OpenAI x January Capital x Lyra x Relevance AI Hackathon

Three days to ship a real AI product with OpenAI's latest models, judged by their team and top local founders who know what works.

You'll start with a hands-on demo from OpenAI's developer experience team, then have three full days to build and ship a real product using their latest models and $250 in API credits per person. The judges are OpenAI representatives and top Australian founders who invest in and operate real companies, so they're evaluating for genuine market potential, not just clever code. This is curated to 50 builders across 30 teams, so you're working alongside Sydney's strongest technical founders and AI-native developers. The top prize is $50,000 in OpenAI credits plus a year of ChatGPT Pro, but even if you don't place, you walk away with three months of premium access and actual shipping experience with frontier models.
