Hackathons
build, launch, iterate
Ship in AI-native events where sponsor docs become agents inside your IDE, bounties and judging criteria travel with you, and every project is judged on what was actually built, not how it was pitched.
The hackathon platform built for AI-native builders.

Three ways
to Loop
Hackathons reward the best build of a themed sprint. Certify grades you through a sponsor's stack at your own pace. Build Battles are head-to-head, against the clock.
One evidence-first engine under all three, real code, judged by AI.
Pick your arena.
Certify
prove what you can ship
Ship five real projects on a sponsor's stack at your own pace, get judged by AI on evidence instead of a quiz, and earn a co-branded credential that lives on your profile for good.
Compete
battle live, climb the board
Competitive coding, reimagined for the AI era. Five projects, ten hours, every two weeks, scored live by the AI Judge while the leaderboard moves and your rating climbs.

We Shipped At
Loops House
Loops House was a game changer for our hackathon. It gave participants one place to ideate, access resources, and submit projects, making judging much easier. The AI scoring feature was also a fun way to compare projects alongside judge evaluations.

Loops House empowered me to build and experiment with AI agents. A great platform for learning, collaboration, and skill development.

Loops House feels like a unified platform for hosting, evaluating, and ideating on hackathon projects, powered by AI-driven tools. It did help me refine my ideas under hackathon constraints.

Submitting Echo on Loops House was the easiest thing I've done all year, a clean interface and zero struggle from start to finish.

As a first-timer I was terrified. The friendly tone, the team matching, the cat, it made me feel like I belonged on day one.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can we run a private or enterprise hackathon on Loops?
Yes. Private and internal-innovation events are supported. Talk to us about access controls, custom sponsor mix, and reporting for your team.
What does it cost to host or sponsor?
Pricing depends on event size, sponsor tiers, and how much of the program you want us to run. Reach out at contact@loops.house and we'll scope it with you.
How do you handle sponsor telemetry and reporting?
Sponsors see real telemetry: Skill installs, Co-pilot queries, sponsor-doc usage, and project quality scores, so you can measure engagement, not just impressions.
Do builders own their projects? What about IP?
Builders own what they build. Each project gets a canonical, public page with its judging report attached, portfolio-ready and recruiter-shareable.
