About the challenge
The 8th Annual NSBEHacks Challenge:
This year, NSBEHacks invites participants to step into the world of startups, innovation, and venture creation. With the theme “Hack Ventures,” we challenge students to think beyond ideas and focus on building scalable solutions that can grow, attract investment, and create real-world impact.
Participants are encouraged to approach their projects through an entrepreneurial lens — identifying meaningful market opportunities, designing viable business models, and developing solutions with long-term potential.
Contestants do not need prior startup experience; rather, they should demonstrate how their ideas could evolve into sustainable ventures capable of reaching users, generating value, and driving innovation beyond the hackathon stage.
