2024 Pitching Workshop with Tim Ryan
Unlike a traditional "hackathon,” we have a broad sense of the word "build" — whether you're technical or non-technical, we want you to build together! This event is also an ideal platform to find talent or collaborators to bring your idea to life. The event will occur over three days at the 757 Startup Studios within the Assembly campus in Norfolk, VA and the winners will take home $1000 cash and other prizes!
