Sky Hacker: Passion Pitch Party | Workshop. Hack. Dinner. Pitch. Party
📣 NOTE: Based on participants' interests during this busy week, we changed from the 2-day (Thursday & Friday) Hackathon to this one-day (Friday) pitch party.
🚀 Turn Your Most Ambitious Passion Into a Startup Pitch! Dream it. Pitch it. Roast it. Realize it.
🚀 Why Join?
