Cursor x Sandbox Hackathon | Stuttgart

​Be a founder for a day.

​This is a one-day hackathon for software founders, and for anyone who wants to find out if they are one. You start at 10:00 with an idea and finish at 16:30 with a product, real customer conversations, a live landing page and an investor pitch.

​What you hand in:

​- A working product
- What you learned from at least 5 potential customers
- A live landing page with a sign-up
- A 3-minute pitch

​You will be judged on:
- Customer understanding
- Product maturity
- Landing page
- Investor readiness

​Schedule for the day:

​- 09:00 - 09:30: Arrivals, check-in, breakfast
- 09:30 - 10:00: Introduction and team forming
- 10:00: Building starts
- 12:30: Lunch
- 16:30: Submission deadline
- 16:30 - 17:30: Judges visit every team and pick the top 8
- 17:30 - 19:00: Top 8 pitches, prizes

​Breakfast, lunch and drinks are on us. Every team gets credits for the tools to build their idea out.

​Rules:

​- Teams of 1-4. Come alone or with a team.
- Build something new. Use the day to test a new startup idea, not to continue an existing one.
