We launched #HackTheCurve and challenged teams to develop a solution that could alleviate some of the greatest difficulties being faced by Canadians as a consequence of COVID-19. Over a two-week period, teams competed for a $15,000 cash prize and $200,000 business services package.
Thank you to everyone who participated in #HackTheCurve. With more than 200 applications representing over 400 individuals, we were yet again reminded of the talent and compassion that exists in Canada’s tech community.
Congratulations to the Evrlinx team members: Aqeela Somani, Kewe Ogbaran, Lauren Bensadoun, Natasha Murji and Roger Ma.
