About
Galuxium Nexus V2 is a global hackathon where builders create real SaaS products designed to generate revenue.
Most hackathons end with a pitch deck and a dead repository. Nexus V2 is where software becomes enterprise.
We are shifting the paradigm from throwaway prototypes to live, monetizable digital infrastructure. This is a global, elite-tier engineering arena where elite developers, high-caliber designers, and technical founders converge to build fully functional, revenue-generating SaaS platforms. From advanced autonomous AI systems and next-generation creator tools to hyper-scalable workflow automation, the mandate is absolute: Build software the world will actually pay for.
The Architecture of the Arena-
Production-Scale Engineering: Move beyond isolated code. Build high-availability, secure architectures designed to withstand real-world traffic.
-
Viable Monetization Dynamics: Every line of code must serve a market need. Focus on user onboarding, payment gateway integration, and sustainable business loops.
-
Elite Resource Access: Participants are equipped with enterprise-grade development tools, including specialized production-ready AI endpoints backed by global tech leaders.
-
Beyond the Finish Line: Winning teams do not just claim a prize pool; they unlock direct capital, elite executive mentorship, and distribution infrastructure through Galuxium to launch their platforms into live markets.
Nexus V2 is exclusively designed for the relentless—whether you are an engineering student pushing the boundaries of system design, an established developer launching your next venture, or a product architect obsessed with seamless user experience.
Stop building prototypes. Build a company.
Requirements
To ensure your platform qualifies for the Grand Judging Panel and elite track evaluation, all teams must submit a complete, deployment-ready product portfolio. Submissions that fail to meet these premium benchmarks will be disqualified from the selection process.
1. Production-Ready Deployment (Live Demo)
The SaaS application must be fully hosted on a public cloud provider or edge network (e.g., Vercel, AWS, GCP, Fly.io).
-
The Benchmark: The link must be live, stable, and fully accessible to the judging panel.
2. Verifiable Infrastructure (Code Repository)
A comprehensive, public GitHub repository containing the entire codebase for the project.
-
The Benchmark: The repository must feature a professional README.md detailing the system architecture, tech stack dependencies, database schemas, and clear instructions for local replication. Commit histories must reflect authentic collaboration.
3. Operational MVP (Working Prototype)
A functional, end-to-end Minimum Viable Product demonstrating your platform’s core value proposition.
-
The Benchmark: The prototype must successfully execute its primary user workflows, handle authentic state management, and demonstrate structural viability under live user testing.
4. Executive Briefing (Project Documentation)
A pristine, clutter-free text breakdown detailing the business and technical anatomy of the software. You must clearly articulate:
-
The Market Friction: The exact enterprise or consumer pain point being addressed.
-
The Architecture: A high-level explanation of how your system solves the problem efficiently and securely.
-
The Target Cohort: The specific user segment or demographic destined to adopt this software.
5. Fiscal Architecture (Monetization Engine)
A detailed blueprint outlining how the SaaS platform is structurally designed to capture market value and generate recurring revenue.
-
The Benchmark: Clearly define your platform's financial framework whether driven by usage-based API billing, multi-tier subscription models (SaaS), or transactional platform fees.
6. Technical Keynote (Product Demo Video)
A high-impact, 2-to-5 minute video presentation showcasing your software in action.
-
The Benchmark: This cinematic or high-resolution screencast must bypass fluff to immediately demonstrate the live system design, UI/UX workflow, and key feature execution.
⚠️ Critical Mandate: Submissions without a high-quality product demo video will be deemed incomplete and will not be eligible for grading, prize eligibility, or Devpost panel synchronization.
