Developer marclou secured $100,000 in sponsorship from Higgsfield to launch the "$100K Hackathon" starting November 16 — a 30-day contest judged on real profit, not app demos.
- Grand prize: $100,000 cash; 2nd prize iPhone Duo; 3rd prize MacBook Neo
- Rules: start a brand-new business on Nov 16, build a digital product (SaaS, directory, etc.), win by most profit (not revenue)
- Entry: $99 early registration, $149 once it starts
- Co-organized with @jackfriks, with manual verification of every potential winner's numbers
