Venture Bridge Hub, AWS Builder Loft, The AI Collective and others are hosting the first Universal Hackathon — "Create Your Own AI Workforce" — at AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco, with $10K+ in credits and cash for winners.
The challenge goes beyond chatbots or single-agent prototypes: teams must build an AI-native business run by a team of specialized agents that collaborate, communicate, and make decisions on real-world work — e.g. running a restaurant, retail shop, travel agency, or film production. Entry requires being 18+, a physical government ID at check-in, completing AWS registration, and joining the event Discord. Space is limited.
