The competition. A hackathon run by ITBA.

HackITBA is the hackathon of the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology (ITBA). The brief: build a software product from scratch, from the idea to a working prototype.

The 2026 edition had 48 teams of four —192 people— with 36 hours to build it.

The project: NextHit. Built end to end during the competition.

NextHit predicts how a marketing video will perform before it's published. It simulates an audience with AI and pinpoints the exact second people stop watching.

That way whoever makes an ad can fix the video before paying to show it, instead of finding out after the money is spent.

The pitch to the jury.

The final.

We made the final and pitched to a technical, investor and business jury, finishing second on the global leaderboard. It's the same way we work with every client: understand the problem fast and have something working to show.

Does any of these look like what you need?

Half an hour, free, to understand what you need. If we can build it, you leave the call with the scope, the timeline and the price; if we can't, we tell you right there.
