Aethra

Aethra is an organisation that runs interdisciplinary hackathons and other events. I co-founded it in July 2025 and ran its first six events with my co-founder, handling marketing, operations and logistics. Every event pairs two fields. Gamethon, for example, pairs game design with engineering.

There are seven programmes: Ideathon, Moonshot, Hackathon, Vibeathon, Pitchathon, Brandathon and Gamethon. Prize pools grew from about $12K to more than $45K across them. Across 84 countries, the seven events drew 2,340 participants, who shipped 699 projects, and raised $45,752 in prizes.

Moonshot, in 2026, was our first interdisciplinary event and our biggest yet: 636 participants and more than $33,232 in prizes.

I built the Discord community to more than 250 members, and I now lead the 42-member team as solo founder.
