DevHouse SF is a 7-day immersive builder residency in the heart of San Francisco, bringing together 100 of the most ambitious student founders, engineers, product thinkers, and hackers. Participants choose a problem statement from one of our partner companies and spend the week building a real product, prototype, or system based on that track.

This is not a typical hackathon.
It is a concentrated, high-agency sprint where builders ship meaningful solutions, work closely with industry partners, and end the week pitching in front of founders, operators, and investors.

Your goal: Build something real, solve a track challenge, and present it with conviction on Demo Day.


Requirements

Build a functional prototype that directly solves the challenge provided by your chosen sponsor track.

This can be:
• a full-stack product
• a hardware-software hybrid
• an AI/ML system
• a mobile or web app
• an infrastructure/tooling project
• an algorithmic or data-driven system

What matters is executiontechnical depthclarity of solution, and alignment with your chosen track.

Projects must be fully developed during the DevHouse SF event week.

All submissions must include:

  1. A Loom demo video (2–4 minutes) explaining:
    • the problem
    • your solution
    • how it works
    • what you built during the week

  2. Link to your GitHub repository (public or private with access granted).

  3. A short Devpost write-up, including:
    • problem you tackled
    • approach and architecture
    • tech stack
    • demo screenshots
    • impact and next steps

  4. Track selected (Omi, AirGarage, Browserbase, Supermemory).
