A crowdsourcing platform for Product and UX geeks

UX Hack is a crowdsourcing and hackathon platform where companies post live UX challenges based on the problems they are currently facing. These challenges are then solved by a pool of motivated professionals who are looking to build a rewarding professional profile in user thinking skills. Companies get to evaluate those in unbiased way. We help provide win-win outcomes to both companies and professionals through a mix of manual and automated workflows.
