Still running hackathons in spreadsheets and 5 other tools?
Most organisations still run hackathons on a patchwork of forms, chats, and spreadsheets, and have no way to measure what worked.
Participant data, teams, mentors, submissions, and schedules are scattered across disconnected tools.
Endless emails to confirm logistics, track progress, and chase submissions.
When the event ends, you're left with photos and PDFs but no real data on impact.
You don’t have a clear view of team progress, mentor activity, or program performance.

How organizations run hackathons with HackTribe
SportHack required a dynamic open innovation program to uncover novel, technology-driven solutions within the sports industry. The objective was to bring together diverse international talent to prototype and develop innovative sports technology concepts, fostering both professional advancement and broader societal well-being.
Universities face the dual challenge of preparing students for an AI-driven future and fostering innovation that addresses real-world problems. This requires practical, hands-on opportunities that connect academic learning with industry-leading tools and societal needs. The Baltic region, in particular, sought to strengthen its collective capabilities in artificial intelligence and cultivate a new generation of AI talent.
Open FinHack sought to catalyze innovation in the financial technology sector by uniting diverse talents globally. They aimed to discover novel B2B and B2C solutions across six critical financial areas, fostering entrepreneurship and international collaboration.

What organisers say
HackTribe supported us throughout the entire Climathon, from onboarding our organising team to helping participants use the platform confidently. Their team was responsive and proactive, sharing practical recommendations that went beyond the technology itself. This helped us create a smoother and more engaging experience for everyone involved.
HackTribe has made a great contribution to our hackathon organisation. The platform's features, particularly in managing schedules, coordinating with mentors, and communicating, have been incredibly helpful in ensuring everything runs smoothly.
