Revenue streams built in
HackStack is not a hackathon directory. It's the operating system for innovation events — from 50-person university sprints to 1,000-person enterprise programs.
Three revenue streams: per-event SaaS ($99), marketplace fees (sponsor connections), and talent pipeline (recruiting integrations). Network effects: every participant profile enriches the platform.
