Paris Accel's AI Innovate Series Hackathon

A one-day build for technical people with founder intent: teams of one to five ship an AI product between a 09:00 kickoff and the winners call at 17:00, with a top-eight pitch in between. In person only, laptop required, food and drink provided, sponsor credits and prizes on offer. It is the fourth stop on Accel's five-city AI Innovate Series, run with BuilderBase and Iterate. The day closes with an 18:00 fireside called Off the Record with Mati Staniszewski, co-founder of ElevenLabs. Doors and breakfast from 08:00 at Metafore Boétie in the 8th. Hacker, mentor, judge and pitch-attendee tickets all go through approval. Why go: a hackathon where the judges are the investors, and one of the few Paris rooms where a day's work puts you in front of Accel. Best for technical builders who already want to start something.
