What is Spotlight?

Spotlight is ETHGlobal's program for hackathon teams who have shipped beyond the Hackathon. Selected startups get curated exposure to our community of builders, investors, and ecosystem partners—plus hands-on support to present at Pragma and our Hackathon.

Real distribution

Featured across ETHGlobal channels reaching 200k+ builders, with placement in our startup directory and event programming.

Pitch readiness

Work with the ETHGlobal team on storytelling, deck polish, and live pitch coaching before you get your booth at our event.

User feedback loop

Connect with early adopters in the ecosystem who actually use onchain products—so you can iterate with signal, not guesses.

  1. Apply — Share your deployed project, deck, and demo video. Tell us why Spotlight is the right fit.
  2. Get selected — We review applications from recent ETHGlobal hackathon cohorts and pick teams ready for users.
  3. Train & showcase — Join pitch training, presence at Pragma and Hackathon, and grow your audience with ETHGlobal behind you.
