Hackathon and project mentoring, 45 min with Suryansh Mishra

For a team going into a hackathon, or a student with a project that needs to become something worth showing.

In 45 minutes: we cut the idea down to what can be demoed in the time you have, decide the stack that will not fight you, split the work across the team, and plan the two-minute pitch around the one thing judges remember. If you already have a build, bring it and we fix the demo path and the story.

I have won three national hackathons and lost more, so I know which mistakes cost the win: over-scoping, a demo that depends on wifi, and a pitch that starts with the tech instead of the problem. Bring the problem statement and whatever exists so far.
