about this event
🔔 Herackthon 2026: Hack for Her, Build for All
"The 'she economy' is already a mature market. Technology products built from a female perspective have never lacked commercial value — what they have lacked are platforms and opportunities."
Many women-focused hackathons exist across North America, but Herackthon 2026 is designed for everyone. We invite people of all genders and backgrounds to build tech solutions with, and for, women's perspectives — whether that insight comes from a teammate, deep user interviews, or observing everyday details often overlooked. Beyond the pitch deck, this is your chance to build, ship, and launch a real product.
What to Expect
Hands-on Workshops: Gain practical skills with 2x Vibe Coding workshops, 1x Infrastructure & Architecture workshop, and 1x Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy workshop.
Market Sprint: Turn your concept into a live product, test it with real users, and see your impact in real-time.
Grand Finale: Pitch your working prototype and compete for top prizes.
Mentorship & Community: Connect with experienced engineers from leading tech companies and meet prospective teammates.
