One system for the event and the program that follows it
Disco is excellent at running the cohort once it exists. BuilderBase covers the step before it, sourcing builders through a hackathon or open call, then carries them into program management with sponsor ROI throughout.
The gaps organizers hit with Disco
Event-to-program continuum vs cohort-only LMS
Hackathon acquisition moment feeds programs
The hackathon that finds your cohort, feeding straight into the program that follows it.
Sponsor ROI layer Disco lacks
Sponsors fund the cohort and see what came of it. Disco is built for curriculum delivery, not sponsor reporting.
One system: events + programs
Sourcing, selection, and program delivery in one place, so nothing gets re-keyed between tools.
