“When you conceive of something like Gift the Code, you’re understandably nervous, because it’s so new and you have no idea where it will go. In partnering up with Hackworks, our team at Capital One felt like our ambitious idea was as cared for by them as it was by us and it reassured us that it was going to work. As it grew, I think it became a labour of love for all of us and that is what ultimately made it such an amazing and special event. Even more awesome is the continued desire by Hackworks to pitch in after the fact, to help bring the results to light. We’re so impressed with such a fantastic partner, it has been a truly memorable year.”
