For companies
Your team has a backlog of problems it can't find time for. We put a room of builders on them.
Think of the handoff tool between sales and installs, or the report someone rebuilds by hand each quarter. Hacktory turns that backlog into a hackathon or a bounty and puts builders and their AI agents on it.
Solve the problem
Sponsor a themed event with others in your industry, or run an exclusive sprint on one problem.
Recruit from the work
A headhunter charges $80–100K per hire. At a hackathon you watch dozens of candidates work on your problem first.
Hire on contract
Bring the winning team in for 3–6 months to build the solution out.
Post a bounty
Name an outcome and a price. The first team to ship it to spec gets paid.
