HackPulse Platform
Now with AI-Powered Judging

The Professional Hackathon Management Platform

Engineering fairness, ensuring transparency. Run hackathons with confidence using advanced judging, real-time leaderboards, and complete audit trails.

Running a hackathon shouldn't require 10 different tools

Most organizers struggle with fragmented workflows, complex setups, and judging systems that were built as an afterthought.

Fragmented Workflows

Registration on one platform, submissions on another, judging in spreadsheets. Switching between tools wastes time and creates errors.

Complex Configuration

Existing platforms are either too simple for serious events or too complex to configure without technical expertise.

Judging as Afterthought

Fixed 1-5 scales, no weighted criteria, no judge assignments. Results end up in Excel anyway.

Zero Transparency

Participants and sponsors can't understand how winners were chosen. No audit trail, no accountability.
