Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a corporate hackathon cost?
Every hackathon is built around your goals, so there's no fixed price. The budget depends on the format, the number of participants, the duration and how much of the logistics we handle. You'll get a clear budget range on our first call.
How far in advance should we plan?
Ideally, 10 weeks before the event. That gives time to define the challenge, bring in participants and line up mentors and a jury. Tighter timelines are possible, so ask us on the call. After the call, you'll receive a written proposal within 1 business day.
How long does a hackathon last?
Most run 24 to 48 hours. Depending on your goals, it can be a few hours or several days, and it can include an ideation or development phase before the event.
Which format is right for us?
In-person, hybrid or online. Internal hackathons bring your own teams together around a business challenge and are great for culture, alignment, and R&D. External hackathons open your challenge to startups, developers, researchers or students for open innovation, visibility and recruiting. We'll recommend the right format on the call.
When should you organize one?
When you need new solutions fast: launching a product or service, solving a process or digital-transformation challenge, pushing an innovation or ESG agenda, engaging teams across departments, or spotting talent.
What does Kreativdistrikt handle?
Everything, end to end: challenge design, agenda, participant outreach and communication, venue and logistics or online setup, facilitators, mentors and jury, judging and awards, and follow-up after the event.
How do you measure success?
Before launch, we agree the goals and success criteria with you. Those can be the number and quality of prototypes, the ideas taken forward, participation, or talent identified. The jury scores projects on innovation, feasibility, impact, execution and presentation, weighted to your objectives.
What happens after the event?
We document every project and help you refine and implement the winning ideas, so the value doesn't end on demo day.
