Build with Gemini XPRIZE
XPRIZE
ABOUT THE GRANT
The Build with Gemini XPRIZE is a 90-day hackathon that awards $2 million in total prize money across 25 winners to entrepreneurs, teams, and small organizations who build a real AI-powered business during the competition window. Sponsored by XPRIZE and powered by Google, with administrative support from Devpost, the competition was launched at Google I/O and challenges entrants to pick a problem worth solving, launch a real business, acquire real users, and generate real revenue within a 90-day window, all while running their business operations through AI.
Submissions must fall within one of five categories: Education and Human Potential, Entrepreneurship and Job Creation, Small Business Services, Money and Financial Access, and Professional Services Access. Each project must use at least one Google Cloud product, and any project incorporating large language model functionality must use the Gemini API for at least one LLM call in the deployed application.
The prize pool is structured into a 1st place award of $500,000, a 2nd place award of $200,000, three awards of $100,000 each for 3rd through 5th place, fifteen Runner-Up awards of $50,000 each, and five Category Prizes of $50,000 each (one per category). The competition is open to individuals who are at least the age of majority where they reside, teams of eligible individuals, and small organizations with fewer than 25 employees (including corporations, nonprofits, LLCs, and partnerships). Residents of countries restricted by U.S. law (including Russia, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea) are not eligible. Submissions are judged on three equally weighted criteria: business viability (actual revenue achieved during the 90-day window and the sustainability of the business model), AI-native operations (the extent to which AI is live in production running key business decisions), and category impact (whether the project meaningfully moves the needle in its chosen category).
