For generations, Nepal's brightest minds have left the country in search of opportunities they believe don't exist at home.
But what if those opportunities could be brought right here, allowing them to build world class products, access global capital, and create opportunities without ever leaving?
The Colosseum Crypto World's Fair Hackathon is the world's largest online hackathon with millions of dollars in prizes, a shot at the Colosseum Startup Accelerator with up to $250K in pre seed funding, and a $5,000 track exclusively for Nepali builders. You can now compete with just a laptop and an idea, from anywhere in Nepal, and Superteam Nepal is here to help you win.
And for the first time, the hackathon is open to builders on any blockchain, not just Solana.
In this bounty, we are inviting you to add a brick to the wall against brain drain by creating content that covers three things: why builders should stay and build from Nepal, what you're building for the hackathon, and one idea someone else could build.
So, show the ecosystem what a generational product from Nepal looks like, while giving the next talent a reason to stay here.
Speak to the problem in your own words: Nepal loses its best builders every year, and most of them never hear that opportunities like this exist here
Present the hackathon as the answer: millions in prizes, $250K in pre seed funding, $5,000 exclusively for Nepalis, open to any blockchain, with Superteam Nepal supporting Nepali teams
Feel free to use the framing of this bounty as your hook: Nepal has been losing its best minds for generations, we are building a wall against brain drain, and you are adding a brick to it
The product or idea you're building for the hackathon
The problem it solves, who it's for, and why it matters
Why you're the right person to build it
One clearly defined idea someone else could build for the hackathon
Why you're suggesting it: the gap it fills and the opportunity you see in it
Video is the priority for this bounty. Video carries emotion, travels further, and is what we will weight most heavily in judging. Carousels, X threads, and LinkedIn posts are also accepted, and if that is where you do your best work, submit that.
Quality matters a lot. Videos must be high quality and well edited, with clean audio and visuals, so they earn the reach this message deserves.
Be well explained, clear to understand, and well shot, with you in the frame
Work even as a simple screenshare with a few slides or a walkthrough of your product
Be specific: name the problem, the users, the numbers if you can
Be published on X/Twitter (mandatory) and LinkedIn (mandatory), TikTok (Mandatory). Cross-posting to Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube is encouraged.
