c0mpiled-15 wrapped

Seven hours of building at Penn State, two tracks, $10,000+ in prizes.

On Sunday, October 11, we hosted c0mpiled-15 in the Engineering Design & Innovation Building at Penn State.

Builders had seven hours and two tracks:

  • Build with AI, with Transpose Platform: a self-improving agent team with Luminal, or a Y Combinator Request for Startups.
  • Build. Validate. Sell., with Engineering Entrepreneurship: find a real problem, build the product, and make actual sales during the hackathon.

Thanks to everyone who came out to build, and to the sponsors who put up $10,000+ in prizes.
