Shipathon Edition — official flyer
The Idea
A Shipathon is built around one idea: Don’t stop at the idea. Ship the product.
Participants identify real problems, develop solutions, experiment with emerging technologies, build working MVPs, document their progress, and prepare for a public Demo Day.
This is not a one-day hackathon. It is a 60-day builder experience.
Why “Shipathon Edition”?
This edition is called the Shipathon Edition thanks to merch support from RevenueCat. Their contribution helped make the event and participant experience possible.
