Chinat Yu — Co-Founder
Most hackathons are treated like events. I think they should be treated like systems. I design hackathons that help people become real builders, not just ship demos for a weekend. My work sits at the intersection of AI, learning design, and community building. I care about what happens before the hackathon, during it, and especially after demo day. Currently building MentorMates and experimenting with new models for AI-powered hackathons, mentorship, and builder credentialing.
