Who This Is For

This is not a typical hackathon.

Its for a small group of builders who believe they can generate real alpha but have never had access to the infrastructure to prove it.

For decades, running capital has been gated not by intelligence, but by access. Firms like Millennium Management & Citadel didnt just hire talent they built the machinery that turns a thesis into a managed investment operation.

That machinery is what Podium unlocks.
https://podium-finance.com/

Podiums goal is simple:

Take the infrastructure stack of a multi-manager hedge fund & make it accessible to anyone with real edge.

We believe the next generation of strong PMs wont come exclusively from traditional pipelines. They will come from people who already operate in complex, feedback-driven systems but have never had the opportunity to run capital.

Were looking for a very specific type of participant:

The founder who understands systems, feedback loops, & compounding & sees markets as another system to model

The domain expert who knows something the market doesnt fully price from energy to healthcare to supply chains

The quantitative builder who can translate ideas into models, agents, or decision frameworks

The emerging PM who has the thesis, but not the $50M AUM or institutional backing

You dont need pedigree. You dont need a fund.

The industry over-indexes on pedigree because it has historically been the only reliable filter.

But pedigree is a proxy not the source of alpha.

But you do need...

1) Common sense exceeding the average
2) Reasoning under uncertainty, & cutting through the noise
3) Extreme tenacity

This is not for spectators. Its for people who want to own their pipeline from idea to execution to capital.

If you have edge, this is where you prove it.

We have put together an an elite panel of hedge fund operators, AI leaders, & investment technology veterans who have built, scaled, & operated real systems at the frontier of capital markets including the following & more:
- CEO of one of the largest quantitative hedge fund in Asia
- Director of AI at a 15B AUM Ex-Tiger Cub hedge fund
- Principal Researcher at a Series F Investment Tech


[Note]
While the kickoff will take place in New York during Tech Week, participation in the program is not limited by geography.

We are also opening this to a small number of remote participants who meet the same bar builders who are serious about running strategies & iterating over time.

This event is a part of #NYTechWeeka week of events hosted by VCs & startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com." data-next-head="
