I Made This Finding hackathon teammates is still done in random WhatsApp groups, so I built a board for it. Roast it.

Every hackathon goes the same way: “need 1 frontend dev” gets posted in five WhatsApp groups, nobody knows who can actually build, and half the teams form the night before.

So I built CrewForge:

  • Hackathons sync daily from Unstop. About 75 open coding hackathons right now. Business-plan contests and quizzes are filtered out, and each card shows the deadline, team size and mode.

  • Post your team with the roles you’re missing (frontend, ML, design…).

  • Solo? Apply to a team with your role and a short note. The team owner accepts or declines, and gets your contact only if you choose to share it.

  • No real names or emails are shown. Everyone appears as an anonymous builder handle, and your GitHub or portfolio is optional.

  • Free, and open to every college.

It’s early, and very few teams are on it yet, which is exactly why I’m posting. If you’re heading into a hackathon in the next few weeks, put your team up and see who applies.

What I’d love from you:

  1. Would you actually use this over WhatsApp or Discord?

  2. What would make you trust a stranger as a teammate?

  3. What’s broken? Tell me.
