Technology
Put your APIs, AI models, cloud infrastructure or developer tools into the building process.
Give builders
more to build with.
Bring useful technology, a real challenge, expertise, or an opportunity. Put it directly into the hands of people building.
Partner with HackyardStart with
an objective.
Technology, challenges, talent, founder discovery, and expertise. These are conversations, not generic sponsorship packages.
Challenges
Give builders a real problem worth solving.
Talent
Meet exceptional builders for internships, hiring and future opportunities.
Useful access.
Clear scope.
Put your APIs, AI models, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, real problems, and opportunities into the building process.
No sponsor roster, package pricing, guaranteed adoption, hiring outcomes, or participant-data access is promised here.
Tools & technical support
Discuss what builders need to try your tool: documentation, a useful example, an appropriate access model, and technical support. Access conditions and any limits should be clear before participants begin.
A challenge worth solving
Describe the user, the problem, and what a useful result would demonstrate. Agree on the brief, data permissions, support, and assessment before a challenge is published.
Responsible hiring conversations
Explore how to meet builders through their work. Participation, consent, and the scope of any hiring activity must be agreed in advance. A partnership is not permission to access private participant data.
Program details still pending
Applications are online, free, and open from 14 September to 10 October 2026. Selected teams build in person at IIT Guwahati on 24–25 October. Each selected team receives $100 in AI Build Credits. Final prize details will be announced as confirmed.
