Demo day

It's demo day. Your team has been coding for 36 hours straight. You've got 3 minutes on stage and judges who've seen 15 pitches today.

Sound familiar?

Structure your 3 minutes

Every great pitch follows a structure. Here are the beats that make yours unforgettable.

0-30s

Problem Hook

Start with the problem in a way that makes judges sit up.

A live demo of the broken experience beats describing it.
30-90s

Demo

Show the working product — this is the heart of your pitch.

Demo the happy path first. Edge cases and error handling can wait for Q&A.
90-120s

Technical Innovation

What's novel about your approach?

Explain it like you're teaching a smart friend, not writing a whitepaper.
120-150s

Impact

Why does this matter beyond the hackathon?

Connect to real-world impact: "This could save X hours for Y people."
150-180s

Team + Ask

Who built this and what's next?

End on a memorable line — judges remember the last thing they hear.
