Code the Future of Finance
Part of Fintech Week CEE — we kick off the week with builders.
What it is
A 2-day fintech build sprint for founders, hackers, students, designers, and operators who want to ship. Bring an idea, a prototype, or come solo and join a team — you’ll build fast, get mentored hard, and demo to a room that can help you move forward.
Who it’s for
If you can build, design, test, or explain — you belong here.
Hackers who love shipping and want a real fintech problem set
Vibecoders turning prompts into product fast
Idea makers with a strong thesis looking for a team to build v1
Startup teams who want sprint to ship a feature/prototype
Product + ops people who know the real pain (KYC, fraud, payments, compliance)
Designers + students / first-time builders who want a real startup-mode demo + mentors
Challenges (TBC)
We’ll publish this year’s challenges soon (curated with partners). Expect practical problem-sets across payments, onboarding, risk/compliance, AI for finance, and infrastructure.
