The purpose behind GatewayHacks
Gateway.GS serves local New Jersey businesses with practical technology. GatewayHacks extends that mission by encouraging more young people to build for the businesses and communities around them. A shop that needs a better way to reach customers, or a nonprofit with too much paperwork, can be the starting point for a useful product.
