AI Hackathon: Sales Copilot AI

about this event

Venture Mindset Hackathon - Reinvent Yourself in SF - builders, founders and judges: GSB/MSx, YC ...

⏰ Doors open at 11:00 AM sharp. 🚪 Entry closes at 11:15 AM or once we're full — come early! 🚀 Join us on January 17 (Sat), 2026 in downtown SF for a one-day Hackathon focused on bold ideas, teamwork, and innovation. Participants create a clear vision of who they want to become in 10 years — not in a linear way, but in an exponential, ambitious way, similar to how venture investors think about long-term growth.

✨ Why it matters: GSB/MSx alumni will see how the younger generation learns to think in true Stanford GSB style — with courage, long-term vision, and strategic imagination.

✅ Challenge: Create the ultimate AI sales copilot! This hackathon is for developers, product managers, sales engineers, marketers, and AI enthusiasts who want to reinvent how sales teams work using AI. 🔧 Choose the sales pain point you want to solve: qualifying and prioritizing leads, automating repetitive follow-ups, optimizing sales funnels, or giving teams real-time AI coaching during calls. 🎯 The main goal is to build a working app or prototype that empowers sales teams, saves time, and drives measurable revenue impact.
