HackBase replaces the seven tools you're currently stitching together to run a hackathon. Registration, teams, submissions, judging, payouts — one platform.

Name your hackathon, define tracks with prizes, set judging criteria and weights, choose a timeline. The wizard handles structure — you provide the vision.
Your hackathon page goes live on the public directory. Builders discover it, register with one click, and indicate whether they need a team.
The team board connects builders by skill. Teams form, projects develop iteratively — drafts save automatically, final submissions lock at deadline.
Judges see one submission at a time with your rubric. Scores aggregate. Results publish. Prize funds, held in escrow, distribute to winners automatically.
For organisers & builders
Registration count, team formation rate, submission rate (the only metric that matters), judging progress, and prize status — live.
Solo builders post their skills and what they are looking for. Open teams list their gaps. No Discord, no DMs, no matchmaking spreadsheet.
You define criteria with weights. Judges score one project at a time. If there is a conflict of interest, they recuse. Scores aggregate automatically.
Teams save drafts early and refine over the hack period. Demo link, repo, video, pitch deck — all structured. Final submit locks at deadline.
The prize pool is funded before the hackathon publishes — a hard requirement. Winners claim via crypto wallet or bank transfer. Unclaimed prizes revert after 90 days.
Define exactly what information you need from builders. No external form. Confirmation emails are automatic. Data stays in one place.
Set up tracks, define judging criteria, fund the prize pool. Builders start registering in under 20 minutes.
