Disrupt SF Hackathon Registration Open! Plus Last Day for Early Bird Tickets

Wise DameRegistration is officially open for our fourth Hackathon, and we'd love to make it our biggest yet! We promise more pizza, more caffeine and more glory than ever. We had 700 registrants for the last event in New York -- let's top it! The format remains the same - a little less than 24 hours to create a hack on site and present a working demo to an audience of developers, press and industry insiders. Sign up now!Celebrating DevelopersGroupMe has proven that you can build a Weekend-hacked, Seed-funded, Series-A-ed, Acquired-by-Skype, all-in-about-a-year startup from a TC Hackathon. (Props to Jared and Steve's for their monstrous hustle). But the goal of these increasingly awesome events isn't just to build startups--we want to give developers a platform to shine. For every GroupMe there's a Mr Stabbyphone; for every Wisedame there's a Drunkerator; for every Docracy a Venture Crapital. It's that mixture of utility and whimsy that keeps the Hackathons, and our industry for that matter, fresh. Much of the field is built behind the scenes by the hard work of talented developers and Hackathons are a the best way we've found to spotlight them.
