CMU Hack-n-Hire

Overview

This hackathon invites Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley students to build solutions for real startup problems in just 6 hours. You'll tackle challenges provided by partner startups and get guidance from founders. The goal is to create functional prototypes that address actual business needs.

This event is for CMU Silicon Valley students who are of legal age. You'll need to form a team of 2 to 4 members. Your team is expected to build a functional prototype or a detailed technical solution based on a startup's problem statement. For submission, you must provide a project overview with a description, a link to your public GitHub repository, and your presentation slides.
