Hackathons aren't all about glasses, geeks, pocket-protectors, and Red Bull, although such stereotypes may turn off many from entering them...
This may have been the case with Dan Griffin, a self proclaimed "finance guy," who had considered entering a hackathon for years. A banker at JP Morgan, and Byte Academy FinTech student, Dan acted on his aspiration when he signed up for the Startupbootcamp FinTech x AARP FinTech hackathon.
Dan and his team's product "Famancials" ended up winning the Hack. Below we interview Dan who describes his first hackathon experience (which he found surprisingly easy) and how he came out on top.
