Recap: GrowthHax

On July 13th, High Dimensional Research hosted a hackathon, GrowthHax, at Betaworks in New York City. This event gathered developers and entrepreneurs to explore innovative ways to drive growth using our product suite, Nolita and the Collective Memory Index.

GrowthHax saw 13 teams present their projects, with around 60 participants engaging throughout the day. The projects ranged from playful oddities to businesses and product features that we expect to see in market soon.

It was an invaluable opportunity for the HDR team to watch developers use our products, troubleshoot, and answer their questions. We’re thankful for everyone who showed up. Check out a list of projects below.
