Startup Asia Bandung Hackathon: The Winners

After all the coffee, snacks, and code-crunching that more than 600 developers went through at the 24-hour hackathon at Startup Asia Bandung, came the highly-anticipated demo day. All the developers had the chance to present their products to the 11 challenge sponsors, and the top teams then did a 90-second pitch in front of the whole audience – and our judges – at the Startup Arena segment.

And here are the winners for the Startup Asia Bandung Hackathon in each of the many API-oriented challenges that were set:

East Ventures Alpha, Tiket, and Softlayer Challenges

Aqsath Rasyid, Azby Luthfan, Tito Daniswara, and Puja Pramudya (Team 6) impressively became the only team to win three sponsor challenges: ones from East Ventures Alpha, Tiket, and Softlayer. So we’ve grouped those three challenges here. The team built a Windows 8 app [Updated: correction!] for collaborative trip planning.

Lazada Challenge

There were two winners of the Lazada challenge, which tasked teams with building a Lazada Indonesia native design for Blackberry.

• 1st winner: Bilhasry Ramadhony (Team 38).
• 2nd winner: Basytyan Kardinal Pratama, Lailatuzzahro, Lutfiah Hayati, Aonillah, and Jade Marsha Pricillia (Team 13).

GEPI Challenge

The idea behind the GEPI challenge was a bit different to all the others – to fight piracy using any kind of mobile app and platform. The winners for this unique challenge were Lugas Adhi Prasetyo, Aulia Ahmad Nur Utomo, Setyo Artanto, and Aprianto Dwi Atmaji (Team 33). They built a ‘spot the differences’ Windows Phone game called “KW12.” The game tells a story about a burglar who stole and copied different kinds of products, and the police must now uncover which products are genuine and which are fake.

Teamie Challenge

William Sanjaya, Indri Yunita, and Chandra (Team 54) won this education-oriened challenge. They built a Blackberry app that enables users to create and learn through flashcards. An honorable mention goes to Takdir, Amir, Ana, Vendi, Fahmi, and Bayu from Team 35 who were really close to winning this challenge.
