Example: a team called Null Pointers goes through HackerMate. They find a designer by searching for Figma, check her track record, add her to the team so every required skill is covered, plan the build in their workspace, and submit with the demo online.

The problem
Finding a team shouldn't cost you the hackathon.
Most teams still get assembled in group chats, from whoever replies first. You find out who can really build somewhere around hour twenty.
“As a second-year engineering student, I lost count of how many hackathons I almost skipped simply because I couldn't find a reliable frontend developer or AI builder in time. HackerMate was built to solve team formation for good.”

02Review
Know who actually builds.
A HackerMate profile is a record, not a bio. Before you invite someone, you can see what they have entered, won and shipped.
Track record
Hackathons entered, wins, teams and connections, at a glance.
Shipped work
Projects with demo, code and slide links, next to the event they were built for.
GitHub
Languages and activity synced from their account, so the stack on the profile is backed by code.
Track records are public by default. Anyone can hide theirs in Settings.
03Merge
Fill the gaps, not just the seats.
Post the idea, the event and the skills you need. As builders join, the team page shows which skills are still missing, so you know what the next invite has to cover.
- Requests
- Builders ask to join. You see their profile, then accept or decline.
- Invites
- Invite anyone from search or from the squad matcher in your workspace.
No team yet? Start one for your next event, or ask to join a team that's recruiting.
04Build
One workspace, from kickoff to submission.
Every team gets its own workspace. Talk, plan, keep the links and the repo in view, check the demo is up, and get the deck reviewed before the judges see it.
Example workspace for the team Null Pointers. Pick a section to see what it holds: chat, tasks, brainstorm, resources, GitHub, deployments, activity, pitch review and squad matcher.
Chat. The team thread, with voice notes, images, link previews and reactions.
- Yes. Profiles, search, teams and team workspaces are free for students.
