Day 3 of our hackathon and a solo builder already has a paying customer!

→ found an indie game on Steam
→ rebuilt its Steam page
→ emailed the studio a free preview
→ they paid

He’s set to take “First Sale” prize, sponsored by @Replit

Holy cow, so based on OpenAI's UK filings, average salary in 2025 was £794k and £1.52m share based compensation on top of that.

So the total was £2.35m = $3.1m per employee

Cool idea for a hackathon. The traditional concept of a 'venture' itself will probably soon be obsolete. Rather, we might have autonomous venture factories. https://t.co/fHwMT9ocro

@musalbas we'll see you there!

Can an AI improve ad decisions?

That’s the challenge we’ve set students at the @UniofStaffs

Over 4 weeks, they’ll build an AI assistant that analyses daily ad reports and decides: scale, refresh or pause.

What Shipyard brings:
→ Mentorship from our team
→ 2 months of real campaign data + human decisions
→ Workshops and guidance

Findings published in October.
