Rebuild Private Markets: The Ylookup x Encode AI Hackathon

Rebuild Private Markets: The Ylookup x Encode AI Hackathon Private markets still run on spreadsheets, PDFs and endless back-and-forth. On 5-6 September, Ylookup and Encode are bringing together 100 builders at Encode Hub to change that. Teams will compete across two tracks: push an AI model to generate complex Excel formulas, or build a new product around real problems faced by fund managers. Builders will get anonymised industry data, live user interviews and access to mentors, then turn their idea into a working product over one weekend. What to expect: Mentor office hoursLive fund-manager interviewsResearch and product tracksApplication-based, with teams of up to fourPrizes will include: $500 worth of items and an investor pitch opportunity!
