Finding & Joining Events
A cornerstone of the Web3 ecosystem, hackathons and other Product Development & Network centric events are the best place to meet people, build teams and create Products. Building a community of builders with a breadth of backaground, experience levels and motivation is where Foundance can support in the acceleration of all projects from nucleus of an idea to a first investment round.
We run 8 week Venturethon events in partnership with our parent company soonami as well as supporting many events organised by our partner network and customers.
Browsing Events
As soon as you login to Foundance you will see some of our partner and featured events on your dashboard. To see all of the current and upcoming events navigate to Events Dashboard and you will be greeted by the screen below where you can see high level details of the event, the organiser, whether it is remote and what the prize pool is.
On this page you can narrow down the events that you are interested in using the sort, filter and search options.
Viewing an Event
You can browse the events by clicking on the Hero banner or on the individual tiles. By clicking on an event you will see a page similar to the one below.
On this screen you will get an overview of the event as well as details on the topics covered, the prizes offered, the schedule, who the team is - including judges & mentors, and the rules.
Two of the most exciting tabs though are the Particpants & Projects - here you can see the other cofounders that have signed up to the event and any projects that have been created as part of it.
Use the Go to Project and View Profile buttons to look at the people and projects you could be mixing with. A really nice feature if you are new to the event is to filter the projects by Looking for Members which will show you all projects with open roles that you can apply for - there is more on this in Joining a Team
Joining an Event
Different events might want to gather different information about you as part of the enrollment process, but all of it starts by clicking the Join Hackathon button in the event header.
If there is no button it could mean one of several thing:
- The event has finished
- You are already enrolled
- Registrations are closed
If the event does have some enrollment requirements you will be presented with a form in an overlay to complete and submit. Once that form is submitted, you are enrolled, and your profile will be part of the participants list!
Once you have joined an event, you are listed on the participants, if you want to be seen by as many people as possible and find the best team for you, make sure that you have a complete profile
Enrolling a Project
If you have your own project idea, the next step is to create a project and enroll it to the event.
To do this, go to the Projects tab and click on
Provide all the required information. Since you have already joined an event, when creating a project you will be prompted to specify if it is for the purpose of this event.
If you have already created your project on Foundance and can't find it in the list of event projects, click on
Submitting Project for a Bounty
When joining an event, it is important to specify which bounty is of interest to you. Some events will allow submitting the same project to multiple bounties, while some will allow only one.
Open your Project and on the Project Details tab you will find an Event Enrollment section. Click on it and select the desired bounty.
If you can't find the event there, make sure the project is enrolled to the event of interest.
