Sticking with the dough part, want more? How about Vegas? Like Vegas? Think mobile is cool? Awesome? Sport of the future?
Hey us too!
We here at Modo are nearly breathless with anticipation about the Money2020 Hackathon, but that could also be because we asked too many questions right in a row. We think you should totally come out, and build something awesome and win. Plus, you will have the opportunity to hob knob with some big shots in the Fin Tech industry. We are pretty excited about that part ourselves; it's quite the crowd.
Modo has created an open API that allows developers to create their own apps delivering beautiful buying experiences to consumers. A customer can walk into a store, be instantly recognized, get presented with gifts, deals, rewards, and offers, engage with the store attendants and complete their purchase (including touchless checkout), using only their mobile device. Modo powers the payments and technology bits and you design the personalized engagement that consumers crave. See www.modopayments.com for more about our handcrafted API.
Send Modo your ideas for building beautiful buying experiences and the top 11 concepts will receive $500 (per team) toward a trip to Las Vegas to compete in the Money 2020 Hackathon taking place at the Aria November 1st through 2nd.
