MONEY TALKS #3
AI FINANCE HACKATHON
Hosted by Block Convey

New York is where finance gets built. This is the third time we put builders in a room with the people who actually run money, & this time nobody builds alone.

One day. Teams of 2 to 4. Build an AI product or agent for a real financial problem, then demo it to founders, operators & Wall Street professionals.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME

Every team gets a finance mentor
When you form your team, you are assigned a mentor who works in finance: fund operations, banking, payments, risk, FP&A, insurance, trading. Your mentor tells you what problem is worth solving, how to build it so it holds up, where to get the data, & what to improve before you demo. They check in with you through the day. You never get stuck guessing what finance people want. You ask one.

30-minute opening workshop
The day starts with a working session, not a keynote. In 30 minutes you get: the problems our mentors see every week that AI could solve today, the data sources you can use (public, synthetic & partner), how to set up PRISM & the partner tools, & what the judges score. You leave the workshop with a problem, a dataset & a plan. Then you build.

Build on PRISM
Every team builds with PRISM by Block Convey. It shows you what your agent is doing across model calls, tools, retrieval & decisions, where it fails, & how to fix it. Judges see your traces. A demo that works because you can prove it works beats a demo that got lucky.

CHOOSE YOUR TRACK

Money Intelligence: investing, research, analysis, portfolio intelligence, personal finance
Money Operations: payments, expenses, invoices, budgeting, CFO workflows, finance automation
Trust & Risk: fraud, compliance, risk, security, safer financial AI

Tracks are themes, not assignments. Build anything inside the theme. Your mentor helps you pick.

Build. Win. Get Seen.
