A league for shippers.
Join 25,000+ senior engineers, founders, and open-source maintainers. Form squads. Take briefings. Ship in the open.
01
Live events every week
Hackathons, jams, agent battles, workshops — in SF, NYC, London, Berlin, and remote.
02
Cloud IDE, zero setup
SDKs preloaded, containers warm, judges watching your diffs in real time.
03
Ranked standings
Every submission gets an ELO delta. Finish the season with a real number attached to your name.
// for_businessesSchedule a strategy call →
Stop chasing developers.
Your SDK deserves more than a booth. Get your tool into the hands of builders who ship — and get the telemetry to prove it.
01
Authentic dev access
25,000+ builders. Zero tourists. Senior engineers, founders, OSS maintainers.
02
Integration telemetry
APIs called, projects built, recruiting conversations logged. Post-event report in 48h.
03
Turnkey operations
Venue, catering, registration, judges, streaming. Your team shows up with the SDK and the swag.
Developer marketing, rewritten
The old GTM is a badge scan.
// THE OLD WAY
- Sponsor a conference, get a booth, collect badge scans, hope someone remembers you.
- Host a webinar. 20% show up. 5% engage. Zero integrations shipped.
- Run your own hackathon. Six months planning. Massive overhead. One-time event.
- DevRel team stretched thin chasing vanity metrics. Your competitors ship integrations.
// THE NEW WAY
- Run or join an event, 150 devs building, your API in their hands, projects shipped tonight.
- Cloud IDE pre-loaded with your SDK. Zero setup friction. Coding in minutes, not hours.
- Real-time developer feedback. Actionable insights. Know what builders think of your product.
- Your leads, your pipeline, your community — captured and attributed to your event.
HackerSquad IDE
Cloud IDE. Warm containers, preloaded SDKs, zero install.

“I pulled every project from the event and evaluated them based on their GitHub repos — then gave each team a shout-out on LinkedIn, because they actually used Contextual in their code base. 👍”
