Camel Hack was founded to inspire unity among founders. Fittingly, the theme of our first hackathon is community. By recognizing the unique strengths of each participant, we aim to foster deep collaboration among the world's most talented builders—cultivating groundbreaking innovation at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI, and biotech.
