01Hack University — worldwide initiative
Where learners
become founders.
A community-led startup incubator. Twelve hackathons a year, 80+ technical events, mentorship and real projects — first idea to first launch. Every university, every major, no prerequisites.
02How the incubator works
From first idea
to first launch.
Every builder moves through the same four steps — prototype, mentor, demo, launch. One cohort, start to finish.
01
Build
Turn an idea into a working prototype during a hackathon cohort.
02
Mentor
Get matched with industry mentors, judges and peers.
03
Demo
Show the work at demo day, in front of the community.
04
Launch
Ship it — prizes, recognition, and the next step toward a startup.
03Portfolio & demo day
What our
builders ship.
Every cohort ends in a demo day. Browse the projects, the teams and the winners.

05Mission
Close the gap between
education and industry.
Every learner gets access to real hackathons, startup mentorship and a global builder community — whatever their major, school or background.
It started at Florida International University and became a worldwide initiative, run by seven tech organizations together.
01
Membership
Free with the OneStop form. Every hackathon we run, interview prep, resume reviews, startup pitch coaching, executive board openings, and cross-discipline industry access.
02
Community
Discord for coding help, team formation and mentorship (unlocked after OneStop). GroupMe and the Instagram group for announcements and networking, open to all.
03
Who can join
All majors, no coding experience required — computer science, engineering, business, health, law, design, education, biology, math, chemistry, environmental science, and any other.
06Recordings
Watch a session
Not every event streams. Check the event agenda first to see whether a video stream is scheduled — a live event does not always mean a live stream. When one is on, come back here and sign in with your Google account to join it. Still unsure? Ask on our community platforms — people here are glad to help.
