From Idea to Impact

Fueling the Next Generation of Builders

Hackathons are intense, creative marathons where bold ideas take shape in record time. But to truly make an impact, these ideas need to become products that are supported by companies.  StartupScience.io partners with hackathons to empower participants to turn their ideas into real-world solutions: we pick up where the hackathon leaves off.  

By providing a bridge between hackathons and the startup journey, we ensure that every great idea gets the chance to grow, scale, and make a lasting difference.

Empowering Ideas Beyond the Hackathon

Why Hackathons Partner with StartupScience.io

World Class Entrepreneurship Education

The Startup Science platform is designed to complement and augment academic entrepreneurship programs by providing a structured learning experience.  The education modules in its ‘Academy’ provide concentrated and practical understanding of the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, based on real world experience and years of proven research, that can enhance curriculum and classroom programs.  It can be used effectively in parallel with academic programs, and aspiring entrepreneurs can continue to use it to advance their projects after their course ends.  It can also be used as a stand alone experience to help bring ideas to life and get them into the market.

Encouraging and Empowering Participants to Build Beyond the Weekend

The Startup Science platform allows instructors and mentors to assign education modules and specific tasks, and to track progress.  This reduces the burden of repeatedly teaching fundamental concepts and allows them to focus their precious time on working with entrepreneurs to effectively apply that fundamental learning to the specifics of their situation.  It also allows instructors and mentors to upload their own content and assign it to participants, building a robust library for the institution over time.

A World of Connections and Collaboration

No institution is as good as all institutions together.  The Startup Science platform allows academic programs, if they choose, to expose their participants to our global network of fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, accelerators, investors and corporate partners.  It also gives them the opportunity to prepare for, and apply to, the Fulbright Entrepreneurship Initiative (https://www.fulbright.ca/programs/entrepreneurship-initiative).

Long Term Success & Talent Tracking

Most hackathons lose track of their participants once they’ve left the arena.  Hence, it is difficult to collect data on their long term success, which can in turn be used to demonstrate the value that an exceptional hackathon adds for its participants and sponsors.  Startup Science is designed to stay with the hacker through their entire entrepreneurial journey and allows hackathon organizers to follow their participants for as long as they stay active on the platform.

Championing Diversity in Innovation

Supporting Diverse Innovators in the Hackathon Ecosystem

Innovation is strongest when diverse perspectives come together. StartupScience.io is committed to supporting hackathon participants from underrepresented backgrounds, providing resources tailored to the needs of women, veterans, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and non-traditional entrepreneurs.
By working with hackathons to champion inclusion, we ensure that every team has an equal opportunity to succeed, and that the tech ecosystem benefits from a wealth of ideas, experiences, and viewpoints.

Extending the Impact of Hackathons

Maximizing Hackathon Impact Through Continued Engagement

Hackathons create a surge of energy and creativity, but keeping that momentum is essential for long-term impact.

Through data-driven insights and engagement tracking, organizers can follow teams’ development and measure the long-term impact of their hackathons, celebrating each success story as it unfolds.

What Our Users Say About Us?

I was joining just to see if I should recommend to my members but after the courses and discussion I’ve decided to participate and am already getting value personally.
Loyd Reshard Sr.
Board Chair, Kukua Institute
This is exactly what I needed and can’t pull myself away from it, I had to remind myself to take a break and go to sleep I was so engaged with the process.
Dr. Sam Graber
Founder & EIR, Pitch Global
While Mentoring senior entrepreneurs, my fellow EIR’s and I always notice gaps in basic entrepreneurial education, which often holds them back from achieving their goals. Hence, we recommend every entrepreneur, however experienced or qualified, to go through [the courses in Gravity] and make their foundation rock solid.
KC Chaudhuri
Founder & EIR, Pitch Global
When I registered I thought this was going to be something I would do in the background, instead I am prioritizing this program because of the value.
