It was held at the Sinergia Tech facilities, and three entrepreneurs presented their technological products to the local community.
This event marked the inauguration of the local chapter of Product Hunt, which was baptized "Product Hunt MVD". Created by 1950Labs, it has been supported by Product Hunt and Sinergia Tech since its inception. The objective of the chapter is to bring together the local entrepreneurial community to spread the innovative products that are being made in Uruguay.
There were 70 attendees and 3 entrepreneurs from Uruguay presenting their products. Leonel Moré (1950Labs) and AnaLía Semblat (Sinergia Tech) gave the introduction to the chapter and the event.
In this edition, they had the presence of DJ Gonzalo Cumini and the support of the companies Blue Trail Software and December Labs.
The products presented were:
- DreamSnap, by Enrique Galindo (XmartLabs).
- The application allows users to apply filters on their photos, inspired by Uruguayan artists, all in real time.

- The Explorers, by Jacinto Montu (Unicorn Games).
- The game uses a dynamic interaction between a traditional board and an application that can be accessed from a tablet or smartphone. The proposal of the game is to generate a dynamic between the physical and digital environment.
