Summary

Moisey Uretsky, a representative of DigitalOcean, attended the NYC Startup Weekend event held at General Assembly. The event focused on Music and Gaming, where participants brainstormed ideas, formed teams, and built companies in just two days. One of the highlights was witnessing how rough ideas transformed into prototypes over the weekend. In the end, TypeThat won first place with $1,000 worth of cloud hosting provided by DigitalOcean, who also offered free cloud hosting to all participating teams. The event's organizers and participants received praise for their hard work, and Moisey shared a personal anecdote about witnessing TypeThat's pitch improvements before the final deadline.
