For corporate innovation

An internal hackathon platform for corporate innovation

Turn a company-wide innovation day into projects that ship. Hackathon by Slingshot runs internal challenges end to end — cross-department teams, checkpoints your managers can watch, executive judging, and the analytics HR needs to prove it worked.

Most internal hackathons fizzle after the kickoff email

An all-hands innovation day is easy to announce and hard to run. Employees sign up, teams half-form across departments, and two weeks later nobody can say what shipped or what it was worth.

  • Sign-ups scattered across email and intranet threads
  • Cross-department teams that never actually connect
  • No visibility for managers, and no numbers for HR afterward

From kickoff to a board-ready recap

Everything an internal program needs to start strong and finish measured.

01

One internal sign-up, every department

A single branded registration page and form collects participants across the org, with the fields you need — department, role, and idea area.

02

Cross-department team formation

A looking-for-team pool and invite codes help people find collaborators outside their own floor, and organizers rebalance rosters with one click.

03

Checkpoints managers can watch live

Teams self-report daily progress and managers see the whole challenge as a live heatmap — no status meeting required.

04

Executive judging without the spreadsheet

Leaders score submissions against weighted rubrics; normalization keeps a tough VP and a generous director comparable, and conflict flags keep it clean.

05

Analytics HR can report on

Participation, completion, and outcome numbers give HR and innovation leads a recap that stands up in a board deck.

Frequently asked questions

Is our data kept private and secure?
Yes. Your data lives in its own isolated workspace on Slingshot infrastructure, is backed up daily, and can be exported as CSV at any time — it is always yours.
Can we match our company branding?
Custom branding — your logo, colors, and cover on every page — is built in, so an internal event looks like it belongs on your intranet.
Can employees run it fully in Arabic?
Yes. Every screen ships in English and Arabic with true right-to-left layout, so a bilingual workforce uses whichever they prefer.
How do we measure whether it worked?
Built-in analytics track sign-ups, team completion, submissions, and judged outcomes, giving you concrete numbers on engagement and results.
