⚡ Track Sponsors
Maximor | Official Money Operations Track Sponsor
What should the AI-native finance team look like?
Maximor is building AI-powered finance operations for the modern CFO organization, making them a natural partner to shape the Money Operations challenge.
What happens when an AI agent can actually do it?
Maximor will help shape the challenge around problems finance teams are dealing with today.
🛡️ Regodit | Official Trust & Risk Track Sponsor
Financial AI does not become enterprise-ready just because the model works.
Regodit builds AI-powered compliance and risk automation around evidence collection, control readiness, monitoring and audit preparation.
The challenge is to build AI that companies can not only use, but trust, monitor and defend in a real enterprise environment.
🧠 Money Intelligence
Build AI that helps people and businesses make better decisions around:
Investing · Market Research · Financial Analysis · Portfolio Intelligence · Personal Finance
Use agents, real-time information and financial data to turn information into something people can actually act on.
💼 Your Hackathon Project Could Become Your Interview

They are joining MONEY TALKS specifically to meet engineers who can build:
UI Agents · Workflow Automation · Autonomous Digital Workers · AI-Powered Product Experiences

Your Hackathon demo shows them what you can do.
🧑💻 Technology Partners
Our technology partners are giving teams tools and credits that can help them move faster during the hackathon.
GIDE
A local-first AI coding environment where builders can run models locally, work offline, bring their own cloud models and keep control over what an AI coding agent changes.

AI can generate code quickly. Prelint helps answer the next question: did the AI actually build what the product was supposed to do?
It reviews AI-written changes against product requirements, rules and decisions.
