02 – How it works
How Hackathon Planner works
The plan is based on the run of show we use in our Corporathons: short deep dive, long build time, hard timeboxes, public demo.
It also includes the things people forget the first time: access, data approvals, jury briefing, follow-up.
03 – Comparison
How Hackathon Planner compares to paid alternatives
Consulting takes weeks and costs five figures. This tool delivers a personalized result in minutes, based on your real situation, not a template.
