👋 We need you to help us get the word out! We're in the early stages of planning our second HuddleHive 🐝 London hackathon, an event that will take place in early October. We're on the lookout for an office space or venue that can host between 100 and 150 people over a weekend! 🤔 Why should I trust HuddleHive? Our last event was incredibly successful with overwhelmingly positive feedback (check out the posts with the tag #huddlehivehack24). 98% of attendees said they would attend another hackathon run by us. We beat the industry average dropout rate by 31%. We know what we're doing - we've facilitated plenty of big hacks including the largest WIT hackathon in the UK. 🧐 What do I get? We treat hosts as top tier sponsors and offer all the perks that come with that (happy to take prospects through it all). The event is geared towards students and young professionals, this is a great way to support their career growth, get feedback on your tech, as well as meet some potential hires! 🙏 Please reach out if you can help (or tag/comment/react for reach if you can't).

Attending #NYTechWeek was a fantastic experience. Here are some of the highlights: Networking with Founders and Funders: Had a fantastic morning breakfast hosted by Republic where I got to connect with folks building incredible companies. There were some amazing founders in the room with huge missions and I'm excited to see them build. Eye-Opening Panel on Delegation: Went to a panel hosted by Double about why founders struggle to delegate (didn't think I needed this advice, but turns out I did). Hearing the panelists' experiences gave me great food for thought on how I'm spending my own time, what pieces of my daily work can be delegated, and how to improve some of our processes here at Worth Search. But honestly, the best part was the optimism buzzing around the NY Tech ecosystem. So many talented people with incredible ideas. It was awesome to get out of the office (aka my house) and meet some of these folks. Proud to be a small part of the NY Tech community for over a decade! What were some of your favorite moments from #NYTechWeek? Curious to hear more about people's experiences and also from anyone who hosted an event. Did you all find value in hosting?

Wild to see New York Tech Week be such a thing still 2 years later. When we started it at Capital, I had to fight, scratch, claw, and (sometimes) beg people and companies to host events. Didn't look like that publicly because we drove a ton of hype and momentum to it. Eventually, the hype becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. But the 0 to 1 to keep that hype going required a ton of effort. Now the whole thing has a momentum of it's own. For example, two companies that told me no to hosting events just invited me to their tech week events for this year. The lesson - drive enough momentum and eventually something becomes the default. Inevitable. Inevitability can be engineered.

π might be infinite, but our enthusiasm for hackathons is just as boundless. Here's our take on Pi Approximation Day to keep you motivated towards your constant efforts on building your streaks. Visit -> Link in the comment below 👇 #piapproximationday #22day

We want to bring tech communities together, it’s really that simple. We want to show high quality community stuff, less about quantity. Ever since I made the announcement on Monday for Vancouver Tech Week, we have had 16 tech communities apply to be a part of it. That gives us 16 events from AI, dev, design, product, and whatnot. I think in a thriving ecosystem you need the community to come together. Vancouver tech communities are already in silos. A tech week like this is a small effort to break down barriers and create connections within the different tech communities. So if you want to take part, RSVP: https://lu.ma/vtwv0
