HackerFleet-a-thon: Hacking Small Business

HackerFleet-a-thon is a Hackathon for entrepreneurs. (Design. Engineering. Business.)

Most startups are doomed to fail from the start.

Making the right decisions around team, product, and business is very hard.

To guide you down the path of building a successful startup, HackerFleet is teaming up with tech entrepreneur and venture builder Helen Bui to bring you HackerFleet-a-thon.

This two-day, collaborative hackathon will challenge teams of business folks, designers, and engineers to solve the problems of small businesses in Vietnam.
