Don't Hack Alone! Tips for Finding Your Dream Team

Hey Hackers,

Getting started is all about finding the right people to build with. We know not everyone has a team yet, and that's totally cool. Here's how you can find your perfect crew for the hackathon:

The Participants Page: Use the Team Up Request feature on the participants page to send a request to anyone you want to work with.
Join Our Discord: Hop into our official Discord server and use the #team-up channel. It's the best way to chat directly with other participants and find people who share your vibe and ideas.

Pro Tips for Team Building

Finding the right mix is key to a successful hackathon project. Keep these tips in mind as you look:

Look for Complementary Skills: A great team has a range of skills. Think about the full stack—someone for front-end, someone for back-end, and of course, a few AI wizards. Don't be afraid to find people who fill in your knowledge gaps.
Find a Shared Goal: Make sure your potential teammates are in it for the same reason you are. Are you all focused on winning? Learning something new? Building a portfolio piece? Aligning on your goal from the start will make a huge difference.

One last important note: Promotional credits will be distributed to teams, so be sure you have your team formed before you request access.

We can't wait to see the incredible teams you put together!
