These people wouldn't be living on hackathon prize money if they could actually build viable products in a few days.

  The idea of jurors about viability has nothing to do with reality. In fact many unicorns did very poorly at hackathons. I for one would totally bash something like AirBnB: who would lease a bedroom in his house to a complete stranger from the internet, are you crazy?

      I know! Isn't it a lot easier to be wise after the facts? :-)
