Mission

With our AI hackathons and events, we want to motivate talent to innovate with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence. Our approach is different as we focus on innovating with technologies without stating a specific problem to solve. We work closely with AI labs and other AI communities while also providing a platform that facilitates the whole experience and removes friction for people worldwide to unite and create incredible new solutions. We foster a fast-growing community of AI professionals and early adopters originating from other types of domain expertise.

The LabLab Framework

Together, we are building the best online community and experience for modern artificial intelligence with the purpose of putting innovation on the afterburner.

How we do it:

Events are organized in a friendly but competitive spirit where you will work in teams to innovate with given AI technology as your core. We provide you with insights, boilerplates and domain expertise in the form of mentors.

A

$ Start

Each event will feature a startup presentation viewed via Discord and Twitch. Startup presentation topics include the AI technology we will use, the event schedule, and your questions. Lastly, we try to get you all pumped to build disturbing solutions
B

$ While

During events, we do interviews & talks that are streamed on Twitch. Our platform allows teams to request help from mentors with a push of a button. We also lift in attending teams on Twitch during the event for interviews.
C

$ End

Each event ends with team presentations/pitches that we stream on Twitch. During this session, each team gets 5min to present/showcase their solutions, followed by 5min questions from mentors & audience.

Always in the loop

With LabLab, we want to create the boiler-room for innovation. We do this by attracting talent and lifting in the most game-changing AI technologies and solutions.

No bullshit, just the real deal

Cooperate with leading AI labs and tech organizations to unlock state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technologies. We are interested in industry-changing solutions regardless of it's new approach to Reinforcement Learning or a new API from OpenAI.
