About
At the heart of Major League Hacking (MLH) is a vibrant culture dedicated to empowering the next generation of technologists. Founded in 2013, MLH has grown from a small group of passionate hackers into a global movement that supports over 500,000 developers worldwide. We believe in the power of 'learning by doing,' a philosophy that permeates every hackathon, workshop, and fellowship program we organize. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide students with the resources, mentorship, and community they need to turn their crazy ideas into reality. We are more than just a company; we are a community-first organization. As a Certified B Corporation, we are legally committed to prioritizing the impact of our decisions on our community, not just our shareholders. This commitment is reflected in our core values, which emphasize inclusivity, education, and the democratization of technology. Whether it's through our flagship Hackathon League, which powers over 200 weekend-long invention competitions annually, or the MLH Fellowship, a remote internship alternative that pairs aspiring engineers with open-source projects, we are constantly seeking new ways to serve our hackers. Our team is a diverse group of former hackers, organizers, and industry veterans who share a deep love for the hacker community. We foster a collaborative and flexible work environment where every team member is encouraged to 'take out the trash'—a metaphor for our willingness to do whatever it takes to support our community and each other. From our headquarters in New York City to our remote team members around the globe, we are united by a shared passion for technology and a drive to make the world a better place, one hack at a time. Join us in our mission to empower hackers and shape the future of technology.
