We launched HackEurope to bring Europe's best student builders together, because the strongest of them are spread across the continent and rarely cross paths.
Companies that share that view backed it, including Anthropic, Google DeepMind and Stripe, funding a €250,000 prize pot. That let us fly 1,000 of Europe's top student talent to Dublin, Stockholm and Paris last February, for the first hackathon to run in three cities at once.
It worked. See for yourself below.
