FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Philly Tech Week, April 20-28, is in full swing, and some of the city’s best and brightest technological minds and businesses are attending, according to a PTW announcement. This year’s theme is creating a “better Philadelphia through technology,” the announcement says. Philly Tech Week began with Startup Weekend.
What is Philly Tech Week?
Philly Tech Week is, according to the website, a celebration of the technological advances and innovations that come from the residents of Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs. Last year’s inaugural event had 4,000 attendees and 35 sponsors who signed up for this year. Its purpose is to use technology to help people improve Philadelphia, while increasing the effect that technology has on its citizens in the best way possible.
What is Startup Weekend?
Startup Weekend is a 54-hour brainstorming and programming session intending to create applications, according to a Technically Philly report. It brought out some 150 developers, designers and business people. The session challenged attendees, whether technically minded or not, to think up as many Web or mobile application ideas as possible that could work in the real world. Once a potential idea was agreed upon, they must design, code and complete the application before the end of the weekend.
What is the purpose of the Startup Weekend applications?
Once developed, the Web and mobile applications serve as the basis of a business startup, according to the Technically Philly report. After successfully creating working applications, the developers and businesspeople must craft a demo to show a judging panel that consists of the application and a business plan to show that the company can function properly.
Which applications won?
The participants created 18 applications, all of which led to viable, fully functioning companies. The first-place winner was Yagglo, a new gesture focused browser made specifically to work on the iPad. Its creators won a spot at Switch Philly 3 on Wednesday, when it will demo the project in the hopes of receiving interested venture capitalists. Second place went to a credit card recommendation service, Credit Cario, and third place went to Seed Invest, a Kickstarter-esque crowd funding application.
