Sponsors Needed: OC Hack-a-thon 2026, by Friends of Figma
Sat, May 16 · 10:00 AM PDT
Back Bay Conference Center, 3415 Michelson Dr, Irvine, CA, US
Quick update on Hack OC and where things stand:
- Our website is currently under construction at hackoc.com — you can join the waitlist or submit an interest form there if you haven’t already.
- The plan is to launch a custom crowdfunding site by the end of winter with a goal of raising $8,000 to support venue, food, supplies, and prizes.
- The faster we fundraise, the sooner we’ll be able to lock in dates and make the event happen.
### Note: This is NOT the official event page. This is a request for sponsorship.

We’re bringing together developers, designers, and business minds to form teams, build prototypes, and pitch new product or business ideas — all in one high-energy weekend. Mentors and judges will guide the process, and participants will leave with portfolio-worthy projects.

💡 We’re seeking local sponsors and partners to help make this possible!
Support needed for:
- Catering
- Event space
- Supplies
About: Over the course of the event, participants will form cross-functional teams — each with at least 1 developer, 1 designer, and 1 business/PM role — and work side by side to brainstorm, build, and pitch a product or business idea.

Mentors will be on hand to provide guidance, and the weekend will conclude with presentations to a panel of judges, giving participants the chance to showcase their work, receive feedback, and potentially walk away with prizes.

💡 Whether you’re looking to grow your skills, add to your portfolio/resume, or simply collaborate with talented peers, this event is designed to be productive, collaborative, and fun.
