WARNING: do not use sponsorbot yet. It does not keep track of which businesses have been contacted, so it's possible that a business can be emailed multiple times, which would annoy them.
Sometimes, it's hard to find sponsors for a hackathon. This bot scans through online sources to find companies and their contact info, and then emails them about sponsoring a hackathon.
Before using Sponsorbot, you have to run a quick setup by running npm run init
