StartAI Hack

Purdue’s FIRST Start-Up and AI Hackathon.

Start-AI Hack is a collaboration between

**Purdue Founders⁠

and

Machine Learning at Purdue⁠

with the goal to inspire innovative entrepreneurs and coders to craft business viable solutions in the AI space with positive impacts across various sectors.

Teams consist of coders with business minds for a weekend of coding, building, and pitching. While coders build products, business-oriented team members will prepare marketing materials, a pitch deck, and a business plan. You will be judged on two fronts: code functionality + efficiency, business viability based on your business plan, marketing plan, and overall pitch.

When: March 30 and March 31

Where: Wilmeth Active Learning Center (WALC)
