how it works

four steps, then it runs itself.

the only two moments that need you are writing the brief and picking the winner.

01

verify your company

a company email domain check and a short profile — name, industry, logo, whether you are hiring.

you@yourcompany.com
02

pick a format and post

choose flash, sprint or mini hackathon, write the brief — or let challenge builder draft it — and set the prize or recognition on offer.

flash2–4 hrs · ₹3,000
sprint24–48 hrs · ₹6,000
mini hackathon3–7 days · ₹10,000
03

pay the listing fee and go live

your challenge is visible to students instantly. the fee buys access to the pool and the scoring machinery — no outcome is promised.

deeper engagement, when you want it

ai-assisted, not ai-decided

two places ai helps. neither one is the decision.

built to cut time-to-decision, not to make the decision for you. here is exactly what each part does.

before you publishyou publish manually

challenge builder

turns a rough title and an idea into a clear, student-facing brief. it asks for the details students always need and companies always forget.

you typed

“checkout is leaking, fix it”

suggesting what is missing
what a winning submission looks like
a named root cause, the corrected flow, one metric to watch
submission format
3 screens plus 150 words — capped so thinking is what gets compared

scoring weights
40 / 40 / 20 — editable before you publish

you stay in full control. nothing publishes automatically — you edit every line, review it, and publish when you are ready.

after submissions closeyour criteria only

ai review

reads every submission against the criteria you finalised before publishing. nothing it was not told to look for.

rationale · quoted from the submission

“pin-code validation fires before the field blurs, so the error appears while they are still typing.” — page 2, annotated screen

#22 · private github repo → needs manual review, not scored low

anything it cannot fully read is flagged for a human instead of being penalised. a broken link is never treated as a bad submission.

the line that does not move

ai never picks your winner. you review, override, and decide.

founding cohort · live now

founding partner startups shape what gets built next.

we are opening twenty-five company seats before we open the gates. being early is the advantage here: your challenge sits at the front of the board, and the formats we build next are the ones you ask for.

01
priority placement on the board
your challenge sits at the front while the pool is smallest and most attentive.
02
you shape what gets built next
the formats, the rubric templates, the dashboard — you tell us what is missing.
03
founding partner badge, permanently
on your challenges and on the profiles of every student who solved one.
04
listing fee held at founding rates
the price you start at is the price you keep as the pool grows.
seats remaining25 of 25

bring us the problem you already have.

one sentence is enough to start. we will come back with the brief, the scoring and the fee before anything goes live.

no contract, no minimum spend, no per-student charges. twenty-five founding seats.
