Bring your hardest problem. Leave with solutions that work.
sprintd runs innovation sprints where Switzerland's sharpest builders take on a real corporate problem and ship working solutions in a weekend. Not a slide deck. Things that actually run.
Why we exist
We started sprintd to close the gap between a great weekend and a real result.
We ran some of Switzerland's biggest student hackathons. Every time, the same thing happened: teams built incredible things in 36 hours, the energy was unreal, and then most of it went nowhere. Great ideas, no path to the real world.
That gap is the whole reason sprintd exists. We want companies to turn real problems into things that ship, and we want builders to spend their weekends on problems that actually matter. That is what we are building, and why.
And we do it because we love it. A sprint is an unreal weekend: pure energy, sharp people, and the adrenaline of building something real against the clock. You do things you would never get to in a lecture hall, meet people you would never have met, and leave with something whether you win or not. That is the energy we want to give back to. We are enablers, here to open it up for builders and companies alike.
How it works
It's a hackathon, run properly.
You bring a real problem. Curated teams compete to solve it. You leave with things that work.
Bring a problem
You
You bring a real challenge worth solving. We sharpen the framing with you before the event.
Teams compete
The weekend
Over 36 hours, curated teams build against your problem in parallel. It is a competition, and it shows in what they ship.
Leave with prototypes
The result
You walk away with working prototypes, fresh approaches, and features worth pursuing. Come back to iterate.
The platform
Coming soonThe platform to run it all
sprintd is more than one event. We're building the platform for innovation sprints, hackathons, and the communities around them. Run an event end to end, manage challenges and teams, and keep builders connected long after the weekend.
- Run sprints and hackathons end to end
- Challenges, teams, and judging in one place
- A community that lives between events
