about (rev)olve
why hack at (rev)olve?

(rev)olve is Rev's first hackathon, a 48-hour intensive event where 150-200 builders from top institutions come together to create, collaborate, and compete. Built by a community that has sent 6 alumni to Y Combinator, this isn't your typical hackathon. We're looking for developers who ship and are ready to display their skills on a premier stage.


You'll get access to sponsors like Modal, Exa, and YC startups looking to find, hire, and fund top talent. Our participants aren't just coders. They're founders, designers, and builders who ship real products. Whether you're into robotics, RL, foundational compute, or interactive media, Revolve is where ideas become reality.
