For universities

Give students real problems, and give industry a reason to come to campus.

A university can champion a hackathon. You bring the students and the labs. We bring the sponsors and run the event.

Own a theme in your area of strength and bring your people.

Students ship work for real sponsors and present it to industry judges.

Your faculty meet companies that have the problem and the budget.

Sponsors who scout talent meet your students while they work.

Ways to plug in

Pick a format.

Also on the floor

Meet founders before they write a pitch deck.

Open public problems to the people who can fix them.

Lend a venue, credits or a community to keep events running.

Judge, mentor or host a hackathon in your field.
