Sponsor a movement
Our approach is to attract top talent, be as inclusive and diverse as possible and not charge for attending any of our events. We could focus our energies on making a profit, instead we look to sponsors to make this global hackathon a reality so we can focus on facilitating the creation of world-changing social startups.
