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
What a company wants from a hackathon is 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 the format by what it wants to achieve.
-
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.
-
A calendar of every hackathon
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.
What I learned
-
The hackathon calendar brings us companies looking to run one, without paying for ads.
-
A do-it-yourself version opens the door to those who cannot pay for the full service yet.
