Presentations, Not Pilots
Teams produce polished slide decks instead of working prototypes. Events end with applause, but nothing ships to production.
Enterprise Hackathons That Actually Deliver
The Otinga AI Hackathon Platform combines virtual collaboration tools with structured methodology to produce real business outcomes—not just presentations.
Why Most Corporate Hackathons Fail
Common pitfalls that prevent hackathons from delivering value
Unclear Challenge Definitions
Vague problem statements lead to unfocused solutions. Teams waste time debating scope instead of building.
No Follow-Through
Winning ideas die after the event. No clear path from hackathon output to funded pilot or production deployment.
