Mission Control
The HubSpot Space Systems Migration Challenge. A structured hackathon built around a realistic migration — same company, same messy data, same constraints for every team. Pre-register to be first to know when it opens.
Built on precision.
Mission Control is not a typical hackathon. Every team receives the same fictional company — OrbitalOps Systems — with the same messy data and the same constraints. Design the right HubSpot data model, migrate the data, preserve associations, handle edge cases, and leave the portal ready for real business operations.
Pre-register now →Four rules that make it fair.
Same scenario for every team
Everyone works from the same fictional company, the same data exports, the same constraints. No ambiguity, no subjectivity.
Build it inside HubSpot
Design the schema, create custom objects, map associations, and execute the migration. The portal is the deliverable.
Scored on measurable criteria
Migration accuracy, data quality, schema design, idempotency — not a pitch deck. Your portal speaks for itself.
For real HubSpot professionals
This is not a beginner workshop. It is a serious technical challenge for people who already work with HubSpot at depth.
Most hackathons reward presentation. This one rewards execution.
Winning is not decided by a panel watching demos. It is determined by objective evaluation of your HubSpot portal against defined rubrics.
Three things a level playing field makes possible.
One scenario for everyone
Every team gets the same company, the same data, the same mess. No gaming the format. The best implementation wins.
Measurable scoring
No demo theatre. Objective evaluation of the portal you actually built, against rubrics published in advance.
Realistic business context
OrbitalOps Systems is not a toy problem. It has the data complexity, edge cases, and operational requirements of a real B2B company.
The portal is the deliverable.
Plate 06 — OrbitalOps SystemsOrbitalOps Systems.
A fictional aerospace and industrial B2B company with real-world data complexity. OrbitalOps sells spacecraft and related systems, manages missions and customer programs, handles spare parts and inventory, and runs support, warranty, and service operations. Their data lives across legacy platforms, spreadsheets, and disconnected APIs. Your challenge: bring it all into HubSpot and make it work.
What teams will solve.
Data modeling and custom objects
Decide what belongs in standard HubSpot objects and what requires custom objects. Design the right schema.
Association architecture
Map every relationship — contacts to companies, deals to spacecraft, missions to spare parts. Associations are what make HubSpot usable.
Migration pipeline
Build a repeatable import process from CSV exports, API responses, and legacy data formats. Clean, transform, load — at scale.
Data cleanup and deduplication
Normalize inconsistent records, handle duplicates, fix formatting issues, and validate data integrity across objects.
Edge cases and exceptions
Orphaned records, circular references, missing required fields, conflicting data sources. Real data is messy. Handle it.
Operational readiness
The portal must be usable — workflows, views, reports, dashboards. A clean migration means nothing if the team cannot operate in it.
