From Hackathon To HACKcelerator: Meet The Teams

All of these teams attended one of our global series hackathons, kicked ass and won their respective event, receiving an invitation into the HACKcelerator. Over the next 12 weeks they will learn how to turn their project into a full fledged startup through our curriculum, with the help of local and global mentors.

Starting August 1st our batch will begin the rigorous grind of our pre-accelerator in hopes of making it to our annual Global Demo Day. (Check out these past teams who went from GDD to startup success.) We are extremely proud of the awesome teams we have this year, and they hail from all corners of the globe with incredibly diverse and inspiring ideas.

So without further adieu, AngelHack presents the 9th Global Series victors entering the HACKcelerator.
