About this Event
One afternoon. Build something real. Post it to the internet. Let the world decide who wins.
Beats & Build is a hackathon in San Francisco. Music, drinks, and a room full of PMs, engineers, and AI builders — all shipping something real by end of day.
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 everywhere. 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.
