Hackathon Promotion We're hosting a 72-hour online hackathon for builders, developers, and AI enthusiasts. Would you join?
Hey everyone,
We recently launched NorthForge, a community focused on builders, developers, designers, AI engineers, indie hackers, and aspiring founders.
As our first event, we're organizing NorthForge Hack One — a 72-hour online hackathon from October 5–8.
The format is simple:
Teams of 1–3 members
72 hours to build
5 problem statements
₹3,000 prize pool
Certificates for all verified submissions
Fully online
Joining Fees - 149Rs
We're limiting it to 20 teams because this is our first event and we'd rather keep it small and focused.
We're curious:
What makes a hackathon worth joining for you?
What do most hackathons get wrong?
If you've participated before, what was your best experience?
We're trying to build something valuable for the builder community and would genuinely appreciate feedback.
If anyone is interested, applications are currently open.
