Sunshine State Hackathon, a Hackathon focused on coming up with solutions for the Covid-19 Crisis has announced that it has formed a marketing partnership with Synapse Florida, the leading online and offline Innovation Hub in Tampabay area. Sunshine State Hack plans to raise $25K to cover the cost of Prizes and marketing costs for its operations via Corporate sponsorships, Donations and Crowdfunding to the growing Innovation community in the Tampabay area.

The Sunshine State Hack is modelled after TheGlobalhack.com, a global online event that brought together over 12,000 participants from over 100 countries to come up with innovative solutions to deal with Coronavirus. Topics that will be covered include: Health, Small Business, Coworking, Pandemics, Banking, Insurance, Survival, Lifehacks, Jobs & the Future of Work.

The SunshineStatehack.com is the brainchild of Cal Tiger, a local Clearwater based entrepreneur, Carol Bolger, a former USF graduate who runs a software development firm from her home, catering to small business clients and Rein Gottschalk, a Clearwater based Database expert who has been working on next generation AI and DevOps technology via Garage48.org, a Brick n Mortar Incubator based in Tallinn, Estonia.

Sunshine State Hackathon is the collective work of a scrappy team that includes in addition to cofounders Cal, Carol and Rein the following members: Alexis Grisham, a Software Developer who has been thru the Suncoast Developers Group Bootcamp; Charles Enslin, a former US Navy Veteran who is a Cloud and Data Analytics Executive, DheerajK, an MS student at USF Muma School of Business, who is working on his masters program in Data Science and Jose Alexandro Gomes who is working as a researcher on Pandemic and its effects on Brazil’s indigent population at Universidade Federal Fluminense in Rio De Janeiro. In addition, we are grateful to the services of JoyGrace Harmony, our extremely efficient program coordinator and our Clearwater sponsors, Indian Bistro, and Panera Bread Company, who have supported us during this Crisis.
