Rebuild Private Markets: The Ylookup x Encode AI Hackathon
Description
Rebuild Private Markets: The Ylookup x Encode AI Hackathon Private markets still run on spreadsheets, PDFs, and endless back-and-forth. On September 5-6, Ylookup and Encode are bringing together 100 builders at Encode Hub to change that. Teams will compete across two tracks: push an AI model to generate complex Excel formulas, or build a new product around real problems faced by fund managers. Builders will get anonymized industry data, live user interviews, and access to mentors, then turn their idea into a working product over one weekend. What to expect: Who it's for: Engineers, builders, and data people - anyone who's ever had to wrangle messy documents into something clean. Come with a team or find one on the day.
