Win Hackathons by Shipping Faster

In a hackathon, every minute counts. Don't waste hours on deployment when you should be building features. CreateOS gets your project live so judges can see it work, not hear you explain it.

“I was hyped to see how quick I'd go from idea to a working product. I knew it'd be fast, just not THIS fast.”

The Problem With Hackathon Projects Today

Hackathon time wasted on deployment instead of features

Demo fails because localhost doesn't work on stage

Team members can't access the project without complex setup

Post-hackathon, the project dies because hosting is too much effort

Deploy in 90 seconds — more time for features and polish

Live URL for demos that just works, every time

Team collaboration with shared environments

Keep your hackathon project alive after the event ends

How It Works

Deploy before demo

Keep it running
