A Secure, Remote-Ready Platform for a Worldwide Engagement

Run your hackathon from anywhere with our enterprise-grade virtual platform.
Team collaboration, submission tracking, judging, it’s all built in.

1.
Tell Us What You Want to Achieve with AI

You Set the Goal. We Design the Right Format.

Companies use AI hackathons to upskill teams, test new tools, drive innovation, or break silos across departments.

We start by understanding your AI objectives, then design the right format: remote or hybrid, short sprints or multi-day deep dives.

You’ll get guidance from a team that’s delivered 200+ AI-focused hackathons for enterprise teams solving real problems with real results.

2.
We Produce the Virtual Hackathon You Need

From Platform to AI Content, We Build the Whole Experience

We design your branded landing page, craft the email sequences, build the submission flow, and configure the AI tools your teams will use, whether it’s prompting, model integration, or product workflows.

Our team handles every piece so your team can focus on building and learning.

Everything is AI-ready, remote-friendly, and scalable across global teams.

3.
We Find the Best AI Mentors Globally

Practitioners Who Guide, Challenge, and Accelerate Your Teams

We bring in top mentors from AI startups, research labs, and enterprise teams.

They don’t just know the theory, they’ve shipped real AI products and know how to navigate the edge cases.

They coach your participants to fine-tune models, test prompts, evaluate tools like Replit Agents, Lovable or Bolt, and build usable prototypes fast.

The best mentors don’t just teach AI. They help your teams build with it, confidently, creatively, and with real outcomes.

We offer a growing catalog of ready-to-run formats you can tailor to your team’s skill level, tech stack, and business focus. Each one includes expert mentors, structured content, and outcome-driven challenges.

No Code AI Hackathon

Video Generation Hackathon

Most Common Use Cases For Virtual AI Hackathons

Give your teams hands-on experience with the latest AI tools. Through guided workshops and hackathons, they learn by building, faster than any training course. Tech teams can be trained on AI engineering implementations, while non-tech teams can learn prompting or how to use AI tools to automate their workflow.

Instead of long demos and slide decks, give vendors a real challenge. In a few days, you’ll see who can actually build solutions with your team and who isn’t the right fit. This approach helps identify the best AI tools for a given use case or assess which AI engineering or consulting firm to partner with.

Resumes don’t show how someone solves problems or works with your team. Hackathons do. Watch candidates build, collaborate, and stand out, all in your real-world environment. Works especially well to assess younger profiles with limited experience in the field.

Organize Hackathon NBC Universal

When we start planning for a hackathon at NBCUniversal, Hackathon.com is the only partner we think of. Hackathon.com has been a trusted partner of ours since 2015 and together we’ve successfully executed about a dozen hackathons – both with internal and external participants. What impressed me the most is their deep expertise in the space as well as their connections within the various developer communities. The team we work is attentive, extremely competent, organized, proactive and most importantly able to adapt to the ever-changing needs before and during a hackathon. For any company out there who is looking to organize and execute a hackathon, must talk to Hackathon.com as a part of their due diligence.

We worked with Hackathon.com to launch the new Bixby, by hosting a Developer Showcase.
