About this hackathon
Zero to Query is a virtual hackathon powered by LingoQL and Sub0, created to empower developers, founders, and builders to launch real-world products faster with modern cloud infrastructure and backend tooling.
Participants will build innovative applications, APIs, automation systems, SaaS products, and scalable services using the LingoQL ecosystem. The goal is not just to prototype ideas — but to create deployable, production-ready solutions with real business and user value.
Through our collaboration with HolyDigits101, a leading EdTech community reaching over 70,000 students across West Africa, this hackathon also aims to inspire the next generation of technical creators and startup founders across Africa.
Whether you are building a fintech tool, workflow automation system, real-time collaboration platform, or industry-specific SaaS solution, Zero to Query is your opportunity to go from idea to production with zero friction.
