No sponsored challenges. No forced tech stacks. Just great builders solving interesting problems.
The next generation of transformative companies will be built by renaissance engineers — interdisciplinary innovators who combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of user needs, business strategy, and systems-level impact.
We're bringing together ambitious builders for a one-day hackathon at super{set} in San Francisco to turn bold ideas into working products.
Build with the tools you love, experiment with emerging technologies, and show us what you can create in a single day.
🛠️ Choose Your TrackTrack 1: Hacking with Public Data APIs
Build something interesting using publicly available APIs or datasets. Whether it's an MCP server, CLI, web application, or something completely unexpected, we want to see creative ways to turn public data into something useful.
Track 2: Personal Agents & Data Privacy
Explore the intersection of personal AI agents, data privacy, and user consent. Build agents that empower individuals while giving them meaningful control over their data.
