The Beginner route
Four weeks to turn an idea into a working product, with other Dutch builders alongside you. Colosseum is online, from September 14 to October 12, 2026.
You can start without an idea or a team. Developers, designers, and people who understand a problem are all welcome.
Register your project on Colosseum
Create an account, then join the hackathon in Arena. An account alone does not register you. Set your country to Netherlands and include Solana in your selected chains if you're building on it.
Import your project into the HQ
Log in to Superteam NL HQ to import your project from Colosseum.

A simple build plan
- Week 1: Build the core. Pick one user problem and get the main flow working.
- Week 2: Test with people. Watch someone use it. Fix what gets in their way.
- Week 3: Refine the product. Improve the demo and collect evidence of what users find useful.
- Week 4: Prepare your submission. Record your pitch and demo, check access to every link, and submit early.
What to show the judges
Explain who needs your product, what you learned from them, and why your team can build it. Show the product working and how it could become a business.
Before you submit
- Add every team member to the Colosseum project.
- Prepare a clear pitch and a separate technical demo. Check the current format and time limits in Arena.
- Make the app, videos, deck, and repository accessible to reviewers.
- Disclose work completed before the hackathon and identify what you built during it.
Your team lead submits the project on Colosseum. Expressing interest with Superteam NL does not submit your project.
