Ask HN: Anyone going to HackDiningNYC?
Food Tech Connect's Hack Dining NYC is approaching next weekend, June 27-29. I just bought my plane ticket and am journeying from Lake Tahoe with a pretty cool idea and a marketable unused .com to create something unique and hopefully win.
Seeing if anyone is interesting in attending and possibly forming a team before the event. I've done a couple of these before, winning money and prizes in the last one, but team building seemed to be the challenge vs. building something cool.
Teams can have up to five. Ideally two coders, one UX and maybe another wildcard. Personally I've been an owner in foodservice, consulted for many, and years of sales & mktg in food, so I have a decent taste for the market.
Food is really hot right now and personally I'd like to win this and continue to build the project, take it to an accelerator and see where it goes. I'd put the name out there, but don't have the app name reserved yet so a bit hesitant, but it's solid.
Would love to find cool, smart people who love food and its possibilities to build a team. Bonus points if you have a couch or spot on your floor to crash.
Thanks for considering. Happy Eating.
