Shipaton IRL:
Real World Mode

This August and September, Shipaton returns — a global online hackathon for shipping real mobile apps making real money. Now you can bring the Ship-a-ton energy to your local community with Shipaton IRL.

Here’s what you’ll get as an official Shipaton IRL partner:
Swag in a box
