    Startup Weekend in Hong Kong

    This past weekend was the 3rd Startup Weekend in Hong Kong and I was lucky enough to return again as a judge.

The group worked all day Saturday and Sunday at the CoCoon co-working space in Hong Kong (the same co-work space AcceleratorHK is using). A few AcceleratorHK cohort members as well as program director Paul Orlando were helping out as mentors. On Sunday night we all gathered to a different venue where we heard all of...
