I keep hearing stories like yours, I'm not sure why people who have bad experienes at AngelHack don't share their stories more.

  Their Austin event was pretty bad. We thought it would be developer oriented but then it was just a 48 hour long sales pitch. Based on the other comments I'm seeing here, maybe they just dropped the ball in Austin.

    Yea... we had some problems with ATX last time. We're switching things up with a completely new organizing team and venue this time around. It's not easy to throw these big hacks, so I have to be a little forgiving with our first time organizers from past. That said, we will get it right and things in Austin will be awesome like they are in most other cities.

      I understand. I ran a hackathon in San Antonio this summer and problems crop up where you least expect them. Definitely not an easy task.

        After attending, I don't see how AngelHack can ever be successful in its current format. It's clearly not about the hacks. It's for the sponsors who want to recruit devs and investors/judges who want to find the next big idea.
