Your idea, on the house. Your profit, your problem.

What's on this order?

A Hack Club YSWS where you run a business. First you code your business website for the required hours and submit it. Review 1 checks it, then you get starting funds, equal for everyone, plus a fixed amount of time, equal for everyone. Launch, sell, grow. Review 2 checks every business at the end, and the top 5 by verified earnings win prizes. No idea of your own? Businesses work like companies: founders open posts, and you get a post that fits your skills.

The hiring counter

Not everyone walks in with a business idea, and that's fine. A business works like a company: founders open posts, and people join in the post that matches their skills.

I've got an idea

Open your company, then list the posts you need filled. You can also build solo.

Post: designer
Post: developer
Post: ads + marketing

I've got skills, no idea

Get a post in someone's business based on what you're good at, then contribute your work to the team. It gets checked in Review 1.
