I know it's not exactly the point, but I'm curious if sometimes large startups happen at hackathans... Have there been (and if so which ones) startups that were created literally at a hackathon?
(meaning didn't exist before, hackathon happened where it was built, then it existed and continued as a startup company around that exact code.)
- sayangel 12y agoI swear I'm not paid by TechCrunch for this stuff: http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/11/from-disrupt-ny-to-a-43-million-skype-acquisition-groupme-tells-all/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/11/from-disrupt-ny-to-a-43-mil... GroupMe started at the Disrupt Hackathon. But also startups don't just happen over night and the code will probably change drastically once you scale haha. Scalability isn't the primary focus at most hackathons :)
