eBay Inc Opportunity Hack was created by a cross-functional team at eBay with an idea of bringing together volunteer participants, including employees, with nonprofit organizations to create positive impact.

This year the hackathon event will take place at eBay Inc. Bangalore office, on November 8th & 9th, beginning at 9:00 am on November 8th.

During the hackathon, participants will work together with non-profit representatives to help implement technology solutions to some of their real, day-to-day challenges. 

We invite you to apply to have a project included in the event as a non-profit or volunteer to build a generic tool/app or participate as a hacker to support one of the submitted ideas.
