Hackspace is an 8-week immersive program where developers, entrepreneurs, and industry mentors collaborate to create and launch real-world tech solutions. The journey begins with a 36-hour offline sprint and continues with a development phase, culminating in a Demo Day where your work is showcased.
To qualify, you must first participate in our online hackathon. This is a competitive entry process where you’ll showcase your skills. The top performers from this hackathon will be invited to join the Hackspace program.
As a developer, you’ll team up with entrepreneurs to transform their visionary startup ideas into fully functional products. Starting with a prototype during the offline 36-hour sprint, you’ll refine it into a market-ready product over the following 8 weeks with the support of mentors and the Avidia platform.
Throughout Hackspace, you can earn bounties, cash prizes, and grants totaling more than ₹10,000. These rewards are offered as you hit key milestones, contribute to the development process, and achieve exceptional results.
You’ll be part of a team that includes other developers, entrepreneurs, and industry mentors. Collaboration is central to Hackspace, and you’ll work closely with your team to bring startup ideas to life.
The offline sprint is an intense, 36-hour session where your team will brainstorm, design, and create a prototype for a startup idea. You’ll work side by side with entrepreneurs and receive expert guidance to ensure your prototype is innovative and functional.
After the offline sprint, you’ll enter an 8-week development phase where you’ll continue refining your prototype into a fully developed product. This phase includes mentorship, ongoing support, and access to the Avidia platform’s advanced tools.
Demo Day is the final event of Hackspace V1, where you’ll present your finished product to an audience of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders. It’s your moment to shine and showcase the impact of your work.
