Gift Akobundu (Founder & CEO, Chao) and his team (Afolabi Sokeye Melvin Senne-Aya, Afolabi Fejulo) were the toast of the night as they clinched the first place prize for the Markhack 3.0 Hackathon.
Despite hundreds of startups applying to the Markhack 3.0 Hackathon, just 10 finalists were selected, with the first three being:
- First place: Chao
- 2nd place: Market AI
- 3rd place: Converse AI
With their cutting edge solution – a campus-to-campus food delivery service – Team Chao won over the hearts and minds of jurors for the final contest. Chao serves as a connector between restaurants and students, with deliveries made possible by independent contractors.
Everybody was declared a winner for attempting to win at the Markhack 3.0 hackathon.
