Give(a)Go: Hiring Hackathon
We flipped hiring.
Startups pitch to recruit you.
Forget CVs and long applications.
Show what you can build in a day
Land interviews on the spot! + cash prizes (not just credits)!
For all details and registration go to www.giveago.co/rsvp/hiring-hackathon
***
On 7th March, the founders and senior engineers from Otel, Kota and Lette are spending the full day with builders like you.
These aren’t recruiters with clipboards.
These are the people who decide who gets hired, what gets built next, and how the company moves.
- THOUSANDS of euros in cash prizes $$$
- A fast track straight to the founders and decision makers**.** No application. No recruiter screen. No three-month loop.
- Building with some of the best in the city
This is what hiring should look like.

Women Who Build
TBC-check description, TBC-check description ,, Dublin, IEOn 14th March, we’re spending the day building. Portfolios. Personal sites. Tools. Side projects. Anything you’ve been meaning to make but kept putting off because it felt too technical.
The tool is Lovable: describe what you want, and watch it appear. No syntax. No Stack Overflow. No, asking a developer friend for a favour.
Bring a laptop. Bring an idea. Better yet, bring a friend.
This is a beginner-friendly event, no prior experience needed - All Skill levels welcomePLEASE REGISTER ON this link to get entry: https://giveago.co/register/women-builders
## What you could build
A portfolio that actually shows who you are and what you do. A landing page for a project or business you’ve been sitting on. A tool that solves something annoying in your life. A website for a community, a cause, or something completely personal. Whatever you’ve been thinking about building, this is the day.
This event is celebrating Women in tech, however everyone is welcome!
PLEASE REGISTER ON this link to get entry: https://giveago.co/register/women-builders
## What the day looks like
🕙 11:00 AM Doors open at Baseline, coffee and settling in
⚙️ 11:30 AM Intro to Lovable and what’s possible
🚀 12:00 PM Build time
🍕 1:00 PM Lunch and conversation
🛠️ 1:30 PM Back to building
🖥️ 3:00 PM Show and tell: share what you made
🔚 3:30 PM Close
No experience needed. No pressure to have a polished idea before you arrive. The only requirement is showing up.## Our Supporter
Lovable: Lovable is the AI-powered app builder that lets you create fully functional websites and apps just by describing what you want. You will get a free month of Lovable Pro to every attendee on the day.

Daytona x Give(a)Go HackSprint
TBC-check description, TBC-check description ,, Dublin, IE🚀 A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes
Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it.
A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable.
Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds.
That changes what is possible.Registeration required on luma page.
Please register here to confirm your post: www.giveago.co/register/hackspringOn March 28th, we are bringing together Dublin’s most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems.
***
# 🧠 What You Will Build
Design AI agents that demonstrate
- Sharp reasoning
- Independent decision making
- Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments
- Real world impact
A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly.
This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production.
If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.
✨ Every builder receives Daytona credits.
🏆 Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute.***

## Project Ideas:
- Self-Evolving Agent
Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems. - Parallel coding agents with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast.
- Research pipelines that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another.
- Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab
Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes.
Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models.

## About Daytona
Daytona: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution.
Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today.## Venue Partner
**Baseline**: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland. They write €100K first checks to technical founders, backed entirely by private investors. Looking for your first check? these are the people to be in a room with.
