Pulse Foundry Miami is a growing community open to students, founders, developers, and professionals interested in building real-world AI solutions together. Whether this is your first hackathon or you’ve attended many before, this event is designed to support learning through hands-on collaboration.

During this hackathon, participants will work directly with MaRe, a Miami-based health and wellness business, to build AI-enabled solutions addressing real operational challenges faced by local businesses. This is an opportunity to apply practical AI development skills while collaborating with builders across the South Florida innovation community.

Participants will collaborate in interdisciplinary teams to design and prototype AI-enabled solutions responding to real-world business needs. Selected winning teams will have the opportunity to consult with MaRe and other local business partners following the event.

We are also excited to welcome guest mentors joining the event:

Mitchell Itkin, Pulse Foundry co-founder and lead of the Pulse Foundry NYC community, bringing experience from his work as former Head of Business Development at Cadre AI, supporting organizations building AI solutions tied to measurable business outcomes.

Fifi Siddiqui, founder of Maxed, currently completing a residency at The LAB Miami, where she is building software solutions for accounting and professional service firms.

This event is sponsored by Vercel, which will provide platform credits for participants to support project development during the hackathon. Food and refreshments will also be provided.

The event is open to students, developers, founders, and professionals from all backgrounds. No prior hackathon experience is required.
