Pulso Hackathon Q&A session with Stellar ambassadors Derek, Isamar, and Pedro addressing builder questions about the 10-day competition (June 20-30). Discussion covers integration requirements with approved Stellar partner projects, user interview validation for real-world solutions, and regional pitch events in São Paulo, Bogotá, and Buenos Aires leading to Stellar Summit opportunities.
Pulso Hackathon, a 10-day builder sprint ending June 30, is the focus of this Spanish-language Q&A Space with Stellar ambassadors Derek, Isamar, and Pedro from Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. Derek, a veteran hackathon organizer with 150+ events, emphasizes user interviews and market validation over technical perfection. Teams must integrate with approved Stellar partner projects and build real-world solutions addressing community problems—payments, on-ramps, commerce, etc. Top projects pitch in São Paulo, Bogotá, and Buenos Aires, with winners receiving funded trips to Stellar Summit and Stellar House to present to investors and potential partners. The Space addresses builder questions about existing project participation, valid integrations, partner project access, and how market validation drives evaluation.
