BUILD by PLYO Lab

About the challenge Build is a curated AI hackathon bringing together builders, founders, and product operators to explore how AI systems can change the way VCs work. Over one weekend in Barcelona (September 26–28 at Le Wagon), participants will form teams, connect with mentors, and prototype solutions around themes defined by our partners, including areas such as private markets, enterprise workflows, and emerging AI applications. This is not a generic hackathon. It is tightly scoped, and designed to produce prototypes with real-world potential. Judges from leading VCs, ecosystem players, and technology partners will evaluate projects on originality, feasibility, technical quality, and impact. Winners will receive prizes from our sponsors, and visibility in the ecosystem.
