Hackathon Showcase

Take your project back to the spotlight in our 1-hour livestream on YouTube and X. Selected teams get 5 minutes to pitch + demo their build, gain visibility across Algorand channels, collect feedback, and unlock a guaranteed 1:1 mentoring pass ahead of the $125K Startup Challenge. Open to all hackathon submissions — winners and non-winners alike.

What's planned for after the hackathon?

You may be wondering what’s next after the hackathon? These hackathons are also a launchpad for the Algorand Startup Challenges — our 6‑week flagship program for builders kicking off in early October. Successful projects will have the chance to compete for a $125,000 prize pool and receive mentorship to take their ideas from prototype to impact.

This program is your perfect preparation pillar — build your team, validate your concept, and get ready to scale in the next stage.
