Hackathon - Strand Ventures x CUE @ Backed VC

​We're bringing 20 students for a problem based hackathon at Backed VC's offices (£100m fund).

​Problems are provided by Backed's portfolio companies.

​Dirac (founder Ethan Horsfall, Camb alum): building the market maker for the $1tn+ excess stock industry: think 'Jane Street for excess stock'. Every year hundreds of billions of pounds of physical goods go to waste or sell for a fraction of their value because the market lacks the infrastructure to move them efficiently.

​Marengo (founder Emil Ares, Camb alum): Accelerating space mission design.

​During the hack there will be lunch and dinner at the office, food of your choice

​Other than the top notch vibes and the food why come:

• ​Job/internship at one of the portfolio companies, the founders will be at the hack 💼

• ​Pitch meeting with Strand Ventures or Backed VC 👀

• ​A place at the Hacker House in the summer 🏡

​Organisers: Strand Ventures, Backed VC, CUE (Emre and Henrik)
