Unfounded Build Day brings together India's sharpest college engineers, designers, and operators for a 24-hour sprint. Ship a live feature or standalone tool to real users. If it doesn’t deploy, it doesn’t count.
We built this event because conventional college hackathons have degraded into PowerPoint competitions. Here are our rules:
Anyone opening Keynote, Canva, or PowerPoint during demo time is immediately disqualified. You demo your live terminal, your deployed URL, and your analytics.
`localhost` is not a deployment. Your code must be accessible on a public URL, with real database persistence and end-to-end user workflows.
A great app without users is a hobby. The final 4 hours of Build Day are dedicated to distribution: get your first 10 live users before the clock hits zero.
Build Day slots are limited to 50 builders per season. Fast-track your application into the Unfounded Fellowship.
