List of hackathons in Rohnert Park, United States in 2016

This is a special hackathon for entrepreneurs and hackers to come together and launch a startup with a system that can engage with customers. Most entrepreneurs fail because they consume too much time in product development instead of the customers. Often entrepreneurs talk about how to raise the fund but less talk about how to create revenue and it's almost impossible to get investment without having customer and revenue. This hackathon will ask you to form a team and build a system that can engage with customers and make your startup ready for traction from investors!
