There's lots of money spent on hackathon bounties but not much talking about getting a Return on Investment.

yes, i really like this approach. IIRC ETH Global used to have more relaxed rules around working on previous projects. Think it became unfair for others so a separate track is good

At ETH Dam we have a track specifically for pre-existing projects. I think it's important that there is a space for projects who have "Won one hackathon but aren't quite ready to quit their jobs yet"

Otherwise, how do you continue?

❤️ thanks! 

that's definitely where they go wrong early on

in pt 2 and 3 im going to talk more about the "long term" game of hackathon sponsorships which will cover the "looking for startups"

love this

you mention "awareness" and i agree, it should be top of the funnel marketing towards devs

but i feel like most teams sponsoring hackathons do that with the expectation of finding a new startup or project building for the long term in their ecosystem
