Partner with Hack@Davidson
Davidson College's largest student-run tech club runs the college's annual hackathon, plus workshops and build nights all year. Hack@Davidson 2027 is our next hackathon, coming this February, and a direct line to the students you'll want on your team before they're on the job market.
Why sponsor us?
More than a logo.
Every February, Davidson's most driven engineers, designers, and builders show up to ship something in one weekend. Sponsoring puts your brand and your recruiters directly in front of that talent, before it's on anyone else's radar.

Build a recruiting pipeline with Davidson's most driven builders, from logo placement to on-site conversations, before they're on the job market.
Marketing
Reach our community online and in person, from a social media shout-out to prominent event-day branding.
Product adoption
Put your API or product in builders' hands with a sponsored prize track, and see exactly how it got used in our post-event report.
