hackathons

Mark your calendars, folks!

StackRef will be officially launching on Product Hunt on Wednesday, December 13, 2023!

Good news, everyone!

Previously, purchasing StackCash – credits used to schedule events – was only possible by directly contacting us, or via the Amazon Marketplace. Well, no longer! StackCash is now directly purchasable within the application, once you have your free account created and are an organization’s owner or administrator.

Take a look at our profile on the Amazon Startup Showcase! If you have the means to do so, a thumb-up would be amazingly appreciated. Who knows – we might be a featured startup there some day!

We’re excited to unveil a significant enhancement to our Amazon Marketplace offering: Vendor Insights!

In case you missed the presentation at this year’s Snyk DevSecCon24, here’s the recording that you can watch at your leisure!

Yesterday (June 20) marked a year since StackRef was officially incorporated. Less-officially, StackRef has been around since 2021.

Coincidentally, it’s also the day StackRef officially went live in the Amazon Marketplace!

I’ll be presenting at this year’s Snyk DevSecCon24 on June 27, 2023, in a lighting talk titled “Security Testing During Ideation: A Hackathon Perspective!”

Exciting news is coming out of StackRef HQ as we announce the addition of two new automated judging tools for hackathons: Infracost and Cossell!

“Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation.” — Dean Kamen

While the Segway didn’t change the world how Mr. Kamen had visualized it would, it was indeed a big idea.

This quote from Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, beautifully captures the essence of innovation. In today’s fast-paced world, businesses and organizations are constantly seeking ways to foster innovation, and one proven method is through the use of internal hackathons.

Internal hackathons, also known as innovation sprints, have become increasingly popular in companies around the world. These events are designed to encourage employees to come up with creative solutions to business challenges, and to foster a culture of innovation within the organization. In this blog post, we will explore how internal hackathons can improve company innovation.
