Conigent Members Take 2nd Place at Philly Startup Weekend
Posted on April 27, 2012
Startup Weekend is an intense 54 hour event which focuses on building a web or mobile application which could form the basis of a credible business over the course of a weekend.

CreditCardio was the brainchild of Anittah Patrick, whos mission was to educate people on the importance of understanding debt before taking it on. CreditCardio's goal is to make fiscal fitness fun, fast, and free.
After 54 long hours, many cups of coffee and sleepless nights the CreditCadio team presented their work to a panel of judges and took second place at Philly Startup weekend! Overall it was a great expereience for the Conigent team and they had to opportunity to work along side many taleneted designer and developers from the Philadelphia area.
