”Last weekend A Hack 2013 Helsinki took part at Urban Mill. Seven teams from Estonia and Finland were working with a number of mentors from various countries for three days to develop and get feedback on their ideas, extend their business knowledge and get advice and improve their pitch. The winner of the final pitching gets to introduce their idea at Shlush. We really enjoyed the open atmosphere and facilities that Urban Mill provided us with. It was the prefect location for our event and we are very grateful for the hospitality!”
The sad fact is that 90% of startups fail. They e.g. fail because they lack the experience to survive in a tough economy, and they fail because they don’t get the money and help they need.
A Hack helped seven teams during the weekend 8.-10.11.2013 to avoid those destinies.
Teams worked alongside experts to build a prototype or develop a product. The winners (not decided yet) get to pitch their idea to 2000 investors at this year’s SLUSH in Helsinki.
