Frequently Asked Questions
Can Who's In manage team formation for hackathons?▼
Yes. Participants can form teams or be matched by the platform based on skills and project interests. Team formation windows can be timed, capacity-limited, and combined with AI matchmaking to surface ideal teammates based on skill complementarity.
Does it support project submission portals?▼
Yes. Create project submission forms with file upload, GitHub repo links, demo video URLs, and team details. Set submission deadlines and automatically close the portal when the deadline passes. Judges access submissions through a dedicated judging portal.
How do judging rubrics work?▼
Define custom judging criteria (innovation, technical complexity, user experience, business viability) with weighted scoring. Judges access submissions and score independently. The platform calculates final rankings, manages tie-breaking, and generates leaderboards.
Can sponsors have branded challenges within the hackathon?▼
