HACC Submissions on DevPost
Make Your Pitch/Demo Video

Your video should demonstrate the following:
- Clearly demonstrate what the application does
- Clearly demonstrate the viablity/sustainability from a business perspective
- Show the functionality of the application/prototype in it's current state
Video Tips
- Tell a compelling story of why this solution can make a difference
- Talk about the team behind the project and their motivations to join HACC and the project the team chose
- You are not being judged on video production quality, you're being judged on an application and it's viability
- Have fun with it!
