Are you a startup building core, customer-facing B2B products on Databricks? Then we have a Challenge for you! On the heels of our Generative AI Startup Challenge last year, Databricks is thrilled to introduce the Built-On Databricks Startup Challenge – a competition with over $1M in prizes for early-stage startups who are building the most interesting, market-leading B2B applications on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
Sponsored by Databricks Ventures and Databricks for Startups and in collaboration with AWS and Plug and Play Tech Center, this is your chance to make a mark, gain unparalleled exposure and accelerate your journey to success.
The Built-On Databricks Startup Challenge is open to current Databricks customers who use Databricks as a core part of the architecture powering a customer-facing, B2B application.
Participating startups will be judged on how the startup is leveraging Databricks, the market potential for their offering, and the overall strength and experience of the founding team.
Competing in the Built-On Databricks Startup Challenge means you’ll be in the running for over $1 million in prizes. This includes:
Your startup will gain valuable visibility among industry leaders, potential investors and key stakeholders–including our illustrious panel of judges comprised of Andy Kofoid (Databricks President of Global Field Operations), Adam Conway (Databricks SVP of Product), George Mathew (Managing Director, Insight Partners), and Sarah Catanzaro (General Partner, Amplify Partners). With the Databricks category leadership in data and AI, the Challenge offers a unique stage to present your innovative ideas to a global audience and connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and experts.
Beyond the prizes, the Challenge provides invaluable resources and networking opportunities. Benefit from workshops, mentorship and feedback from top industry experts who can help refine your solution and strategy.
