01The problem
A well-run hackathon works, but organising one is hard
Companies want tech talent, fresh ideas and closer teams. A hackathon delivers all three, if someone takes care of everything.
- Challenges, platform, mentors, jury and promotion: too many moving parts
- Without a good challenge, nobody signs up
- Hard to find every hackathon in Spain in one place
02What I did and how
From challenge to final report
A company does not want to organise a hackathon: it wants talent, ideas or a closer team. So we offer packaged formats for each goal and use content to get companies to find us.
-
Three formats
One for universities, one for hiring and one for team building, in person or online. Each company chooses by goal, not by logistics.
-
Done for you or do it yourself
Full organisation starts at 1,500 EUR. For those who would rather do it themselves, a guide with the whole method from 349 EUR.
-
The calendar as a magnet
We keep an archive of 243 hackathons held in Spain since 2013. It attracts participants and companies looking for hackathons, which is exactly the audience that can hire us.
-
Video case studies
Nine documented cases, from Vueling to Hack2Progress, with figures on participants, teams and prizes. It is the proof that the format works.
What I learned
-
Niche content attracts clients better than an ad.
-
A do-it-yourself version opens the door to those who cannot pay for the full service yet.
