Who Are the Mentors?
We invite technical experts from the fields of technology, data, and business to join DATASPRINT, presented by Visa - including developers, data analysts, AI/ML specialists, data engineers, and cybersecurity experts.
We are looking for individuals who want to share their knowledge, inspire, and support teams in developing solutions powered by Visa data.
Do you have experience in data analysis, digital product development, smart city initiatives, fintech, or emerging technologies? Perfect - we want you! We value both deep expertise and fresh perspectives, as well as openness to collaboration.
What Do Mentors Do?
The role of a mentor is simple - you help teams turn their ideas into real, valuable solutions. We expect mentors to:
- Share their knowledge and experience
- Provide guidance on technical and business challenges
- Ask insightful questions that inspire further thinking
- Support teams in decision-making and keeping the right direction
Mentors act as guides and partners in the process - they don’t create solutions for the teams, but help them reach the next level.
Mentor Availability
Mentoring takes place on-site during the event. Your active presence and availability for teams, especially during key moments of the hackathon, are essential. Exact hours will be arranged individually to ensure a comfortable schedule for both parties.
