Beta Hacks is a monthly hackathon series designed for the most ambitious builders, engineers, and students to turn ideas into real products — fast.

Whether you’re exploring a new concept, validating a startup idea, or pushing the limits of emerging technologies, Beta Hacks provides the environment, resources, and community to help you ship.

Each month, participants will gather to collaborate in teams or build solo, working intensively to prototype and launch functional products within a focused timeframe. Throughout the event, founders and builders will have access to hands-on support from experienced mentors, investors, and operators across AI, product, and go-to-market.

At the end of each hackathon, teams will demo their projects to the open-floor. Projects will be evaluated based on innovation, execution, technical depth, and real-world potential.

The Challenge: Building the AI-Native Future Participants are tasked with building "primitives" and "intelligence layers" that bridge foundation models and real-world utility. Projects must align with one of three investment pillars

Pillar 1: AI-Native Organization OS – Infrastructure for teams where agents outnumber humans, focusing on orchestration, security, and reliability.
Pillar 2: Vertical AI – Converting service industries (e.g., customs, insurance, construction) into software-margin businesses.
Pillar 3: Physical AI – The intelligence layer connecting software to the physical world via multimodal reasoning or simulation.

Build something that matters.
