List of hackathons in New Haven, United States in 2017

Goal of the hackathon Help InsurTech startups and entrepreneurs generate and refine a business plan and identify steps to take their ideas to the next level. Why a hackathon? Hackathons are known for their ability to stimulate creative, free-flowing ideas. By working with others, people are able to connect and create in ways they would not do by themselves.
