The numbers so far, all editions combined
The protocols who backed us
Intentionally smaller, sharper by design
Smaller by design
Max 40 builders in one room. Density over attendance, not a weaker edition but a sharper one.
In-house at Urbe Hub
Hosted entirely inside the Hub. Lower overhead, and the venue itself becomes the format.
Direct sponsor access
A few sponsors close enough to actually mentor and work with the builders. Not a logo wall.
Don't build just for the weekend
New & existing projects
We look for projects worth carrying forward: fresh ideas, ventures already in motion, and motivated groups of builders who arrive ready to commit for the long run.
Built to continue
We encourage builders to keep developing their work beyond the weekend, and we help them continue it over time, alongside our partners and sponsors.
Three themes to build around
AI
Agents, automation, and onchain intelligence.
Finance
Payments, DeFi, and financial primitives.
Privacy
Privacy, security, and user sovereignty.
