Hackathon in SydneyFriday 20 March 2026
FoundersHack Sydney 2026
Chris's take
A two-week university hackathon where you'll talk to real customers before writing code, then pitch your findings to venture investors who actually want you to succeed.
About the eventFrom the organiser
FoundersHack Sydney is a two-week university-focused startup hackathon where student teams of 2-4 people work on venture-scalable problems, emphasizing customer discovery and product validation over coding speed. Participants build MVPs, pitch to a panel of judges at a final showcase, and compete for a prize pool of $3,000. The event includes a fireside chat with VC-backed founders discussing building solutions to difficult problems.
