ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Everything's gotta start somewhere. With a team you come in with, or one you make while at HackSC, establish working relationships which will extend long past the weekend of April 12. Under 'Entrepreneurship,' we want to establish a space where you can create products, not just projects.

Each member of the winning team gets:
* $150 dollar Amazon gift card
* Meeting with Okapi Ventures VC

ENTERTAINMENT

You're in LA, what did you expect? We're not looking for Ryan Gosling's replacement, his spot is full. However, there is plenty of room in regards to other tech developments across all fields: music, gaming and interactive media, and naturally film and VFX.

TRANSPORTATION

It's about time someone invented teleportation... or effective LA public transit. You decide.
