The FinTech City That Never Sleeps HACKATHON

Startupbootcamp FinTech is organizing our first ever  FinTech Hackathon in the United States and what better city to kick off an overnight, 24 hour Hackathon event, then in New York "The City That Never Sleeps"! 

The FinTech City That Never Sleeps Startupbootcamp Hackathon *Powered by Byte Academy* will be taking place June 10th into June 11th at Workville NYC.  Sign up now to register your spot!

FINTECH CHALLENGES:

1)    Financial Trust: There have been recent studies showing that millennials trust their Uber driver more than their financial advisor.  Develop a banking product in which users develop ultimate financial trust.

2)    Blockchain: Blockchain has been in the spotlight over the past year.  Come up with a product that uses it for compliance purposes such as KYC, KY3P or another kind of risk management.

3)    Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin is slowly losing its reputation for being used in illegal activities.  Large banks are coming up with their own cryptocurrencies (e.g. Citibank’s citicoin).  Come up with your own cryptocurrency and/or crypto related product.

4)    Financial inclusion: FinTech products are enabling people all over the world to pursue banking activities even without a bank account.  Develop a product that provides financial inclusion.

5)    Target/niche banking: Pick a target market (millennials, Gen Y, baby boomers, etc) and create a product that caters specifically to their banking needs.

DRESS CODE:  Late night hacking in pajamas!  Feel free to wear pjs or any other casual clothing. Whatever you are comfortable in.
