Your National AngelHack Winners: Appetas, GiveGo, And ShareBrowse
This summer's AngelHack was a little more ambitious than your average hackathon. Instead of holding one event in one location over one weekend, it held hackathons in four different cities (Seattle, Silicon Valley, Boston, and New York), then allowed the winning teams to refine their products for three weeks before coming to Palo Alto and competing in the final event last night.I was one of the judges, along with Right Side Capital's David Lambert, AngelPad's Thomas Korte, Istanta Capital's Matt Oguz, Google Ventures' Wesley Chan, and Facebook's Austen Haugen. (Oh, and TechCrunch's Josh Constine was the event "host", which meant that he introduced each presenter and cracked jokes while they took the stage.) The judging felt a little odd, because the presentations and products were much more polished than what I've seen at other hackathons. At the same time, they weren't full-fledged companies yet, either.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/klU4_PgECks/
