Women's Business Hackathon · Iowa

Forty Iowa women founders, eight tables, one day! At 9:00am each table of five gets one real small business problem, and by 2:00pm it has a working solution. Within 30 days all eight go live on Tangram, and every attendee gets every one. Themes: getting paid, finding customers and getting time back. Doors open at 8:30am; out by 2:45pm for school pickup! Lunch and coffee included, and $2,500 in prizes goes to the tables. Runs every quarter.
