Sensis and Pollenizer have partnered to offer you a 2 day hackathon with over $50,000 worth of prizes and perks.
On Saturday March 24 all the idea generators, code masters and design maestros come together to brainstorm. Ideas are sparked, teams are formed, products are scoped, and it all culminates in a series of pitches to our panel of industry experts. All teams get feedback and the best are encouraged to continue on.
Teams will then have a week to research their audience, model their financials, plan their marketing, debate features, discuss strategies, and bond together over their product ideas.
Then on Saturday March 31 the group hackathon begins as teams return to finish and release a working prototype of their product.
Sounds like fun right? There is only one tiny restriction. The development tools, frameworks and application focus are entirely up to the participants but the final product must integrate the Sensis API. There is a lot that can be done with the new Sensis API (think Yellow/White Pages on steroids).
We wanted to make sure that everyone has a chance to leave the event with a little something so we arranged a broad range of prizes:
The team with the Best Technical Execution will receive $5,000
The team with the Best Commercial Concept will receive $5,000
In addition, we will be looking for one amazing concept to invest in. The lucky team will be offered $10,000 investment and enrolment in our 4 month incubator program which comes with over $30,000 worth of additional perks including:
- 2 desk spaces at the Pollenizer Hive
- $2,000 / month of hosting credit with Ninefold
- Weekly “heart-bit” meeting with our senior staff
- Monthly gathering with the Pollenizer Ventures investors
- Access to the broader Pollenizer network and pool of cross disciplinary experts
To top it off some of our portfolio companies will be represented and will have perks and goodies for the attendees. We might even launch a few new exciting things during the event 🙂
So wait no more, grab a (free) ticket and join us for 2 days of frantic business building 🙂
