The build-day brief · 001
Bring what you know.
The Give Back Hack brings founders and nonprofit teams together with technologists, builders, business mentors, and problem-solvers to work on real challenges.
01
Listen.
Founders and nonprofit teams bring the context, the constraints, and the work that matters now.
02
Work.
Volunteers build, advise, and help turn real needs into practical next steps.
03
Share.
The room comes back together to show what moved and where the work can go next.
For nonprofits and founders
Bring a problem to the room.
The day opens from the stage. Take two minutes to say what you are stuck on, and teams form around the problems people bring. Sign up ahead of the day and we will confirm your spot by email.
