about this event

MONEY TALKS #3 AI × FINANCE HACKATHON. Hosted by Block Convey. New York is where finance gets built. This is the third time we put builders in a room with the people who actually run money, and this time nobody builds alone. One day. Teams of 2 to 4. Build an AI product or agent for a real financial problem, then demo it to founders, operators and Wall Street professionals.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME

Every team gets a finance mentor. When you form your team, you are assigned a mentor who works in finance: fund operations, banking, payments, risk, FP&A, insurance, trading. Your mentor tells you what problem is worth solving, how to build it so it holds up, where to get the data, and what to improve before you demo. They check in with you through the day. You never get stuck guessing what finance people want. You ask one.

30-minute opening workshop. The day starts with a working session, not a keynote. In 30 minutes you get: the problems our mentors see every week that AI could solve today, the data sources you can use (public, synthetic and partner), how to set up PRISM and the partner tools, and what the judges score. You leave the workshop with a problem, a dataset and a plan. Then you build.

Build on PRISM. Every team builds with PRISM by Block Convey. It shows you what your agent is doing across model calls, tools, retrieval and decisions, where it fails, and how to fix it. Judges see your traces. A demo that works because you can prove it works beats a demo that got lucky.
