About this hackathon
The FSF Case Conclave is First Step Finance's flagship case competition — a week-long, three-stage challenge designed to test participants across the full spectrum of financial thinking. From foundational knowledge to real-world problem solving, every round mirrors the pressure, rigour, and standards of professional finance. Register for free, participate as an individual or a pair (max 2), and complete all three rounds between May 24–31. No restrictions on college, year, or background.
