This weekend, Context.IO brought down 15 hackers, designers and biz dev specialists from Montreal (and Ottawa!) to Boston to participate in AngelHack!
The teams pivoted, iterated and reiterated down to the last possible moment. And Montreal came out winning! Four of our teams made into the East coast Top 20, and two teams; MD Share and LuckSpark, were included in the East Cost top 10 teams! LuckSpark got an extra special nod from Facebook by winning best use of their API, on either East coast or West! Here are a few shots of our Montreal teams in action:
This first shot is from last week’s Startup Drinks Montreal, where some of us got together to brainstorm before Friday morning’s departure:
From left to right: SJ (me! in the turquoise top), Marc Beaupre from Startupifier, Joyce Lam, Vlad Sedach, Alfred and Rex from AdCNX, a little bit of Marie-Helene Halle's and Cheryl Tom's heads, and Philippe Demers
Our Context.IO t-shirts were a hit…
Here’s one of team LuckSpark (name subject to change!), selected for the Facebook API award:
L to R: Cheryl, Philippe, Marie-Helene, Cordis and Joyce
MD Share, one of the East coast top 10, present to the judges on Sunday night:
Team Ottawa joined forces with some Harvard psychiatrists to build “Psyri,” an app to help manage client/doctor relationships for depressed patients:
Thanks to all the awesome Montreal/Ottawa teams that came down! We had an awesome time with you all… see you at the next hackathon!
