AlgoNation 2026 · Sponsorship open
Back a title category and your name rides on the tees our candidates wear, on this site, across our social channels, and on stage at every offline event of the season.
Sponsorship here is a printing decision, not a logo dump. Each category is a specific rectangle of fabric, and every rectangle is sold once.

Every candidate in the season wears one. Your placement is printed, not pinned — it goes to class, to the metro, to the hostel, to the internship.
Category holders sit on the home page, the track pages and the backers wall for the full season, with a link back to you.
Announcements, build-week recaps, results and the season wrap film — your category is named in the formats that actually travel.
Campus meets, demo days and the finale. Stage backdrop, banners, certificates and the trophies your track hands out.
Claim an open category at its asking price. Take a held one by paying above whoever holds it — their contribution stays in the campaign, the placement moves to you.

AlgoNation is a season of build weeks, engineering tracks and offline meets for India's student and early-career engineers. AlgoNation 2026 is funded by sponsors, whose brands are printed on the tees every candidate wears and featured across the site, social channels and events.
Sponsorship starts at $20 and the headline slot opens at $7,500. There are 9 categories: Title Sponsor ($7,500), Powered By ($4,000), Track Sponsor ($2,000), Sleeve Sponsor ($1,250), Collar Tag ($900), Back Panel Strip ($600), Campus Partner ($450), Community Backer ($75), Friend of AlgoNation ($20). The season goal is $30,000.
Tee printing for every candidate, venue and logistics for the offline meets, prize pools for each track, and the production that turns build weeks into something worth watching. The $30,000 goal is the full season budget.
You keep your place on the backers wall and your contribution still counts toward the goal — only the scarce slot moves to the higher backer. Anything already printed stays printed, and we email you the moment it happens so you can decide whether to take it back.
Because there is exactly one front chest on a tee. A fixed price means it goes to whoever fills the form first; an open one means it goes to whoever values it most, and the difference goes into the season instead of into scarcity.
Indian students and early-career engineers — the largest young tech population in the world. Our candidates come from engineering campuses across the country, and they are the people your hiring and developer-relations teams are already trying to reach.
Yes. The Community Backer and Friend of AlgoNation tiers exist for exactly that, and they are not competitive — nobody can outbid you out of them.
If we cannot deliver a placement you paid for, we refund it in full. Write to contact@algonation.org with your reference number and we will sort it out.
Pick the category you want before someone else prices you out of it.
