Breakthrough Lab

Build days for top engineers.

Application only hackathons with real problems and real prizes. We bring the builders, our cohosts bring the problems, and the best teams walk away with prizes, customers and new collaborators.

Cohost a hackathon

Bring a real problem to the room

Companies and communities cohost each hackathon: you bring a problem worth solving, prizes or credits, and judges, and we bring vetted engineers and run the day. Join the list and we'll reach out as each one takes shape.

Hackathon spaces

Need a space?

Finding a room for 100+ builders is the hardest part of running a hackathon. We help hackathon organizers find spaces with strong wifi, plenty of power and room to build, and we offer annual space packages for teams that run hackathons all year.
