EF Fall Hack
Apply to join us for EF’s Fall Hack, a 30-hour in-person hackathon designed for exceptional individuals with founding ambitions looking to rebuild legacy industries with AI. Organised by Entrepreneur First, this event was created to provide aspiring founders a chance to get together and build software to creatively improve processes in established industries. Not only will teams be encouraged to put together a functioning MVP, they should also present a vision for the product & go-to-market strategy.
The best teams should ideally present creative and impressively complex technical solutions with clearly communicated paths to commercialisation. Candidates are encouraged to be as creative & ambitious as possible with their projects!
Event Details:
Date: November 16th-17th
Location: Entrepreneur First, Shoreditch Exchange, Senna Building, Gorsuch Pl, London E2 8JF
Duration: 30 hours
Food and drinks will be provided throughout the event.
Eligibility: We are looking for students & early-career professionals with aspirations to found something soon. Ideal candidates are highly technical (with an engineering/science background or self-taught technical skills) or commercial (perhaps with previous founding experience or other outcomes selling/scaling something). Most importantly, ideal candidates should have ambitious visions for how legacy industries can be disrupted through the use of AI.
Prize: TBC
Further details to be shared with successful applicants soon.
