Beta Hacks is a monthly hackathon series designed for the most ambitious builders, engineers, and students to turn ideas into real products — fast.

Whether you’re exploring a new concept, validating a startup idea, or pushing the limits of emerging technologies, Beta Hacks provides the environment, resources, and community to help you ship.

Each month, participants will gather to collaborate in teams or build solo, working intensively to prototype and launch functional products within a focused timeframe. Throughout the event, founders and builders will have access to hands-on support from experienced mentors, investors, and operators across AI, product, and go-to-market.

At the end of each hackathon, teams will demo their projects to the open-floor. Projects will be evaluated based on innovation, execution, technical depth, and real-world potential.

💰 Beta Fund Investment Opportunity

At least one team will be selected for $25,000 and Up to $50,000 investment. The other top teams will be considered for a $25,000 - $50,000 investment from Beta Fund, subject to due diligence and follow-up discussions.

Topics:

Track 1: AI Video Agents for Vertical Industries
Automating end-to-end video workflows (e.g., real estate walkthroughs, compliance training) by building domain-specific agents that understand context and generate tailored video outputs.
Track 2: AI-Powered Content Automation
Building fully automated pipelines (input → generation → optimization → distribution) that turn ideas or data into ready-to-publish videos for marketing and e-commerce.
Track 3: AI DevTools for Video
Developing infrastructure—SDKs, orchestration tools, or evaluation systems—that lowers the barrier for developers to integrate high-quality video generation into their own products.
Track 4: Physical AI + Simulation
Leveraging video generation to simulate environments and generate training data, accelerating the development of physical AI systems like robotics or autonomous agents.
