We work with leading companies in AI, data, software and infrastructure. Your program arrives with that network behind it: credits, tools and technical support for participating teams, and a community already building with these companies.

We are building partnerships with local governments, universities, communities and companies beyond Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Tell us what you would like to build together.
Send a written request with your goal, city and timing. We reply within two business days. A program starts with a discovery of about two weeks, then design, operation on the ground and a final report against the KPIs agreed at the start.

A fintech entering Mexico needs an organizer with local developers, universities and institutions already in the room. Mobil3 organizes hackathons in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, works with more than 15 universities, and adds go-to-market support: local context, introductions and a launch plan, often combined with events and university programs.
Direct access to the developers and companies in the room, a challenge or bounty built around the sponsor's product, mentors and judges from the sponsor's team, and a results report after demo day. The 2025 Mexico City hackathon was co-hosted with the Monad Foundation, with 644 check-ins and participants from 12 countries.
Mobil3 is a developer program company. Companies that would hire a developer program agency or a DevRel agency hire Mobil3 to get developers in Mexico using their product: workshops, credits, starter kits, office hours and project showcases, at universities and communities in three cities, with adoption reported at the end.
A corporate hackathon is a time-boxed building program where teams ship working prototypes against a challenge set by a company, with a published rubric, mentors, judges and a demo day. Mobil3 organizes corporate hackathons in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, open to the company's own teams or to outside developers, students and founders, and reports what each team built.
A hackathon gives a company working prototypes for a problem it defines, direct contact with the developers, students and founders who build them, and an early look at which teams keep building. Mobil3 agrees the goal, audience and KPIs before the program starts and, after demo day, reports who took part and what each team built.
Plan 8 to 12 weeks when you recruit through universities and institutions. Mobil3 runs it in four steps: discovery of the goal and audience, design of the challenge, rubric, KPIs and deliverables, operation on the ground with recruitment, mentors, judges and demo day, and a written report of who took part and what was built.
Tell us what you want to achieve and we reply within two business days with a proposal, a referral or a clear no.
