HOW IT WORKS
From problem to working software in three steps.
You don't need a specification. Describe the problem: what work takes your team too much time, what overview are you missing, which process runs on spreadsheets and loose emails? In 72 hours the team builds a working prototype of it.
- 01Bring a problem: an internal tool, a client portal, a dashboard, an app and more
- 02Talent and the Maua team build a working prototype of it in 72 hours
- 03Show it to management, adjust quickly, and book a free call if you want the full software
WHAT GETS BUILT
Your prototype, in the form that fits your problem.
Five forms, each with what a team built in that form in 72 hours during Volume 3, and a sixth made to measure for a problem that fits none of them.
01Platform with roles
One system, different users, each with their own screen. In Volume 3: a tourism app for East Java with separate roles for visitors, site managers and the head of the tourism office.
02Dashboard
Numbers that now sit in separate files, in one place. In Volume 3: a monitoring system that sets local revenue against visitor numbers, with a map layer and anomaly detection.
03Offline app
Works where there is no signal. In Volume 3: an app in which vocational students scan QR checkpoints across three zones of a technology park, fully offline and without personal data.
04Data collection
Input that works offline and syncs later. In Volume 3: household data collection that syncs to the village secretary, with an appeals process for residents.
05Traceable decisions
A system that shows why something was decided. In Volume 3: a village information system with transparent, auditable scoring for social aid and a public appeals channel.
06Made to measure
A concept fully made to measure. Your process, your users and your problem as the starting point.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
What exactly is Maua 72?
Maua 72 is a 72-hour online hackathon in which talent and the Maua team build working software around your problem: an app, a dashboard or an internal tool. You get something real to show management and adjust quickly. If you then want the full software, you book a free call with the team.
What kind of problems can I bring?
Work that takes too much time today or runs on loose files and emails: an internal tool, a client portal, a dashboard, a schedule, an app for your clients or staff. You don't need a specification: describe the problem and the team helps work out the form.
What kind of software gets built?
That depends on your problem. In Volume 3, teams built among other things a platform with separate roles, a monitoring dashboard, an offline app and an information system with an appeals channel. We choose the form that fits together.
What does it cost?
Taking part is free: an easy way to get a real prototype in hand before you commit to a full build. You sign up and straight after you get the steps by email.
What happens after I sign up?
You get a confirmation email with the steps up to the live Q&A on 23 October. We tell you honestly whether your problem fits in 72 hours.
Is it really fully online?
Yes. The whole hackathon runs online: the 72-hour build sprint and the live Q&A on 23 October. You can take part from anywhere, without travelling.
What do I get in the end?
A working prototype, a live Q&A with the build team and, if you want to go further, a free call about the full software.
