It's not surprising to see this post from Lob; the first time I heard of them was actually at HackDuke, and then again at HackVirginia. I think they do an excellent job sponsoring hackathons, and the advice here reflects that. I especially encourage companies that sponsor hackathons to offer live customer support; I remember needing to get information that wasn't available online (for a different company) during HackDuke, and just being frustrated that there were no representatives or support offered at 2 a.m. One thing that they didn't mention in the article, though is offering samples. Lob and Twilio gave away credit to use their services, and that played a huge part in whether or not teams actually used their products.
