Friday on MedHeads: How to win a hackathon, and other startup tips

Join us live Friday at 4 p.m. EST as Meghana Keshavan and two of her partners on her winning MIT Hacking Medicine GrandHack team discuss their startup’s journey, as well as what others can learn about hackathons through that journey.

Back in April, MedCity News reporter Meghana Keshavan was part of the team that won MIT Hacking Medicine’s GrandHack. This week, she reflected on the experience and gave an update on the progress of the winning project, an end-of-life planning app now called Cake.

Keshavan hasn’t been involved in the day-to-day development of the startup, but Suelin Chen and Harvard palliative care physician Dr. Mark Zhang have. The three will join MedCity News leader Chris Seper Friday at 4 p.m EST on the final live MedHeads broadcast of 2015.

The panel will discuss their startup’s journey, as well as what others can learn about hackathons through that journey. Join us via the YouTube embed below, or on our Google Hangout On Air page.

As always, we will take the topics seriously, but we won’t take ourselves too seriously. We also take our holidays seriously. With the next two Fridays being Christmas and New Year’s Day, this is your last chance to see MedHeads live until Jan. 8.
