Hackathons
2025 Hackathons to be announced!
Continuing to build on the excitement and success behind the high quality projects discovered in our 2024 hackathon, we will offer more hackathons for 2025.
Funding the Commons and Earth Commons joined forces to bring together builders from around the world to develop innovative solutions for public goods funding. This hybrid hackathon, running from October 7 to November 7 2024, offered a collaborative environment where participants could ideate, prototype, and refine their projects, primarily online, with opportunities for in-person collaboration in Bangkok on November 6 and 7.
The event began with an ideation stage, where weekly mini-challenges guide participants in shaping and refining their ideas. These concepts will then advance during the prototype phase, with tracks focusing on areas such as regenerative finance, decentralized governance, and climate innovation. Participants had access to mentorship and workshops to help navigate these challenges.
The aim of the hackathon was to accelerate the development of tools and approaches that could transform our shared resources, fostering collaboration and creativity across a global community.
