WE Make Trouble is a community-driven hackathon to help women-identified founders accelerate their business and inclusive tech talent work on impactful ideas. Over one high-energy weekend in Amsterdam, founders and skill owners come together to turn bold ideas into tangible next steps, prototypes, strategies, MVPs, or validated directions. The hackathon is part of a broader series of community events designed to spark connection, learning, and long-term collaboration beyond the weekend.
