Looking back, this was one of the most audacious things I've ever attempted. We were challenged by Anton Osika to build something totally unreasonable.
I assembled my friends, and together we chose our challenge: Build, Launch, Sell, all within 20 hours. What followed was one of the greatest and most stressful experiences of my life, but I loved every second of it.
The20hr.co became Europe's fastest startup exit, acquired by Revel in record time.
It was my first time in Sweden, and also my first hackathon where I was picking up the phone, getting on calls, and selling instead of being 100% heads down in coding. As a result, we scaled to €10k in revenue from the sponsors we secured for the project.
So, what did we build? A hyper personalised LinkedIn automation outreach tool, which we also used to land Cluely a client so that they would sponsor us.
I learned a lot from this short but intense experience. It truly reinforced the idea that nothing is too audacious when you bring together the right people and give it everything you've got.
