Swedish AI unicorn Lovable and accelerator Project Europe have unveiled the winners of their whirlwind hackathon in Stockholm.
GoodOmen, a team of three engineers from London, built two products — a video-generation platform and an AI tool for journalists — in just 20 hours. “Project Lovable” awarded winning teammates Aaron Jones, Giovanni Funchal and Marko Stapfner a €20k cheque for their efforts.
Thrown together in the space of a week, Lovable co-hosted the 90-person hackathon alongside Project Europe, the accelerator aiming to uncover the continent’s next $100bn companies, as well as VC firms 20VC and Creandum.
“It was one of the first times I felt the global maximum existed in one room in Europe. There was not a single person there I wouldn’t have wanted in the room,” co-organiser and Project Europe CEO Kitty Mayo tells Sifted. “The quality of the talent was exceptional.”
The winning team’s AI journalism tool, which can write articles based on interviews at speed, was acquired for €20k on the spot by Impact Loop, a Stockholm-based news publication focused on impact investing and entrepreneurship.
Other participants included a Swedish 15-year-old building a platform to map and compare hydrogen plants, Mayo says, as well as an international team which created an app for real-time annotation of smart glasses data.
Organisers expect to oversee a follow-up hackathon in the coming months.
