#Hack2030Now+SocialGood

What: What do you get when you mash technology entrepreneurship focused on rapid scalability together with social entrepreneurship focused on long-term positive societal impact?

With mobile devices enabling the majority of the human population to access the Internet, the barriers to transformational entrepreneurship continue to decline. What is impeding such potential is not a dearth of ideas or resources, but a dearth of execution. Over a single weekend, you have the opportunity to build and launch a transformational startup, one with a strong business case and strong potential to transform for the better. The New York innovation community will provide you the tools you will need; you only need supply the ambition to do well and do good.
We are seeking sponsors (for APIs, food, and prizes), presenters (for opening and closing remarks), and judges (business, technology, and policy), so if you are interested or know someone who is, please e-mail Yangbo Du at yangbodu@alum.mit.edu.
