Collaborating with BeMyApp for Tech Events
Building the right team is the first step to a smooth hackathon. At the Tech Seller 8 events, we teamed up with BeMyApp, and their expertise quickly made a difference. Right from the start, we put a focus on early collaboration. We didn’t just want an event manager—what we needed was a partner who would dive in, understand our technology, and become part of the process.
BeMyApp spent time before the event learning about our product: what it does, how it could make a difference, and why developers should care. This hands-on approach built a sense of shared understanding and made it easy for them to represent us authentically to their community.
With that groundwork in place, BeMyApp became fully blended into the event flow. Their team managed not only the logistics, but also the outreach that fired up excitement across social media channels. When other event providers or sponsors joined in, they quickly got the full picture of what we wanted—the right people, the right themes, the right results.
BeMyApp’s Contributions at a Glance

The Role of Communication and Clear Objectives in Hackathons
A great hackathon begins long before the doors open. Clear objectives and steady communication set the foundation for everything that follows. Before our event, we made sure BeMyApp understood every aspect of our goals—from what we hoped to see during the competition to how we wanted to connect with winners and participants afterward.
This up-front alignment made the event run much more fluidly. Everyone knew their roles, the story behind our technology, and what success would look like at the finish line.
Aiming for clarity before, during, and after the hackathon also improved the experience for attendees and partners alike. When everyone’s rowing in the same direction, you avoid confusion and set a positive tone that carries through the whole project.
Important Points to Communicate With Partners
- The intentions for running the hackathon (raising awareness, developing prototypes, recruiting talent, etc.)
- What outcomes matter most to your team
- How you hope to engage with participants during and after the event
Putting these ideas up front not only smooths the path on event day, but makes follow-up stronger and helps maintain relationships beyond the finish.

Resource Efficiency Through Collaboration with BeMyApp
Anyone who has tried to organize a hackathon from scratch knows the effort involved. Every detail adds up: venue selection, branding, attendee communication, mentor management, technology support. For smaller or growing businesses, this can feel like a mountain to climb.
That’s why teaming up with an expert partner makes so much sense. BeMyApp took on the heavy lifting, handling logistics so our team could focus on what mattered most: showcasing our solutions and engaging with the developer community.
Their established reach into the developer network proved invaluable. By leveraging their communities and established intellectual property (workshops, recruitment tools, communication practices), we introduced our technology to far more participants, much more quickly, than we could have on our own.
Their help didn’t end at the event’s finish line. Because they kept communications smooth and outcomes clear, we saw measurable results: more engaged developers, higher-quality collaborations, and faster product adoption.
For businesses in scale-up mode, this kind of support is golden. You save time and cash, expand your message, and build relationships with a broader technical audience.

Extending the Relationship Beyond Hackathons
What made our partnership with BeMyApp especially valuable was how it grew over time. Hackathons weren’t the only tool in the box—they also supported us on smaller-scale activities like technical meetups and other developer-centric gatherings. This kept our brand present in the developer world and let us stay connected without always having to run a major event.
Working together has let us expand globally too. BeMyApp helped us build teams and community links in multiple countries, offering a much-needed boost in places where our own resources were limited.
Types of Ongoing Activities With BeMyApp
- Organizing and promoting developer meetups
- Coordinating hackathons in new markets
- Running interactive community engagement sessions
- Offering online workshops and technical webinars
This kind of ongoing support doesn’t just maintain relationships. It builds trust with new developers, grows our footprint in different regions, and helps keep our technology top of mind.
As the relationship matured, we found that collaboration became easier and more natural. Trust had been built, processes were in place, and our teams could act quickly to create new opportunities together.
