Fintech Hackathon

Start where money gets stuck. A payment that stalls. A small business turned away. A scam that looks real. Choose one problem and build something that helps.

We are bringing builders together for an after-work fintech hackathon in London. Find collaborators, make a working prototype and show what it does. THE CHALLENGE Explore payments, access to finance, or fraud and security. Sponsors will share track briefs and suggested prompts. Use any tools you like, and focus on a problem you can explain to the person who has it. WHO CAN JOIN Everyone. You do not need to be an LSE student, know finance, arrive with a team or have an idea ready. Come alone or together; there will be time to meet people and form teams. HOW IT WORKS Meet collaborators, choose a problem, build, then demo. Teams submit a project title, short description, member names and LinkedIn profiles, plus a Loom or YouTube video. JUDGING Real-world impact 30% Originality 25% / Execution and craft 25% Trust and responsibility 20%.

You and your team own what you create. Terms for any third-party tools or data you use still apply.
