If you believe that people should own their data, then the @ppathon is for you.

As a program for aspiring entrepreneurs, the @ppathon will allow teams to develop compelling consumer apps on the @ protocol, a permissions-based protocol that will revolutionize how the internet handles people’s data. You’ll automatically adhere to complex privacy regulations and save time on some of the tedious aspects of coding mobile apps.

You’ll have 3 weeks to familiarize yourself with the @ protocol and form your team. You’ll then undergo a 2-week training period with several mentoring sessions before participating in a 5-day hackathon. At the end, your team could win $5,000 to bring your app to market, along with a 6-week period of mentorship to incubate your idea and hopefully secure funding.
