Infrastructure for academic competitions

We are to academic olympiads what Stripe is to online payments and what Devpost is to hackathons — the operating layer that the organizers run on so they can focus on their subject, their students, and their sponsors.

Who we serve

Organizers are our customers. They run competitions — medical-school chapters running a national medicine & disease olympiad, university societies running an inter-school physics olympiad, edu nonprofits running a national maths league, ministries of education running a regional biology championship.

Students aged 14–19 are the end users. They register, sit qualifiers, see their leaderboard, advance to finals, pick up certificates. We care about their experience — that is what makes organizers come back — but they are not who we sell to.

Institutions are the trust layer. Universities awarding seats, ministries endorsing results, sponsors funding prizes — all need a platform with strong identity, integrity, and audit guarantees.

What we run

Each competition organizer runs on their own branded domain — smdolympiad.org for the Singapore Medicine & Disease Olympiad, sgphysicsleague.org for Singapore Physics, and so on. We handle the platform; the organizers own the brand.

Multi-country competitions are first-class. A regional olympiad can have per-country qualifying rounds with country-scoped question banks, then converge into a shared international finals round — all under the same competition entity.

Operated by Gillside

Arena League is operated by Gillside Solutions — a Singapore-based engineering studio that builds and runs vertical platforms. We are the team behind the cloud, the data residency, and the SLA you sign on the dotted line.
