The Side Hustle Hackathon
Mission: Build an AI product that makes money and win $$$ while building it
About
Most hackathons end at the demo. This one starts there. The Side Hustle Hack is a 4 day sprint to build and launch an AI-powered product, followed by a 4-week push to turn it into something that actually makes money. Hosted in collaboration with Anything, Figural and HEC VIBE (HEC Paris’ Entrepreneurship Club), this hackathon is open to students ready to build fast and test real ideas. Over one long weekend, you’ll ship something real. Over the next four weeks, you’ll launch it, grow it, and compete to see who can generate the most revenue for their Side Hustle.
