World-class hackathons,
built for your business.
We bring six years of hackathon expertise, a global participant network, and an end-to-end execution playbook — so your company can run extraordinary innovation events without building the capability in-house.
Four types of events.
One team to run them all.
Internal Innovation Sprints
Mobilize your engineering, product, and design teams around a shared challenge. Build culture, surface hidden talent, and ship ideas that actually go somewhere.
External Developer Events
Invite your API users, developer community, or customer base to build on your platform. Drive adoption, generate content, and deepen ecosystem relationships.
University Recruiting Events
Tap our existing relationships with 100+ campus organizations to run recruiting hackathons that attract top student talent directly into your pipeline.
Customer & Partner Summits
Transform a standard conference into a hands-on build event. Customers leave with prototypes, relationships, and genuine excitement about your product roadmap.
We've done this
hundreds of times.
We're not a general event agency that happens to offer hackathons. This is all we do — and we've refined every detail over six years and 100+ events across every format, size, and industry.

We tried running an internal hackathon on our own first. It was chaos. HowToHackathon turned our second attempt into something our engineering team still talks about six months later.
