SUMMARY:OpenHack Miami
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Miami’s weekly Open Hack inside The LAB Miami co-working space in Wynwood. This is a chance to work on your projects and meet with folks from the Ruby Meetup\, Miami’s Code for America brigade\, and others. It’s also a good time to pitch in your journo skills by editing and writing. \nThe worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires. Journalists call themselves “hacks\,” someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds. \nThis group is to bring all these people together — those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It’s for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information\, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. \nIn the age of information overload\, all their work has become even more crucial. This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions\, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures. \nPlease also check out our blog at http://hackshackers.com

Disrupt gathers the best and brightest entrepreneurs\, investors\, hackers\, and tech fans for on-stage interviews\, the Startup Battlefield competition\, a 24-hour Hackathon\, Startup Alley\, Hardware Alley\, and After Parties.\n \nStartup Battlefield brings the world’s top early stage startups together on one stage to compete for the coveted Disrupt Cup\, a $50\,000 prize\, and the attention of media and investors. The judges include TechCrunch editors as well as top VCs and entrepreneurs\, and past winners include names like Dropbox\, Mint\, Yammer\, Zenefits\, and many more. Participation is free and open.\n \nAt the heart of the conference floor lies Startup and Hardware Alley where hundreds of early-stage companies showcase their talent and technology to attendees\, investors and members of the press. With different companies exhibiting each day\, Startup Alley hosts hundreds of exciting companies\, many of which are launching for the first time. Don’t miss the “Wild Card Winner” which is selected by a combination of audience and editorial votes and is awarded a place in the Startup Battlefield competition. \nCrunchMatch is a program designed to introduce investors to entrepreneurs\, based on curated analysis of which startups fit with a given investor’s profile.

The program is free for Disrupt attendees.   \nHow it works: When an investor registers for Disrupt\, they receive an invitation to complete a questionnaire about their investment interests. Startups participating in Disrupt’s Startup Alley and Battlefield fill out a similar form. When the TechCrunch team finds strong matches\, they will propose that the parties connect at Disrupt at a time and in a private space arranged by the events team. \n
