VillageHacks'26 | April 11-12, 2026 | Startup Village @ ASU

24 hours. Real problems. Real founders watching. VillageHacks returns to ASU with 600+ builders, 3 tracks, and one rule: ship something that works. Tracks • Core CS (AI/ML, Full-Stack, Systems) • Marketing (Social Media Growth & Virality) • Build and pitch a startup in 24 hours What makes this different This isn’t a “build a demo and collect a t-shirt” hackathon. Teams solve real startup-backed problems and present directly to founders, operators, and investors. The best builders walk away with interviews, mentorship, and funding conversations. What’s on the line $20,000+ in cash and credits. Direct internship interviews paying over $30/hr. VC pitch sessions with checks up to $500K for standout teams. Paid roles. And for the most ambitious builders, a path to up to $1M in funding. Powered by GameStock. This isn’t “win a gift card.” This is walk in a hacker, walk out with a job, funding, or both.
