about this event
General Catalyst is co-hosting a one day hackathon in Waterloo where builders ship something real, demo it to the room, and compete for prizes. Join solo or with a team of up to 4. Expect a full day of hacking, mentorship, demos, and good food.
Judging + Prizes: Demos start at 3PM, career fair style: you present at your station while judges and other teams walk the room. Everyone in the room votes for Audience Favourite. Winning teams pick from the prize pool, first place picks first.
