Hackathons

Note: The Hackathon platform is currently undergoing final testing and will launch in the coming weeks.

This is your chance to spot promising projects before anyone else. Discover and support builders on Pond from day one—and follow their journey as they grow. When you believe in a founder, their vision, and their technology, cast your vote on our hackathon platform.

Projects selected by you, the organizer, and Pond will have the opportunity to launch their hackathon project—or a new product—on Markets, with ongoing support and acceleration from us.

Your vote matters. Be the first to back the next breakout founder.
