About the challenge:

FoundersHack isn't your traditional hackathon. 

FoundersHack is a 72 hour startup focused hackathon aimed to create a launchpad for student founders and aspring entrepreneurs to ideate, build and test their ideas in a fast-paced setting.
To make the hackathon more meaningful, we have set up two precursor workshops to boost your understanding and confidence when it comes to problem validation and prototyping, succesfully preparing you for a real-life setting of pitching ideas to investors.

Workshop 1: Problem Validation (4th August)
Workshop 2: Prototyping (7th August)
Opening ceremony: 14th August
Closing ceremony: 27th August
