黑客马拉松不够,创业加速器又过于繁琐。因此,我们创建了“试验场”。
我在初创企业与企业采用的交汇点上工作了多年——帮助新技术进入大公司,并观察哪些真正能够扩展。<p>我发现一个问题:黑客马拉松很有趣,但太多的周末演示因为没有人知道他们是否在构建真正可行或可融资的东西而夭折。<p>因此,我们创建了*Proving Ground*——一个为期72小时的“初创企业冲刺”,适应AI时代:<p>• 在3天内构建或发布一个真实的功能
• 立即与真实用户进行测试
• 评委根据市场需求(Pull)、交付速度(Momentum)和团队契合度(Team Fit)进行评分
• 我们跟踪接下来的发展——谁继续构建,谁获得融资<p>例如:最近的冲刺团队已经受邀参加500 Global,并正在进行种子轮融资。<p>下一个冲刺将在10月17日至19日在湾区举行。对任何构建者开放——没有邀请门槛,只需证明。
https://lu.ma/startupsprint<p>想知道HN的看法:这是否解决了黑客马拉松所缺失的问题?如果你在验证一个新的AI创意,你会参加吗?

I’ve spent years at the edge where startups meet enterprise adoption — helping new tech break into big companies and watching what actually scales.<p>One thing I kept seeing: hackathons are fun, but too many weekend demos die because no one knows if they’re building something real or fundable.<p>So we built *Proving Ground* — a 72-hour “startup sprint” for the AI era:<p>• Build or ship a real feature in 3 days
• Test with real users immediately
• Judges score on Pull (market demand), Momentum (shipping speed), and Team Fit (domain know-how)
• We track what happens next — who keeps building and who raises<p>Example: teams from recent sprints have already been invited to 500 Global and are raising seed rounds.<p>Next sprint is Oct 17–19 in the Bay Area. Open to any builder — no invite hoops, just proof.
https://lu.ma/startupsprint<p>Curious what HN thinks: does this solve what hackathons miss? Would you join if you were validating a new AI idea?
