What is a Member Hackathon?

A Member Hackathon is a verified hackathon run by a university, college, or student-led community, supported end-to-end by HackCulture.

• Recognized for high quality in sponsorship, marketing, logistics, and hacker experience.
• Designed as an innovation sprint where students solve real-world problems in 12-24–48 hours.
• Backed by HackCulture’s network, tools, and mentorship to create maximum impact.

Why We Support This

India has one of the largest student developer bases in the world but most hackathons face common challenges:

• No industry alignment – problem statements aren’t linked to real-world needs.
• Lack of tools – students don’t get access to APIs, cloud credits, or dev platforms.
• Minimal mentorship – no structured guidance from experts.

Through Member Hackathons, HackCulture:

• Brings industry-grade challenges directly to campuses.
• Connects students to startups, corporates, and investors.
• Helps organizers run impact-driven, inclusive hackathons.
• Builds a pipeline for innovation and talent development beyond the hackathon.
