01 / Why partnerA first edition, not a franchise
A first editionis a rare thingto shape.
HackMeld is building its first hackathon from zero in Hangzhou. A partner can help make the conditions real: a room, a mentor, a working API, a safe and well-fed day.
We are not looking for a logo wall. We are looking for support that makes the build possible — and a relationship that can be described accurately in public.
A
Shape a real first attempt
Help a student team find out what happens when an idea has a deadline and a working demo.
B
Reach builders early
Meet students before they have specialised, while curiosity is still wider than a career plan.
C
Support the work, not the pitch
Put resources into the build, the safety and the feedback — not only the final stage.
02 / Partnership tracksPossibilities / nothing confirmed
Five waysto help.
Each track describes a possible shape, not an offer. Any partnership will be written down, scoped and confirmed before it is named on this site.
No partners, sponsors or endorsements are announced.
02
Technology partnerships

- — Credits or API access
- — A mentor session
- — A tool walkthrough
- — Equipment on loan
03
Media partnerships
Coverage of the build process, not just the final pitch — with consent from every student involved.
- — A process story
- — A student interview with consent
- — Event documentation
04

- — Connect mentors
- — Offer a space
05

Cash or in-kind support for food, venue, safety, equipment and participant materials.
- — Fund a specific line item
- — Provide a resource
- — Support operations
03 / What the first edition needsResources, not logos
Usefulsupport.
Cash helps, but it is not the only useful thing. A room, a mentor, a working API key or a reliable lunch can change what the first edition is able to do.
01
Venue and access
A weekend space in Hangzhou with room for teams, two judging areas and a quiet space for guardian conversations.
02
Power and network
Stable power, a second network path and enough bandwidth for a room full of teams using AI tools.
03
Compute and tools
Age-appropriate model access, developer credits or hardware that students can use lawfully during the event.
04
Mentors and judges
Practitioners who can ask useful questions, give technical feedback and declare conflicts of interest.
05
Food and operations
Lunch, water, snacks, basic equipment and the unglamorous logistics that let students stay focused.
06
Media and documentation
Photography, video and process documentation with explicit consent and a clear takedown route.
04 / What we will not tradeThe limits of any partnership
The limitsof the deal.
Support is welcome. Control over the outcome, the students or the facts is not for sale.
01
Independent judging.
No sponsor decides a score, a winner or a selection. Judges with a conflict of interest step away.
02
Student data stays protected.
No partner gets participant personal data. Collection is minimised and access is restricted.
03
Logo permission is written.
No logo is displayed without written permission. No partnership is announced before it is real.
04
Claims stay factual.
We do not sell certificates, imply endorsements or describe an unconfirmed event as a confirmed programme.
05 / ContactNo public inbox published yet
