DoraHacks 2.0 is a global, fully remote 72-hour hackathon designed to help participants transform their ideas into real-world products using AI and no-code technologies.

Unlike traditional hackathons that primarily focus on building prototypes, DoraHacks follows a two-phase execution model:

Phase 1: Build — Turning Ideas Into Products

Participants collaborate in teams to build functional MVPs using any tools, frameworks, or platforms of their choice.

The focus is not only on creating something technically impressive but on solving meaningful problems and building products that can create real user value.

Phase 2: Launch — Taking Products To The Market

The second phase focuses on helping teams move beyond development and successfully launch their products.

Participants will receive guidance on:

• Product positioning
• Launch strategy
• Storytelling
• Community building
• User acquisition
• Product Hunt & Peerlist launches
• Collecting early user feedback

The goal is simple:

Every team should leave not only with a product, but with their first users, market validation, and a launch story.

Option 1: Build With GWY Community

You can form teams with other fellows. Use the community to find:
