Twilio is teaming up with us for the weekend of November 13th through 22nd to encourage innovation with voice enabled applications, using our open API. If your team uses Twilio in any way over the course of the weekend, you’re eligible to win Netbooks for your team members.

How It Works

Startup Weekend teams range in size, so we will award the winning team with up to six Netbooks, along with other Twilio goodies. Startup Weekend teams in six cities will compete for the chance to win, and we’ll be blogging and tweeting about your projects throughout th weekend and beyond.
