Looking to scale up rapidly and commence pan India operations, Bounce is looking for a different league of problem solvers keen on alleviating the pain points in the mobility space. In light of this, Bounce is conducting Bounce Hack 1.0 to spot those out-of-the-box thinkers and problem solvers!
The hackathon will be divided into 2 phases. Each phase will have an elimination round.
In this online ideation round, we want to learn about your approach towards building a solution for the chosen mobility problems in India.
Your team must have a mix of mobile and backend developers. You can also choose to participate individually if you possess both the skills.
In the online submission, teams must submit two/three documents with the below information provided in the Idea submission format.
For your idea submissions, we urge you to follow the Idea Submission Format.
At the hackathon location, if you are participating individually, you can either team up with someone who is a mobile developer if you are a backend developer and vice versa or get started on building the solution with your teammates. You will be evaluated on the product as a whole.
The Bounce engineering team will mentor you and help chisel your solution during the course of the hackathon. The finalists will get the opportunity to showcase and discuss their solution before the esteemed judges of Bounce Hack 1.0 and may even get lucky enough to land a job opportunity at Bounce!
