Show IH: Hundreds of founders launching startups on Twitch right now

The 24 Hour Startup Challenge

Heya!

I’m Armin, part of the team behind the 24 Hour Startup Challenge!

Over this weekend, there are over 300 founders building products live on Twitch in 24 hours. As I post this, there are almost 90 people live streaming their work from all over the world! You can watch them on 24hrstartup.com.

The idea behind this live-streamed hackathon event comes from Pat Walls. He challenged himself to do a 24-hour startup twice this year and live-streamed his process. He is currently moderating and interviewing people from the maker community in our main stream.

Initially, we planned for about 50 participants but were overwhelmed with sign-ups. People are motivated to do this, and you can see that in their streams! We think it’s great to watch everyone make their crazy ideas reality, so we wanted to share :)

A few products being built right now:

• Heartbeat Canvas - Generate art from your heartbeat
• Privacy First Products - A curated list where you can discuss privacy first products
• EpilepsyBlocker - Disable GIFs that may cause epilepsy

Let us know what you think!
Armin (& Melanie & Pat)
