Other Benefits
Engage in various workshops tailored to developers and entrepreneurs.These workshops will provide hands-on experience with Algorand's blockchain technology, helping developers deepen their technical skills and leverage the possibility of building smart contracts using Python, while offering entrepreneurs valuable insights on how to build scalable blockchain-based solutions.
Don't worry if you don't have a team. All registrants will have the opportunity to join team formation sessions in order to find suitable members to take their idea to the hackathon final. Fostering collaboration and facilitating introductions amongst registants is extremely important to us as we believe the best startups stem from combination development and entrepreneurial skills.
Participants will receive guidance on how to pitch their ideas effectively, preparing them for the final pitch competition. The event will also foster networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect with like-minded peers, industry experts, mentors, and potential collaborators.
In addition to the vatious prizes, a select few projects will be invited to join the next Algorand incubator cohort. The Algorand Incubator is an eight-week program designed to help you validate your ideas and prepare your team for rapid scaling.
