Adventure #46 - Buidlbox.io

Host, co-sponsor & participate in hackathons

Hey there!
My mission is to support ambitious founders and fuel innovation!
move house 💀 💀 

I forgot just how much hassle it is.

Buttttt, there’s a cool opportunity 😅 

Does anyone want to move in together??? I’m serious

It would be cool - imagine 3-4 of us, web3 people, working on cool things in the living room, going to events and so on.

If that sounds interesting, drop me a message.
I’m thinking somewhere around London or Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 

Anyway, let’s get into the newsletter. The plan

Use this framework to look into a business:
(1) The product
(2) The founding team
(3) Funding & Hiring

(4) Meme of the week
(5) Hustler's ambition

Disclaimer: None of this is sponsored, I choose what to write about. This is not financial advice either!

Today is dedicated to buidlbox

The Product

(i) problem

Do you know where to find info about web3 events??

If you read my newsletter - yes. I wrote about it here

But what about hackathons?? I’ve not seen much.

Thankfully, someone came up with buidlbox

(ii) solution & demo

I love how the team has explained it so attaching a screenshot

Here is how it looks

You create your account & add your interests

On the next tab, you can see live and past Hackathons.

I reckon the team will soon add a filter for the upcoming ones.

When you select a hackathon, you see:

  • the event schedule

  • the different prize pools

  • the judges

  • and sponsors

Signing up happens in just a few minutes.
It’s really well thought out and I can see why it’s been successful!

(iii) how you can benefit

You can use the platform to:

  • organize or participate in a hackathon

  • follow the hackathons happening

The founding team

The product was developed by Supermodular

Kevin Owocki: Founder (Twitter)

➙ co-founder of Gitcoin
More about him below

Funding and Hiring

A) Funding

I couldn’t find anything

B) Hiring

Couldn’t see anything on their website or LinkedIn.

Favourite meme of the week

Hustler's Ambition

(A section dedicated to frameworks/ideas/tools)

Given that hackathons are about shipping, I have found you an absolute shipper to learn from
