Whale x Anthropic: Claude Code Hackaton - Amsterdam

Build Local: A 24-hour hackathon in Amsterdam, co-hosted with Anthropic Technology is getting rapidly more powerful — but not everyone has equal access. On April 25–26, we are bringing together 100 of the best builders to create products for people and sectors that have less access, or risk being left behind entirely. Build local: think minorities, non-profits, municipalities, emergency services, or even countries. In 24 hours, you will go from idea to product, and pitch in front of the Jury and investors. And yes, we have crazy prizes worth over 10k+ 🏆🚀 Demo day is hosted by Jacqueline van den Ende, and Jury Members include Adriaan Mol, Duco van Lanschot, Clare Jones, and more. You can find more information on the Jury [1], how this is for [2], the schedule [3], and contributors [4]. Ready to build? Best, Alexander, Max, Joris, Bas 🐳 🔒 Participation is free but selective.
