10x Hackathon Winner Reveals the Fail-Proof System That Wins Every Time.
Natalie is not the best coder in the room. She will be the first to tell you that but she keeps winning hackathons, going viral on LinkedIn, and building things that nobody else sees coming.
In this episode, Natalie breaks down the exact process behind winning hackathons, navigating male-dominated AI spaces as a young woman, and why the tools available right now mean that almost anyone can build something extraordinary.
In this episode, we cover:
The step by step process Natalie uses to win hackathons, and why being the best coder is not the point
How to find out what judges actually want before you build anything
Why solo hackathon entries are becoming more viable than team ones in the current era of AI tools
How she won the Perplexity Hackathon solo and walked away with five thousand pounds in cash
What Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex actually look like in a real workflow
How to use AI sub-agents as employees and delegate tasks the way you would to a team
Why the fastest way to get good at AI tools is to fail with as many of them as possible
The moment a stranger at a hackathon told her she could never be a founder, and what she did next
What it is really like being a woman in AI-dominated spaces and how she keeps showing up anyway
Why code security is being ignored in the race for speed, and what the real dangers are
How to write LinkedIn posts that catch the algorithm in the first hour
What building a winning hackathon project actually looks like.
Why she is going all in on 3D and spatial AI after she graduates
Whether you are a student, an aspiring founder, or someone who has ever felt like they do not belong in a room, this episode will change how you think about what is possible right now.
