About the Challenge

Hack the Vibe is a 48-hours online hackathon where AI meets entrepreneurship. The goal? To build a functional startup prototype using vibe coding tools, where you describe what you want, and AI helps you build it.

This hackathon challenges participants to create startup-worthy solutions using natural language + AI tools like GPT, GitHub Co-pilot, Cursor, and more. Think fast. Think intuitive. Think scalable.

If you've ever had a billion-dollar idea but didn't know how to build it, this is your moment.

Get Started

The challenge will revolve around three domains:

🧠 SaaS

⚡ Productivity

🏥 Social Good

Problem statements will be revealed during the Opening Ceremony.

Your task? Use vibe coding to rapidly prototype an MVP that solves a real-world problem in one of these spaces.

Whether you're a future founder, student hacker, or someone who builds with intuition, this hackathon is your launchpad.

Let's vibe-code the next big thing.

Let's Hack the Vibe.

Requirements

What to Build

A working MVP that addresses one of the revealed problem statements from the domains of SaaS, Productivity, or Social Good.

Your solution should aim to solve a real-world problem and show potential to evolve into a scalable startup.

What to Submit

•
Project Title & Description – What your project does and the problem it solves
•

•
Demo Video (3–5 minutes) – A clear walkthrough of your MVP and how it works
•
Toolstack Used – Brief list of AI tools, libraries, or platforms used
•

Your submission should showcase your build journey, the inspiration, the tools you vibed with, and the creative spark behind your solution.
