🚀 Powertrain Cofounder Collider: Meet & Hack
Thursday, October 16, 2025
🕘 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (CDMX)
📍 Expedition FEMSA – Monterrey
Cofounder Collider is not your average networking event. It’s the space where ambitious founders meet their future technical co-founders — to build, hack, and create companies from scratch. If you’re ready to trade your code, design, or get equity and the chance to build something big, this is where you start.
🔥 What to expect:
- Team-building sessions
- Live Hack & Build Jams
- Pitch & Matchmaking rounds
- Networking with builders, dreamers, and early-stage VCs
Who should join:
- Technical founders with a hunger to build
- Business/vision founders looking for partners
- Designers and product thinkers ready to co-create
💡 Arrive with ideas. Leave as a co-founder.
The Event
💡 Want to be a technical co-founder and looking to join a high-potential startup?
Listen to the pitches! Join the Hacker Team for a day, collaborating with each of the startups represented by top founders creating the next wave of tech titans in this hackathon-meets-coworking-day event.
Launching and creating a successful startup is a process that can be learned according to the Lean Startup methodology (and a lot of work!). Put these strategic principles into practice by turning them into a functional app– even if you don’t have a programming background! Participate in the workshops and launch an MVP in one day.
Collaborate for a day with these disruptive entrepreneurs and –perhaps– you’ll also be part of the new wave of Latam unicorns.
🚀 What we will do
- Pitches: Listen to the real-world challenges our entrepreneurs face in acceleration and incubation programs at Powertrain Ventures.
- Workshops: Make progress on your pending tasks and find support among other founders.
- Collaborate to create an MVP: You’ll join the Hacker Team of a real startup looking to connect with talent to spark its growth.
- Connections between entrepreneurs: Share learnings, challenges, and wins without formalities.
- “Unconference” sessions: An open space for conversations and peer-to-peer feedback.
- Community moments: Coffee, lunch, and even a relaxed closing to celebrate.
