[AlgoArena Team]

Hi there,

I'm Eli, co-founder of AlgoArena (https://u56123228.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.GSBinoX6HJWiAN0hfsfklLZd2K6sQvZJDFS2a3pO5Qj6oEDSjcFHz3UQNtduq3q6wzEo_b-2Fb9pt9xKHnxuD6lw99EEi6txCK6K6Oo0jzvdLxiMqoqpsFNupmG4sFU8KjoYYrvbf60C-2F-2B0OG48di7yO11CvdUJz9jUgcgPJ2CIBGB-2B4nc5TRXnmlO-2BmC3MBZFy3hxoP1dqY9IuJRFPYbndM-2FtkiNLkUqZ8xrRMC0soLsxtjL-2F95utVlulllkf-2FfVBk40Fc7Z7DTD5TBTrAsCrwOEKkK9pSoT-2F5-2F11gZU3l1qmP7gI-3D My co-founder Andy and I built this platform to transform how people learn, build, and prove CS skills, from the classroom to the career.

Our flagship is real-time 1v1 coding battles with ELO matchmaking across 5,000+ problems in 16 languages. LeetCode meets Chess.com, competitive programming as a sport. 1,000+ matches, 500+ users. We're also launching weekly bracket tournaments with cash prizes.

We're building four products your readers would find relevant.

1. Compete. The 1v1 battles, ELO rankings, global leaderboard, and upcoming cash-prize tournaments.

2. Learn (https://u56123228.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.GSBinoX6HJWiAN0hfsfklNekJ4WQgtZSYOc-2BWsHIucVs0KTYxBKCxu-2BFzQhTA1W6NwKK_b-2Fb9pt9xKHnxuD6lw99EEi6txCK6K6Oo0jzvdLxiMqoqpsFNupmG4sFU8KjoYYrvbf60C-2F-2B0OG48di7yO11CvckL-2F1SS8-2BpvFMRVz5ubcQIk4dGp9QKz4RIX29MelreA9kYMoSxpY5JJ883aCAgjjnQ36evDK3QLV7uGBcakBkMHjLe-2FjCNu1TTTqBfWeSawN7zbZbnfF3uSVHpgCjTpqGGwCp6PCKBkMGJtQ1L5I7s-3D Kahoot-style live CS sessions, practice roadmaps, and interactive puzzle-based learning that teaches computational thinking without requiring syntax memorization.

3. Build (coming soon). Gamified AI courses that teach prompt engineering through progressively harder puzzles, plus an agentic builder where anyone can create real apps and export to GitHub. No coding background needed.

4. Prove (https://u56123228.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.GSBinoX6HJWiAN0hfsfklLe02vvY9sRKnqapUXbwi5LBmY6hv-2BJzklf-2BwVDaNU4aQtO4_b-2Fb9pt9xKHnxuD6lw99EEi6txCK6K6Oo0jzvdLxiMqoqpsFNupmG4sFU8KjoYYrvbf60C-2F-2B0OG48di7yO11CvWPd74QiZiB-2F3Cu9exx29qrCWGSAGxdApkJKH199Zw91aVIW8uLkxf-2FUn8QD6tvcKE6IDzCY4YnSIcS0yOgIwe3Ff56OCeYpg04pgO6Ud9-2BfXV3dK-2BIP06NaZqHHqCsdRVKj1ej3-2B1gO-2BRRyPZA3NtM-3D AI-native assessments with a full coding environment, AI tools, session replay, and model benchmarking. There's a massive disconnect between how developers actually work and how they're tested. We capture how candidates prompt, multitask, and build, not just whether they memorized algorithms.

I'm a fan of lkml.wtf: Home and would love to explore sponsoring an edition or placing a short feature.

Could you share your sponsorship options and rates?

Best,
