About Hackathon Q
Supporting generational companies built for Europe
Hackathon Q exists for the next wave of European builders — ambitious people in their twenties and thirties who want to make something that lasts. We bring founders, hardware and software engineers, and VC partners into one weekend so the best ideas get the space, tools, and audience they need.
You'll like this if
You're ambitious. You're working on an idea — or you're keen to make something with generational impact. We built this weekend for you.
Ambitious builders
You're in your twenties or early thirties, shipping hard, and thinking in decades — not weekends.
Idea in motion
You're already working on something, or you're ready to start. Either way, you want generational impact.
Hardware & software
Engineers, makers, and product people — if you build in atoms or bits, you're welcome here.
Any sector
We don't restrict what you build. Climate, deep tech, consumer, health, infra — if it's ambitious, bring it.
No sector limits
We don't restrict what you're building. Applicants from any sector are welcome — deep tech, consumer, climate, health, robotics, AI, or something nobody has a category for yet. If it could become a generational company for Europe, it belongs here.
Send your wishlist
Tell us what you need to build — hardware kits, compute, tools, materials, space — and we supply what we can. You bring the ambition. We remove the friction.
Hardware engineers: sensors, parts, fabrication access, and hands-on support so you can prototype for real.
Software engineers: compute, APIs, and the setup to ship a working product by Sunday.
Mixed teams: same weekend, same resources, same bar — build something partners want to see.
Sponsors, partners & VCs
We're accepting sponsors and partners who want to join the event, supply resources, and meet builders shaping Europe's next generational companies.
Join the weekend
Show up, supply tools or capital in-kind, and sit with the people actually building. Temporary placeholder: reach out via the founders below to partner with us.
Sunday demo day
At the end of the weekend, builders demo to partners. A focused room of VCs, operators, and sponsors — not a pitch theatre, a first look at what got made.
Organised by founders
Founded by founders who know that creators with the right resources and environment can build something extraordinary. We've lived it: hackathons where we met co-founders, launched companies, and built lifelong friendships. That's the experience we're bringing to ambitious builders across Europe.
