"Hack the Gap": We Flipped the Hackathon Format. No more pointless projects only real problems. (Powered by BLACKBOX.AI)
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a really interesting hackathon coming up in Paris that completely changes the script on traditional formats. If you've ever been frustrated by spending 48 hours building something nobody needs, this is for you.
The Event: Hack the Gap (November 14-16 at 42 Paris)
Instead of asking "What should we build?", the problems are documented before the code starts. We're talking about challenges sourced directly from real experts, NGOs, and researchers.
Why This Format Works:
Real Impact: You're solving documented problems with genuine value, not just building a quick concept.
No Brainstorming Drag: The "what to build" stage is removed, maximizing your 48 hours for actual problem-solving and coding.
The AI Factor: As AI agents (like BLACKBOX.AI) take over more of the boilerplate coding, the problem-solving becomes the core challenge. This format reflects that shift.
The event is co-hosted with BLACKBOX.AI, who is making this unique, problem-first approach possible.
Quick Details:
When: November 14–16
Where: 42 Paris
Prizes: €2000 in prizes
Jury: Stellar panel from top AI labs, founders, and product pros.
Spots are extremely limited, so if you're an AI builder ready to tackle genuine, documented challenges, apply ASAP!
