Build something real. Ship it to the internet. Let the world decide who wins. A hackathon in Boston for PMs, engineers, and AI builders. No pitch decks. No judge panels. You build something in a few hours, post it everywhere, and let real-world traction decide the winners. This is for people who ship, not people who present. How it works Show up. Form a team or go solo. Pick a track. Build something fast — AI tools, workflows, whatever gets the job done. When time's up, post it: LinkedIn, X, Product Hunt, wherever your audience lives. Most real engagement wins. No panel. Just the internet. Tracks Dream PM Tool — Build the PM workflow you wish existed. GTM Machine — Build something that gets a product in front of the right people, fast. Sales Autopilot — Build something that helps a sales team close faster. Schedule 11:00 AM — Doors open.
