After the deadline
Grants, accelerators, and Eternal: with real terms. The funding ladder for teams that shipped something real, whether or not they placed.
Momentum is a signal
The hackathon doesn't end on submission day. Judges and investors both look at what a team did in the two weeks after the deadline, because that's when the ones who were only there for the prize stop.
Almost nobody wins their first one
Unruggable entered four Colosseum hackathons: an honourable mention at Renaissance, another at Radar, a first-place track win at Breakout, then the Grand Championship at Cypherpunk. Colosseum built a section of their own site around this, under the line that the best builders don't just compete once.
The threshold is also higher up the table than most people assume. Placing in the top group is what feeds the accelerator, so aim there rather than at the single top spot, and if you place nowhere, the useful question is what you enter next, not whether you were right to enter at all.
Accelerators
Grants
- Solana Foundation grants
- Solana Mobile builder grants
- Circle developer grants
- Superteam Earn: grants and bounties
If you shipped something real during the hackathon, you're also a credible Superteam Türkiye membership applicant. That's the door to local grants and perks.
