Momen Joins SF Hacks 2025 — Empowering Students to Build AI Apps Without Code

From April 4 to April 7, 2025, Momen proudly joined SF Hacks 2025 at San Francisco State University as an official partner. Yaokai Jiang, founder of Momen, brought no-code technology to the hackathon community — helping students turn their ideas into real products faster and easier.

What is SF Hacks?

SF Hacks is one of San Francisco’s biggest student-run hackathons, hosted annually at San Francisco State University. This year’s theme — Tech for Good — brought together hundreds of students, developers, and creators for a weekend of rapid innovation.

Over 48 hours, teams collaborated to design, prototype, and build projects that could make a positive impact on the world.

What is Momen?

Momen is a no-code platform for building full-stack, AI-powered apps — without writing a single line of code.

Designed for makers, founders, and teams, Momen helps users build apps, including SaaS products, AI tools,faster — with an intuitive front end, built-in backend, AI agent builder, and workflow automation.

In a fast-paced hackathon setting, Momen offers a great solution: quick to learn, easy to build with, and powerful enough to turn early ideas into real prototypes — even for beginners with no coding background.

As an official partner, Momen provided tools, education, and mentorship to help students bring their ideas to life.

Yaokai hosted a beginner-friendly workshop, "Build AI Apps Without Code," showing students step-by-step how to create their own product using Momen — no technical skills required.

Throughout the weekend, the Momen booth featured live demos, use case examples, and one-on-one guidance for students exploring no-code solutions. To help them keep building after the hackathon, Momen also offered $100 in platform credits to all participants.

Many students and educators stopped by to learn more about how Momen could help them prototype faster and experiment with AI — without needing to be developers.

Why No-Code Matters for Hackathons

Hackathons are about speed, creativity, and turning ideas into reality. No-code platforms like Momen lower the barrier for entry, allowing more students and first-time builders to participate meaningfully.

For non-technical founders or early-stage teams, no-code provides the freedom to focus on solving problems and testing ideas — without getting stuck on technical hurdles.

At the end of the day, hackathons are about building — and no-code makes building more accessible for everyone.

Looking Ahead

Momen is excited to continue supporting student builders, creators, and entrepreneurs at future hackathons, workshops, and events.
