Create/Join a Team
In our three hackathon modes, while the process of creating and joining teams remains consistent, their representation on the dashboard differs.
🌐 Online Hackathons
Optional for individuals
You can create or join a team anytime during the hackathon. For online-only hackathons, team formation is optional.
🛠 Creating and Joining a Team
- Even if you plan to submit individually, you must create a team before submission.
- You can create or join a team anytime before you submit your project.
- When you submit as part of a team, your combined team strength is evaluated (skills, experience, past projects).
Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts!
🏢 Offline + Online with Application Review
Team formation is mandatory
You can form teams either while submitting your application or after individual acceptance. Team formation is compulsory in these hackathon formats.
🛠 Creating a Team
- We recommend applying as an individual first.
- Once accepted, go ahead and create or join a team before project submission.
🤝 Joining a Team
To join an existing team, you'll need:
- The Invite Code from your team admin
- A fully filled application (100% completion)
- To be accepted individually into the hackathon
Heads up on edge case!
If you're still submitting your application and try to join a team that’s already in “accepted” status, Devfolio will not allow it.
Submit your application individually, and once accepted, you'll then be able to join the team.
