Tracks & Judging
Use software, data, or hardware prototypes to tackle real challenges faced by veterans, military families, or crisis responders — from secure communication and mental health support to logistics, training, or disaster response. Build something practical that could be piloted in the real world within 3–12 months.
Deliverables: README, short demo video, and a live link or screenshots. Read the Hacker Guide for full detailed instructions and requirements.
Design a no-code startup or venture that delivers a scalable solution for veterans, defense, or public safety — such as a platform, marketplace, training program, or service model. Clearly define the problem, target users, business model, and how you’d realistically launch and grow it.
Deliverables: pitch deck, short video, and a brief executive summary. Read the Hacker Guide for full detailed instructions and requirements.
