Fintech Hackathon

About this event

Start where money gets stuck.
A payment that stalls. A small business turned away. A scam that looks real. Choose one problem and build something that helps.
We are bringing builders together for an after-work fintech hackathon in London. Find collaborators, make a working prototype and show what it does.
THE CHALLENGE
Explore payments, access to finance, or fraud and security. Sponsors will share track briefs and suggested prompts. Use any tools you like, and focus on a problem you can explain to the person who has it.
WHO CAN JOIN
Everyone. You do not need to be an LSE student, know finance, arrive with a team or have an idea ready. Come alone or together; there will be time to meet people and form teams.
HOW IT WORKS
Meet collaborators, choose a problem, build, then demo. Teams submit a project title, short description, member names and LinkedIn profiles, plus a Loom or YouTube video.
JUDGING
Real-world impact 30% Originality 25% / Execution and craft 25% Trust and responsibility 20%.
You and your team own what you create. Terms for any third-party tools or data you use still apply.

Consumer Startup Breakfast 🥐🫖

London, United Kingdom, London, United Kingdom
In person

Giant croissants, good coffee, and honest conversation with other consumer founders and the investors who back them, (Active Ventures, Gresham House, etc...) Join us for our Consumer Startup Breakfast on the 13th of October 🥐 We'll be carving out 15 minutes for Natalie McNamee (exited consumer founder turned startup coach) to say the thing most founders don't want to hear: "The Product Is Working. The Commercial Loop Isn't." Here's the uncomfortable truth: your product is probably fine. But your revenue is quietly leaking somewhere in the customer journey, and chances are, you haven't found the hole yet. Natalie will show you exactly where to look, what you'll likely find, and what to fix first. Think organic social, email, and turning your existing customers into your cheapest acquisition channel. Your host: Jumpstart Making recruitment not sh*t. Jumpstart has connected 1000+ startups with the top 1% of junior-mid level sales talent - handpicked from thousands of applicants each month. Kindly hosted at OPUS House!
