We Didn't Hit The Mark

This weekend we held a student hackathon over generational poverty. While the event itself was amazing, we missed the mark on how many students we wanted to attend? While I tell myself this is a part of "testing the waters," it still was a punch to the gut. So, how can we get better? What will we do differently next time?

I would very much like your thoughts on this on. Feel free to email me at: dwettrick@startedupfoudation.org
