Frequently Asked Questions

Where are your virtual hackathons hosted?

Our virtual hackathons are hosted on our hackathon platform built on StackUp, a community platform for developers to learn and grow. For a more customised approached, we also host hackathons with dedicated websites and event management applications.

Virtual hackathons typically take place between 1 – 4 weeks

AngelHack runs internal (held within a company) and external (open to public) hackathons. For internal hackathons, it is typically used to spark innovation and collaboration within the workplace, while external hackathons are targeted at product adoption, product innovation, or sometimes talent sourcing.

Hackathon participants are often a mix of developers (70%), designers (20%) and entrepreneurs (10%). That said, the demographic will defer depending on the challenges introduced at the hackathon. Essentially, each hackathon is unique and will attract different audiences to participate.

Depending on scope, hackathons can take anywhere from 8-12 weeks to organize. This includes planning, hackathon design, promotion, and logistics.

 The cost depends on factors such as event size, type (in-person, virtual, or hybrid), location, and additional services. We offer custom pricing based on your specific needs!
