Hi, saw a lot of people are coming up with new ideas these days to socialize, network and build things. Like hacker house, zo house, running clubs etc.. are these even worth it?

HSR hacker house- Grapevine

My friend runs a small offline tech community in hsr, bangalore. 

They meet to build stuff, launch in public, have small mixers and do demo days to showcase builds.

I'm working on a project but feel I'll be bad at demos + launching 

Can anyone help with this?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I’ve been pondering over this for a couple months. I’ve been in the startup ecosystem for a while now, I’ve seen many people who want to build but usually lack a support system. Venture Capital just doesn’t meet you until you have a certain scale and before that I realise that building alone is especially difficult for anyone. 

If I am able to find enough cracked people (5-10 for now) working on or planning to work on something cool, I will start a hacker house somewhere in NCR.

If you think you’re working on something cool, DM me. 

Why NCR? 
I feel this place has enough people with potential but lacks in communities in comparison to bangalore.

Ask me any other questions you might have.

Sequoia India used to host a hackathon. That used to be some epic stuff. Lots of really good devs used to come and make some kickass products. Post that I have been to numerous hackathon and it rarely makes a dent in quality of outputs. What do you guys think we can do to make hackathons great again? Most of the events these days are closed events for within a company. 

I'll start with some suggestions:
1. Have a decent prize money
2. Output should be judged on factors like completeness, business readiness, quality, usecase definition etc
3. Have good sponsors backing the cause so that we get awareness about the event.
4. Also support good innovation as well. Not like yet another Chat GPT coding assistant

Please add on to this. How can we have a great one again. Looking for ideas and if we end up with a decent suggestion then we can try to setup a hackathon of our own completely.

I don’t know how to approach someone who is interested in working on the side projects.

Do you guys know any communities/groups?

How useful are hackathons

I have been in cybersecurity space for the last 7 years and have been looking for folks with similar interest around delhi.

Are there any good hacker clubs in delhi ?

Remember when I was in college, we had a really great hackathon culture, being conducted offline in Bangalore. AngelHack, Amazon Sambhav, FutureSkills by Nasscom, Ideathon. 

After COVID hit and Web3 became a buzzword, all I see is web3 hackathons where folks just copy a pre-written smart contract from GitHub and it doesn't even work. Most of these are online where you don't even get to see what others have built.
I have seen someone winning 3rd prize by showing Figma prototype 🤦‍♀️. Same goes for meetups as well.

Really miss the days where we had no clue on Friday what we're going to build and coming home with $500 in prize on Monday mornings.


If you're aware of any good hackathons happening this year, please let me know.
