Team building is one of the most important parts of a hackathon. The best projects are created when great hackers come together. Even though this is a relatively straightforward process, it still isn't as accessible as it could be. At most hackathons it's facilitated through a Facebook group or a mixer at the event. Only the most enthusiastic and experienced people go out and form groups. But what if your team came to you?

The concept of Team Builder is centered around the idea of direct matching based on each hacker's interest. Everyone looking for a team has something in mind- it's just a matter of finding out who else is thinking the same thing.

Using Team Builder, each hacker creates a personalized profile that details their ideas, skills, and interests. The app finds others at the event who share the same vision and returns those with the most similarities. Hackers can check each other's profile and immediately get in touch if they see potential for a great project.

Not only does Team Builder make it simpler for participants to connect with each other, it also makes it more accessible. In the end, everyone spends less time finding a team and more time building an awesome hack.
