This weekend, two Startup Weekend events were held on the East Coast: one in New York City and another in Baltimore. The NYC event was sold out with over 200 attendees from various backgrounds, while the Baltimore event had around 120 participants, including hardware hackers and teachers. Both events featured intense 54-hour sprints where teams formed and worked on their projects, with a focus on using Twilio's APIs to build innovative applications. The NYC event saw teams like Bridg.me and Playmob win top prizes for their apps, which utilized Twilio's Voice API and SMS capabilities, respectively. In Baltimore, the winning teams included Parking Panda, Localize, Dapprly, and TalkChalk, all of which incorporated Twilio's APIs in their solutions. The events were organized by experienced teams and showcased a high level of entrepreneurial spirit and innovation, with participants coming from far and wide to participate.
