Join Colosseum's Community

To grow the crypto economy, Colosseum runs 3 online hackathons, each followed by an Accelerator cohort. Many builders have participated in multiple Solana hackathons before winning. Sign up for a Colosseum account, create a builder profile, search the directory to find co-founders, and jam on product ideas in the forum before the next Hackathon.

Colosseum collaborates with the Solana community to ensure the entire ecosystem is involved in our Hackathons. We work with top crypto investors and companies who volunteer to judge and contribute. We’ve also partnered with sponsors like Google, Stripe, Microsoft, Coinbase, Amazon Web Services, and a diversity of Solana ecosystem companies to provide builders the smoothest experience possible.
