We'd like to thank Joyent and Nodejitsu for being platinum sponsors.
Platinum sponsors cover the vast majority of the cost of putting on Node Knockout. Without our platinum sponsors, this competition could not take place.
In addition to unlimited access to the items described in the a la carte options below, platinum sponsors get their logo on every page of the website.
We work closely with platinum sponsors to integrate their services seemlessly into Node Knockout in ways that benefit the competition as a whole.
We have just one remaining platinum sponsorship opportunity available. Contact us if you're interested.
Companies who do not take advantage of a platinum sponsorship opportunity may elect to take advantage of one of the a la carte sponsorship options outlined below.
A la carte sponsors do not get logos on the sidebar of the website. This is reserved for our limited set of platinum sponsors.
During the competition, contestants will be looking for infrastructure and software as a service products to accelerate their projects. They need anything from databases and fast key-value stores to message queues and continuous integration.
Offering your service to contestants during the competition and judging is a great way to get developers using your product.
When you sponsor a service, we will promote it to developers for the competition and work with you to ensure that developers are able to use the service during the competition and judging.
In addition, if you provide an article about how to get started using your service, we will publish it on our blog. Here's an example from last year.
Want to let Node Knockout participants know that you're hiring? Then get a spot on our job list. Participants will receive an email after the competition with information about the available jobs.
In addition, any expert judges from your company will have a badge on their votes that lets participants know they are hiring. This is a great way to start a relationship with developers who may be looking for new opportunities.
The prize page is one of the most visted pages on the website.
If you've got a product that contestants would love to use after they're done coding, what better way to promote it than awarding it as a prize to winners?
When you sponsor a prize, we'll work with you to get the prize that you're providing on the prize page (example prizes from last year).
