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. Hackathons are known as marathon coding competitions aimed at solving particular issues. This hackathon will not involve coding. Regardless, we encourage coders and non-coders to attend. Who can attend? The event is open to anyone with interest in InsurTech. If you are in idea stage or revenue generating, the event is open to you. If you welcome even if do not have an InsurTech idea. People looking to participate in helping the InsurTech Hartford start-up community are welcome. To learn more about InsurTech, visit the InsurTech Hartford website.
