Playbook Template 👇 https://docs.google.com/document/d/13cgrPlujSJzZf08lIeMzhgR3icTIPalJqiMZsJPb9Q8/edit?usp=sharing

Who Can Enter:

Anyone who is in the process of starting a web3 company that is pre-funding can participate.

Prize

$500 in ETH (2 prizes for less than 10 submissions, 4 prizes awarded if more than 10 submissions received).

Challenge

Have you been working on a blockchain or Web3 startup in your spare time? Have you been hustling on nights and weekends and need some incentive to make things happen with your project? Do you need an excuse to take a break from coding and ruthlessly focus on traction? If so, this hackathon is for you!

Over the next 15 days, drive as much viral growth for your startup as you possibly can. This is something you need to do anyways; let us pay you to do it! At the end of the hackathon, prove to us that you’ve made major positive impact in your metrics by showing us significant improvement in:

Beta signups or emails collected
Medium post shares or claps
Existing Web3 players talking about your idea publicly (e.g. on Twitter or in publications)
Industry SME endorsements (recorded, written, or published)
Members in your WhatsApp or Telegram group
Participation in your Slack or Discord space
Other (tell us how you measure virality!)

The only metric we will not accept is Twitter metrics, as they can be easily tampered with.

Deliverables Due Upon Completion

We expect to see the following upon completion of the hackathon:

A link to your product webpage or existing product materials
A benchmark of metrics as of January 29, 2020
Quantifiable proof of traction both upon completion and over time. Show us your numbers!
An open-source playbook on how you achieved success, written and published as an article, a deck, a PDF, etc. This should be at least 700 words in length.

How We Score Your Entries

Quantitative: Link to score-card with weighted scores and how it will be calculated for each. Qualitative: 40% of the score will be based on the playbook; the creativity and ingenuity shown in finding potential users for your next project and building a community around it.

Rules

The following rules will be strictly enforced by judges, at their discretion:

Any cheating will result in immediate disqualification (no bots!)
Each applicant must meet minimum scoring requirements
Applicants must be able to showcase benchmark numbers as of January 29, 2020 for comparison to post-hackathon numbers.

Work has been started.

These users each claimed they can complete the work by 2 years ago. Please review their action plans below:

1) aj07 has started work.

Do customer survey --> Create short and simple website --> Write Blog --> Publish Blog --> Get more signup --> Update doc and Github --> create channel 2) jpaulet has started work.

Create Discord channel, create Medium/Reddit & others posts, increase Github contributors & followers, increase signups & traffic to the site (Google Analytics), try to find endorsements 3) robsecord has started work.

Using Blogs, Twitter & Discord I will attempt to drive engagement to my new Dapp and gather as many new users as I can. I will use Google Analytics for metrics. Dapp is fully decentralized, so users do not have to signup to the site, they just need to Create/Mint particles. 4) crisgarner has started work.

Currently, we have sold 46 Coffee tokens, yet only 2 redeems. We want to improve the redeems and the number of our twitter followers (91). We will design a strategy and execute it in order to improve these numbers and then we will post the updates in a medium blog post 5) makoto has started work.

I am going to do a last free giveaway to allow users to host events during EthDenver 6) makoto has started work.
