A hackathon brings an additional dimension to the event. It’s fast and intense, things get built in a few hours. We felt the engagement and creativity in the arena. BuilderBase added value and enabled high quality management and execution of the hackathon.

BuilderBase connects to the tools you already use to run events, so everything stays in sync, before, during, and after.
Luma
Sync registrations and event data automatically. No manual imports or double handling.
Discord
Keep your community active and connected, without losing structure across teams and updates.
Github
Track submissions, activity, and progress directly from where builders actually work.
At EWOR we're obsessed with finding outlier founders. Nothing surfaces them faster than putting talent in a room and seeing what gets built. BuilderBase is what makes it possible to run these events seamlessly—at speed, at scale, and at the highest level.

What is BuilderBase?
BuilderBase is the global infrastructure platform for builder events — hackathons, innovation sprints, hacker houses, and more. We provide AI-native software for organizers to run world-class events, and help connect them with sponsors through our global network.
Who is BuilderBase for?
Event organizers (corporations, VCs, universities, communities, student groups) and sponsors (tech companies looking to reach builder communities through event sponsorship).
Does BuilderBase organize my event for me?
No. It's your event, your data, your community. You stay in full control of your brand, participants, and sponsor relationships. We give you the infrastructure to scale.
How is BuilderBase different from other Hackathon listing platforms?
Most of them give you a landing page and a submission form. BuilderBase is a full infrastructure layer covering the entire event lifecycle, from creation to judging to sponsor ROI reporting.
Will BuilderBase help me get more participants and sponsors?
Yes. Your event gets visibility across the BuilderBase network. We also maintain a global directory of sponsors and partners that we actively connect with organizers — so you get help with both audience and funding.
Why should I host a hackathon?
Hackathons are one of the fastest ways to build community, attract developer talent, generate new product ideas, and create buzz around your brand or technology. Whether you're a startup testing ideas, a corporation driving innovation, or a university engaging students — a well-run hackathon delivers outsized returns in engagement, talent discovery, and brand visibility.
Why should I sponsor a hackathon?
Sponsoring puts your product or API directly in the hands of builders who learn it, use it, and build with it in real time. It's developer marketing that creates genuine adoption — not impressions. You get direct access to a qualified technical audience, content from real projects built on your stack, and measurable engagement data.
Does BuilderBase integrate with the tools I already use?
Yes. BuilderBase integrates with Luma for attendee management, Discord for participant communication, and GitHub for project submissions and code verification. No need to abandon your existing workflow.
What types of events can I run on BuilderBase?
Hackathons (online, in-person, or hybrid), innovation sprints, hacker houses, accelerator programs, and any builder-focused event. Works for a 20-person builder nights or a 10,000+ participant global hackathon.
How long does it take to set up an event?
You will be up and running in 3 minutes. Our tools help you configure registration, tracks, prizes, judging criteria, and scheduling in no time.
Is my data secure?
Yes. BuilderBase follows industry-standard security practices including encryption and compliance with data privacy regulations.
