AI Hackathon: Sales Copilot AI

Venture Mindset Hackathon - Reinvent Yourself in SF - builders, founders and judges: GSB/MSx, YC ...

⏰ Doors open at 11:00 AM sharp.
🚪 Entry closes at 11:15 AM or once we’re full — come early!

🚀 Join us on January 17 (Sat), 2026 in downtown SF for a one-day Hackathon focused on bold ideas, teamwork, and innovation.

Participants create a clear vision of who they want to become in 10 years — not in a linear way, but in an exponential, ambitious way, similar to how venture investors think about long-term growth.

✨ Why it matters:

GSB/MSx alumni will see how the younger generation learns to think in true Stanford GSB style — with courage, long-term vision, and strategic imagination.

✅ Challenge:
Create the ultimate AI sales copilot!
This hackathon is for developers, product managers, sales engineers, marketers, and AI enthusiasts who want to reinvent how sales teams work using AI.

🔧 Choose the sales pain point you want to solve:

• qualifying and prioritizing leads,

• automating repetitive follow-ups,

• optimizing sales funnels,

• or giving teams real-time AI coaching during calls.

🎯 The main goal is to build a working app or prototype that empowers sales teams, saves time, and drives measurable revenue impact.
