I love the idea of hacks. In this case if you can’t think of new, revolutionary ideas you can hack another product/idea – in this case PayPal.
This hackathon had people creating apps to find lost children (and fund through Paypal), crowdsource funding app for children (really) and a mobile app to pay for parking.

Thanks for sharing Kendra! Nice to see people using their skills in a competitive way to solve problems that affect different sectors of society.
Hi Kendra,
Thanks for sharing the idea on “Hacks”. It is interesting how other’s stem new ideas! On that note, here is a venture idea to help prevent hacking from your laptop by two venture entrepreneurs in Malaga, Spain. They created the idea of a Tapatucam to prevent hackers from seeing what you were viewing upon your laptop or computer. Unfortunately, they were unable to meet their project funding goal. It was a good idea for the solution of webcam hacking.
