Launch your Bitcoin project at Harvard

We've already given away over $50,000 to builders at our Stacks hackathons this year.

And now, we're headed back to Harvard to host our next Bitcoin Hackathon alongside the amazing Stacks and Hiro teams.

If you're excited about seizing a share of Bitcoin's $1 trillion market value, or you're just interested in learning more about how to build on Bitcoin, make sure you sign up asap for our final Bitcoin hackathon of the year at Harvard.

This is your chance to launch one of Web3's first unicorns on Bitcoin.

Past TanechFund x Stacks hackathon winners haven't just become "hackathon winners". They've evolved into world-class founders, having won follow-on grants to continue building their projects into fully-fledged products with real users.

And past TanechFund hackathon participants have even been funded by a16z, Founders Fund, YC, Polygon Labs and many more top VCs. You could be next.

Make sure you sign up before spots run out!
