What is FinHack all about

Problem solving: All participants must identify a problem from an area of the Finance industry (payments or finance literacy or accesability) and try to get to the root of it, without relying only on suppositions.

Developing demo-solutions: Together with a team of professionals from various fields, all participants will develop certain tools that solve the prior identified problems & will get real-time feedback on them.

Developing your business model: Good planning right from the start is what can set you apart from other players on the market. For that you need a good business model, a great pricing policy & an understanding of the financials of launching new solutions.

Building new brands: Each team will have the assignment of building a new brand, setting up its marketing strategy and collaborating with highly skills mentors from fields such as Media & UX/ UI.

Selling your idea: After everything is set up, the next & final step you are going to go through will be to sell your solution. Just like you'd do in a pitch where you have to impress the juries in order to win the big prize.
