Platform
Everything to run a serious hackathon
From client signup to winner announcement — VentureJudge handles the entire lifecycle.

Judge & scoring tooling
Assigned judges, weighted categories, transparent aggregation, and a live leaderboard — all auditable end-to-end.
Verifiable certificates
Auto-generate winner, runner-up, and judge certificates with QR verification. Your branding, your design.

Per-hackathon analytics: registrations, submissions, top projects, scoring breakdown — exportable as PDF.
White-label everything
Logo, colors, fonts, certificates, reports, login pages, custom domains. Your client's brand — never ours.
