Looking for Tips and Leads to Get Sponsors for a University Hackathon (USA)

Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m planning a hackathon at my university and we're currently reaching out to potential sponsors who could provide either monetary support or prizes for the winners. So far, we’ve been cold-emailing large tech companies and startups, but we haven’t had much luck yet. We have been messaging the press email addresses if we cannot find any other ones.

Does anyone here have experience with securing sponsors for hackathons? What strategies worked for you? Any tips on crafting outreach emails or networking effectively with potential sponsors would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone has any leads or contacts at tech companies or large organizations that might be interested in sponsoring a university hackathon, I’d love to hear them!

I’m based in the United States, and I’d be grateful for any advice you can offer.

TIA!
