Comment on Two Harvard University Alumni Win Salesforce $1M Hackathon Prize

Comments

The more i read the comments in the article, the more I'm getting the impression that it was a set up deal in which salesforce wanted to buy off the source/architecture of the project from the ex-employee...

Marc Benioff probably thought that it would be a win win situation if he shamelessly plug in one of his investments on top of naive hackers.

So does he even care?

What a show...

... then, they acquire the project and the ex-employee is back at Salesforce again.

Perfectly plausible deniability, and the money stays in the company!
