early access: maximally saas sprint (apr 1-7)

https://saas-sprint.devpost.com/
hey there,

i want to be very clear upfront.

this is the most ambitious and highest-bar hackathon maximally has ever hosted.

maximally saas sprint is a 7-day, execution-first online sprint running from april 1 to april 7, built for people who want to prove they can actually ship.

not pitch.
not prototype.
not explain what they would have built.

ship.

this is not a beginner event.
this is not an ideathon.
this is not a safe or comfortable hackathon.

participants are given judge-led problem statements and seven days to build, deploy, and demonstrate a real, live saas product that works end to end.

no mentors.
no hand-holding.
no extensions.

the only thing that matters is output.

if you have built with maximally before, you already know our standards. this sprint pushes them further. it is designed to feel intense, fast, and uncomfortable in the same way real startup pressure does.

what makes this different

  • strict focus on shipping something usable and live

  • real-world problems written by experienced judges

  • judging based on execution quality, product judgment, and clarity

  • ai, no-code, and low-code fully allowed -- outcomes matter more than ideology

  • teams are expected to make hard tradeoffs and defend them

by the end of the sprint, teams should walk away with a product they would actually continue working on, not something that dies after submission.

prizes
the current prize pool is ₹3,97,500 and is still increasing.

top teams will be invited to live finals, where they will demo the product, explain their decisions, and be evaluated on whether the product feels real, grounded, and continuation-ready.

this sprint is meant to separate builders who can talk from builders who can ship.

if you want to test how fast and how well you can build when it actually matters, this is that test.

early access registration is open here:

ship something real. own the outcome.

thanks,
rishul
