Reach the engineers
of tomorrow, today.
Sponsor a student hackathon through HowToHackathon and put your brand in front of thousands of the most motivated CS, engineering, and design students in the country — at any budget.
Why sponsor a student
hackathon?
Top-tier recruiting pipeline
Hackathon participants are self-selecting — they show up on a weekend to build things. These are exactly the candidates you want to hire.
Brand awareness at scale
Your logo, products, and name reach thousands of students across multiple events. Early brand affinity with tomorrow's engineers pays dividends for years.
Live product feedback
Students build with your APIs, tools, and platforms during the event. You get real-world usage, feedback, and adoption — not just impressions.
Guaranteed impact, zero risk
We manage the logistics, accountability, and reporting. You show up, sponsor, and get results — we handle everything in between.
