Next sprint · Basel, November 2026
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.
The companies behind our sprints
“We deliberately set the bar high. We wanted to go beyond a prototype and build something an estimator could actually work with. What the teams managed to build in just 36 hours went beyond our expectations.”
It's a hackathon, run properly.
You bring a real problem. Curated teams compete to solve it. You leave with things that work.
01You
Bring a problem
You bring a real challenge worth solving. We sharpen the framing with you before the event.
02The weekend
Teams compete
Over 36 hours, curated teams build against your problem in parallel. It is a competition, and it shows in what they ship.
03The result
Leave with prototypes
You walk away with working prototypes, fresh approaches, and features worth pursuing. Come back to iterate.
Four ways into a sprint.
Companies.
Bring a real problem.
Your challenge, 36 hours, teams building in parallel. You leave with working prototypes, people you want to hire and a story worth telling.
Builders.
Build on problems that matter.
Developers, designers, domain experts. Free to enter, food and a mattress included, and one profile gets you into every sprint.
Mentors.
Lend your experience for a weekend.
Walk the tables, ask the hard questions and help teams sharpen what they built before the jury sees it.
Communities.
Bring your people.
Student groups, clubs and networks that send their members. Campus Leaders bring sprintd to their university.
One platform for the whole sprint.
Applications, teams, mentors, check-in, judging and results in one place, and a home for communities long after the weekend. We run our own sprints on it, and you can run yours.
