Rolling Hackathon
Europe has been a talent
supplier for too long.
Strong technical education, world-class engineers, and then... export. The best leave for California. The ones who stay work remotely for American companies. The value creation happens elsewhere.
This isn't inevitable. The talent is here. What's missing are recurring, high-intensity spaces where builders find each other and start things locally.
Rolling Hackathon is one piece of that puzzle.
We're focused on the application layer in AI — the part Europe most neglects. Everyone talks about models and infrastructure. But value in the next few years accrues to what gets built on top. That's where European talent can compete.
What patrons are backing
- •A thesis, not a logo. You're not sponsoring an event.
You're funding ecosystem development — a recurring community of builders focused on AI applications. - •Access to signal. You see what's actually being built, what's working, what's hype. Live demos, real conversations — not filtered through pitch decks.
- •Early conviction. The best backing happens before consensus. If this works, you were in the room when it was 50 people in Warsaw.
What we won't do
- •No mass contact lists. No recruiter access. No spammy outreach.
- •Connection between patrons and participants is opt-in, not brokered.
- •We're building trust, not selling leads.
If you believe
Europe should be building, not just supplying talent
