We're on a mission to make hackathon judging fair, transparent, and trusted by everyone.
HackPulse was born when our founders - hackathon organizers, judges, and participants themselves - got tired of the same problems plaguing every event:
Judging always ended up in Google Sheets, prone to errors and impossible to audit.
Participants never understood why they won or lost. Trust eroded event after event.
Registration here, submissions there, judging elsewhere. Nothing worked together.
We built HackPulse to solve these problems once and for all. A single platform where fairness isn't just a promise - it's engineered into every feature.
The principles that guide everything we build.
Every feature is designed with fairness in mind. From weighted criteria to recusal systems, we engineer bias out of the process.
No black boxes. Participants understand how scores are calculated. Organizers can audit everything. Trust is built on visibility.
We're builders too. We understand the hackathon community because we're part of it. We build what we'd want to use.
Hackathon veterans, engineers, and design enthusiasts building the future of fair competitions.
