How many of these projects have turned into real companies?

Very few if any. The focus isn't really building companies or startups, but more-so to fit the theme, learn some new stuff, and build something cool in a month. A lot of people come in with a ton of web-programming experience and do it for the competition and prize money, but there are also plenty of noobies learning how to make websites for the first time.
