After HackIreland, we're expanding to Europe by partnering with leading student tech communities.

Hack Ireland is Ireland's premier student hackathon. Starting as HackTrinity at Trinity College Dublin, we scaled to a national event. From 500+ applications, we selected 150 top builders for an intensive 30-hour event.

Our events became recruiting grounds for Europe's top tech companies. More than 15% of participants received job offers, with several alumni raising €2M+ in funding and joining Y Combinator.

Unaite is France's federation of the eight leading AI university societies, uniting the best student builders from École Polytechnique, CentraleSupélec, and beyond.

In just one year, they've hosted 20+ events featuring speakers like Perplexity's Aravind Srinivas and Y Combinator partners, plus France's largest student hackathon.

Founder's House is Sweden's largest startup community and the go-to hub for Stockholm's builder scene. They bring together ambitious founders, engineers, and investors through regular events and hackathons.

They've hosted Daniel Ek (Spotify), Anton Osika (Lovable), Max Junestrand (Tandem), and dozens of Europe's top founders. Their Project Lovable hackathon with Project Europe set the standard for builder-focused events in the Nordics.
