Gift Guide & Blackmail Worthy Photos From the Startup Holiday Party

Gift Guide & Blackmail Worthy Photos From the Startup Holiday Party

The following is the result of 50 Royal Flush shots, 83 Sweetwater pints, 49 Irish Whiskeys, and so much more. The SWEeT Holiday Party rang up a drink tally that rivals the length of a CVS receipt. Needless to say, it was one hell of a party. 

Once everyone was feeling "spirited" Hypepotamus asked a few ATL startup community members to share what tech product would be at the top of their dream holiday wish list. From walkie talkies to Teslas ... see what they had to say. Synapp.io's growth hacker, Maria Joyner was the one snapping the classic pictures. Her creative direction for the shoot was to "make love to the camera." The result? Shenanigans we can all enjoy until SWEeT 2015.
