E-world.prototype.club - Whats different to a normal hackathon?
A "real business opportunity"
The ideal cycle looks like this: the problem is addressed by companies, excellent prototypes are built in eight-day sprints and the winning solution is commissioned after the E-world Sprint by the initial company for the 100-day MVP!
In other words: you tendered for a follow-up contract by your prototype!
The process
→ application → selection → participation in prototype competition → contacts to clients → follow-up contract discussions
