What should I build?
A few interesting (suggested) directions you could build in:
1. Trust, Commerce & Fraud... Build systems that make online transactions safer, reduce scams, detect fraud, and increase trust in digital marketplaces.
2. The Future of Work... Help people navigate an increasingly volatile job market and access better career opportunities.
3. Security, Resilience & Defense... Strengthen national, organizational, and individual resilience against physical and cyber threats.
4. AI-Native Organizations... Help businesses transition from traditional workflows to AI-powered, agent-driven operations. Rapidly. At scale.
These are suggestions, not constraints. The best projects often come from a problem you've personally experienced and deeply understand.
Build2026 is a Proof of Work hackathon. Our VC, ecosystem, and startup partners will be on the ground to scout top talent & ideas.
