Opportunity brief
Most hackathons end with a demo. RevHack ends with real users.
RevHack is a free, 36-hour online hackathon for students across India. You have 36 hours to build, then about a week to put it in front of real people and get your first users or sales. Build anything that can earn: a website for your side business, an app people love, a browser extension folks have always wished existed, or software that businesses will pay for.
