AI Ventures Hackathon - Info Session
Cambridge info session: Imperial AI Ventures Hackathon
The Imperial AI Ventures Hackathon is now open to Cambridge University students. On 5–7 February 2027, you’ll spend a weekend at Imperial finding an idea, forming a team and turning it into an AI venture, with £5,000 in prize money up for grabs.
You don’t need to be a coder. Your venture can build a new AI tool, or simply use AI to power a business. We want business students, designers, scientists and domain experts as well as developers.
Powered by Idealab.ai. Idealab.ai is Bill Gross’s new AI platform, with over a million startup ideas, each with target customers, competitors and first steps. The hackathon leverages the platform to help participants find and develop their ideas.
