AI Venture Building Hackathon by Hatch Labs
About the Event
We are kicking off an AI venture-building hackathon matching business leaders/founders with AI experts, scientists, and technical founders. Our focus is on AI agent applications in complex, fragmented industries that are slower to adopt technology and rely on human experts for advice. Example industries include real estate, wealth management, insurance, femtech, maritime, etc.
What We Offer to Founders
Hackathon Space: Collaborate with fellow innovators in a dynamic environment.
Expert Mentors: Get guidance from leaders in AI, business strategy, and industry-specific verticals.
Top-Tier Judges: Pitch your ideas to VCs, angel investors, and industry experts.
Early Funding: 1-3 winning teams secure VC funding within 6-9 months.
Why this Hackathon
This isn’t your typical hackathon. We’re bringing together business leaders, AI experts, scientists, and technical founders to tackle the challenges of industries ripe for AI disruption. With the backing of Rise by Barclays and Microsoft, participants will have unparalleled access to resources, mentorship, and investment opportunities.
Over 48 intense hours, you’ll develop:
- A working proof of concept (early-stage MVP)
- A comprehensive business plan, including market research and GTM strategy
- An investor-ready pitch deck
