Grok Bot London Financial Crime Hackathon

​Join SpaceXSI and Diligent AI for a one-day hackathon where we’re building frontier models to help the fight against financial crime. You’ll spend the day with tier 1 operators & builders from across the YC ecosystem, working with everyone from exited founders to experienced investors.

​Financial crime is rapidly evolving & the tools that the defenders (Banks, FinTechs, Asset Managers) use to combat the threat are stuck in the 80s. We’re building in partnership with the frontier labs to help change that.

​Come & join the defense 🤌
