FounderForge

Overview

This hackathon, FounderForge, is all about bringing together robotics enthusiasts and aspiring founders to create powerful startup ideas in automation and innovation. You'll explore the exciting space where hardware, AI, and product design meet to solve real-world problems using robotics. The goal is to develop concepts, prototypes, or pitch decks for robotics-based startups that could become scalable businesses.

Requirements

Participants need to be of legal age in their country of residence to join. This is an online event open to everyone globally, with standard exceptions for trade restrictions. You should aim to build a robotics-based startup concept that tackles a real-world issue. This could involve creating a hardware prototype, designing a robotics system, developing a software stack using AI or automation, or preparing a market-ready startup idea. Your project can be a fully functional product, a partial prototype, a concept with simulations, or a pitch deck backed by technical details. Essentially, anything that combines 'robotics' and 'startup' is welcome.

Prizes

There are 3 non-cash prizes available. The main winner, FounderForge's Winner, will receive free domain names worth up to $400. Additionally, the top 10 winners will each get a certificate recognizing their achievement. There's also a special Grand Winner Certificate for one standout participant.
