Join us for a fast-paced, two-hour hackathon! Build something amazing - by hand, with AI, or a mix of both - in just two hours!
When & Where
Tuesday, Sep 23 at the Sentry office in San Francisco. Doors open at 5 pm.
Theme
"Give your best in 2 hours" - create anything you want with any tech or tools you like. The challenge: make the most of just two hours. Be resourceful and show us what you can do!
Awards & Prizes
After hacking, each team will pitch their project. Pitches are exactly 2 minutes - no Q&A - one presenter per team. We will cut the mic right at the 2-minute mark. We’ll then vote for the winners and giveaway a PS5 among all presenting teams - and, of course, there will be plenty of merch for all winners!

Just did my first product pitch at the @getsentry Lightning Hackathon. Didn't know anyone, met @Plopix and @fabmilo, and in 2 hours we made LegitPic to streamline how developers implement image uploads and moderation. Then I pitched it in 2 minutes.

Yesterday, we ran a 2-hour Lightning Hackathon at Sentry with the theme: what can you accomplish in just 2 hours of hacking time? 👀 We had 20 teams pitch their hacks, including a prompt-based image moderation SaaS, a Gmail manager, a music creation sandbox, and more!
