The FinTech Hack @ATDC will give the winner(s) critical post-hack engagement, mentoring & support to build viable companies.
The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at Georgia Tech is partnering with Worldpay US, Yodlee, and NCR to host the “FinTech Hack @ATDC.” This is more than your typical hackathon. The FinTech Hack @ATDC wants to help entrepreneurs, developers, and designers take their ideas to the next level by providing the critical post-hack engagement, mentoring, and support to build viable startup companies. And yes… there will be cash, gadgets, food, and swag, too. The total value of all prizes combined is worth more than $85,000. The Grand Prize alone is valued at $73,000. The FinTech Hack @ATDC is the first by ATDC’s FinTech program powered by Worldpay US. Ultimately, participants will decide which ideas to work on using the APIs of our sponsors. They can work on their own projects or work on challenges presented to them by Worldpay US, Yodlee, and NCR. We will present our sponsors’ challenges on Oct. 23. Discount codes of 50 percent for students use: STUDENT; developers use: ATLDEV, and designers use: ATLDES.
