There are thousands of hackathons taking place all over the world every year, but what happens to the projects afterwards? Especially the ones that won?

Typically, they get their prize and the team moves on. But every year, the AngelHack HACKcelerator program takes winning projects from hackathons around the world and pushes them through a 12-week virtual accelerator program.

The startups below underwent that journey and showcase what innovative ideas are arising around the world. From a young founding team in Dublin revolutionizing agriculture tech, to a startup from Shenzhen who may unlock electricity struggles in underpowered regions, and more. Check out the startups demoing at AngelHack’s Global Demo Day in San Francisco on November 1, 2018.
