Angelhack Toronto

by Tony Blank on May 20, 2013

Context.IO sponsored another terrific Angelhack this weekend in Toronto. There were over 150 participants in attendance at the MaRS Centre.

That’s quite an amazing turnout considering the long, holiday weekend for Victoria Day! Angelhack CEO, Greg Gopman, was on-site distributing Nerf guns, light sabers, and remote controlled helicopters when hackers needed to step away from their laptops and take a break. The teams created some amazing projects in the 24 hours.

There were some terrific hacks that used Context.IO, but the team that won created Bentoll, a versioning cloud service that manages personal storage and email attachments. Context.IO did all the heavy lifting between the inbox and Bentoll. Congrats to Kevin He and Edward Yang! They won an AppleTV and $100 iTunes gift card.

Overall, Angelhack Toronto was a fabulous event. Thanks to all the volunteers and organizers who made this possible. Context.IO will be at upcoming Angelhacks in New York, Boston, Austin, Sydney, and Washington D.C. Hopefully we’ll see you there!
