And the results are in – MIT BAP Winners and Runners up

We lost.

But we came in as the runners up team behind two obscenely bright guys from Caltech with a business model that basically prints money.

We didn’t mind losing at all, because there is honor in losing out to Caltech. And how can you possibly beat a printing press for cash. Here is the final ranking

Winner: Sofizar

Runners Up: Alchemy Technologies

Third position: Autosoft

Fourth position: Softech Systems

Fifth position: Tohfay

More later…
