“Thoughts Become Things”
Take a second to think about what distinguishes you, as a hacker. Is it your impressive ability to stay (semi) functional for 24 hours on end? Maybe your unmatched ability to maintain a sense of humor, even when the Gods of Code decide to pick on you that day? Or is it your ability to easily process immense amounts of Red Bull?
While all of these things are impressive (seriously, props for the no sleep thing), what really distinguishes you hackers from others, is your unparalleled PASSION for what you do. A passion that is derived from a single feeling, and is guided by your need to see that feeling turn into a thought, the thought turn into an idea, and the idea come to life!
Welcome to the Eighth season of AngelHack, where Thoughts Become Things!

At AngelHack, we believe in generous rewards to those who prove themselves worthy. So each year we team up with our sponsors to bring you the best prizes ever. Drumroll please:
- First Prize: An exclusive invite to our HACKcelerator.
- Sponsor Prizes:
- SPHERE.IO: For the most awesome hack in every city, we’re happy to give away up to 20.000 € credit for the SPHERE.IO platform to bring your project to life (you’re also free to use this credit for any other project you’re working on, or - as a developer or an agency - pass it to a customer). Furthermore, having our headquarter in the world’s beer capital, we’re very excited to invite the best team of all cities we attend (San Francisco, Manhattan, Barcelona, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Brooklyn, London, Berlin, Silicon Valley) to join us at our annual Oktoberfest team event in September in Munich - flight expenses, accommodation, beer and great fun included.
So gear up, hold that thought, and get ready to bring your ‘A’ game hackers! Your hardwork and dedication will not go unrecognized!
