250K first checks.
