Impact & numbers
Since AI publishes real numbers with methodology notes. We believe credible ecosystems require transparent metrics. All figures below are current as of April 2026 and updated quarterly.
Our numbers
| Metric | Current value | Methodology note |
|---|---|---|
| AI builders in our network across Europe | 10,000+ | Includes direct community members (Discord, newsletter, Medium), hackathon attendees (past and registered), and verified reach across partner AI communities in Europe. Not membership — reach. |
| Direct community members | 1,000+ | Active members in our core Discord community. Figure from Discord server analytics. |
| Hackathon builders to date | 260 | Cumulative builders across all Since AI events. Since AI Hackathon, Nov 21–23 2025, EduCity, Turku: 260 builders. Exact figure, not rounded. |
| Hackathon 2026 participants targeted | 1,000+ | Target based on venue capacity (Educity, Joukahaisenkatu 7, Turku) and partner challenge scale. Applications open rolling from 2026. |
| Partners & supporters | 30+ | Counted as organizations with a formal partnership role: event sponsorship (challenge partner), ecosystem support (MoU or named collaboration), or capital/research partner. |
| Projects shipped | 30+ | Hackathon and post-hackathon projects with public deliverables — GitHub repositories, live demos, or partner-accepted prototypes. See sinceai.fi/projects for public summaries. |
| Countries represented | 50+ | Via partner community reach, direct applications from Since AI Hackathon 2025, and Discord member analytics. |
What we don't claim
We do not claim formal paid membership, venture-scale funding of Since AI itself, or placement guarantees. Our value is the ecosystem — partners, events, and execution pathways — not a membership database.
Governance and funding
Since AI ry is funded through partner sponsorships, public innovation program support where applicable, and in-kind contributions from ecosystem partners. We are a registered non-profit. Financial statements are available on request to members.
