Seattle's First Growth Hackathon
Hey guys, so we're creating Seattle's first "growth hackathon". What's the difference between a growth hackathon and a regular hackathon? You may ask. Well our event isn't about just coding, but more importantly validating your business idea and gaining traction. Participants don't win on how "cool" their idea is, but how much business development and traction they actually get.
Here's a landing page I created and recently secured the Microsoft Garage in Seattle as our first location:
https://growthhackathon.leadpages.net/hackapreneurmarketinghackathon/
What metrics for traction do you guys think we should use in our judging system?
- javierluraschi 12y ago#OfSignupsDuringHackathon * ExpectedMonthlyRevenuePerCustomer
- bbcbasic 12y agoYou can do it like on the TV show "The Apprentice", and the team with the most profit wins. Simple.
- vladmk 12y agoI like that :-) Perhaps...lol but filming I don't know how that would work out. Most profit is awesome.
- kevinstubbs 12y agoSo... Startup Weekend?
- vladmk 12y agoNope, because at startup weekend you build startups, we validate them. We don't care about your logo or even a presentation isn't that important to the judges. Your success is determined by how many clients you were able to gain in the 48 hour period.
- vladmk 12y agoThe amount of profit you generate, views you get etc is what matters in the 48 hours. Hashing out the details as we speak, join the email list for more info.
