Clout is a free, non-profit home for the builders nobody's heard of — surfaced on what they ship, not who they know.
Built on one belief: the founders with the least clout deserve the most recognition. Support us on Open Collective.
Devpost, Devfolio, MLH, DoraHacks, Hack Club — and more. Updated continuously so you never miss a new listing.
Pre-computed scorecard: what it actually is, prizes broken down by track, judging criteria, required team size, geo restrictions, effort estimate. No more reading fine print.
analysis scorecard
What it is, who's judging, what they're looking for, estimated effort. Read it in 30 seconds.
fit filter
Your profile, their requirements. Red badges surface hard stops before you spend time reading.
The feed is free. Set up a profile to unlock fit scoring and the builder network.
No credit card. No spam. Just events.
Set your profile once — travel preference, solo vs. team, location, student status. Events that conflict show a red flag. No surprises on signup day.
The builder network tracks event attendance. Find co-founders and collaborators for specific events before they fill up.
