In just 24 hours, 10 teams across the US and India worked together to create hacks based on 3 different themes Attention Platform, Technology & Innovation, and Process & Efficiency.Unlike more traditional hackathons, our hacks have cross-departmental participation with team members spanning from operations, sales, product, and engineering. Typically, this inclusiveness gives the hacks a better weg for becoming viable products and solutions.And the actual hacks? The amount of enthusiasm to lead our business forward became clear through not just the technical ingenuity but how every teams presentation tied back to business outcomes specific to 33Across. Our judges certainly did not have an easy job deciding who the winners were in each category.The winners areTechnology/InnovationVoltron (Alex M, Drew, Lifei, Gil, Ujwal) Ad Quality Image ClassifierAttention PlatformCoconut Tart (Ashley, Blair, Derek, Maayan, Mike, Pallavi) Privacy Compliance AutomationProcess/Efficiency ImprovementAlama (Alex R, Aparna, Arthur, Lauren D, Mark) Partner Integration Metrics Querying & AlertingPopular Choice Award1337h4x0r5 (Adam, Kush, Patrick, Saajan, Sasha) Dynamic and Configurable Alerting System Hackathon teams present to the entire company While the US teams were sleeping, the teams in India were in full swing of the 33Across Hackathon On the other side of the World, our India participants had to record their presentations in advance.
