The plan to hold America's first sextech hackathon wasn't hatched by Silicon Valley brogrammers between swigs of beer and writing code. In an origin story far more fitting, the vision crystallized after a sexual education workshop held at a polyamorous, sex positive living communityin Brooklyn. "You were the ideas man and pulled it all together," Bryony Cole, The Future Of Sex podcast host, said to organizer Andriy Yaroshenko the morning of the innagural event, which was held at the ThoughtWorks office in Manhattan. The workshop where Cole and Yaroshenko met was at the Hacienda Villa housing community, which hosts similar events throughout the year, though they previously connected on Twitter. The pair formed a friendship over a mutual desire to change the way we talk and think about sex.
