**Why do it?**

Anything that gets the idea out of your head, the team on your list, and the contracts deployed is one more step toward understanding what it means to be an entrepreneur. Hackathons are that catalyst — and few in crypto offer the rewards of Colosseum.

By taking steps toward our goals we create the actual momentum needed to reach them. At the end you get a result — you're either closer or further than you imagined, but still further ahead than if you'd just stayed still.

**Who's it for?**

Anyone who wants to build a business on Solana. That means anyone — there's no specific track you have to build for. As long as you have a solid MVP and a clear path as a business, you'll be ahead of the competition.

**OK, where do I sign up?**
