100+ sign-ups: that was our first campus hackathon at the London School of Economics.
Next stop: University College London. 🚀
At Everesteer, we believe the future of investing will be shaped by people who excel in working with AI. That’s why we’re taking our hackathons to top universities: to meet exceptional students early and see first-hand how they use frontier AI to build better investment strategies.
On Sunday 22 November, we’re partnering with two of UCL’s biggest societies, the UCL Data Science Society and the UCL Economics and Finance Society, to bring a Hedge Fund Hackathon to their members.
Students will build quantitative models with AI on real, anonymised futures data, test them live and compete across live rounds for a share of £500 in prizes.

· Sunday 22 November, 12:00–15:00
· Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, UCL · UCL students only
If you’re part of a student society and would like to bring an Everesteer hackathon to your campus, we’d love to hear from you!
Budapest, we're coming home. 🇭🇺
After New York, London and San Francisco, the Everesteer Hedge Fund Hackathon comes to Budapest, home of our Quant Research office. We're co-hosting it with Budapest Investment Club and Day One Capital.
Sourcing talent from Central and Eastern Europe is part of our philosophy, and our hackathons are one of the ways we build those relationships. We've already hired quant talent from previous events.
On the night, you'll build quantitative models with frontier AI, compete in live rounds and track your model on the leaderboard, with a $1,000 prize pool. Our founder Marton Peter Price will also speak.
If you're curious how AI agents are changing finance and hedge funds, come build with us and meet the team.

4 months ago, we started working on an 'autonomous investing' platform and hosting @everesteer_ hedge fund hackathons around the world. San Francisco is the 'Everest' of this ecosystem, and it was such an honour to co-host an event in this city!!
Thank you all who made this possible; our small team of principally Hungarian machine learning researchers, engineers and quant professionals truly appreciate the help from @tryramp & the trust from @btv_vc!
In the past 2 weeks, it has also become clear that the race to build new 'autonomous investing' platforms and capture the technological advancements enabled by frontier models has begun, with several better-funded, more experienced rivals launching.
But competition and better funding have never scared me. With EverestQuant, we compete with billion-dollar hedge funds every day, and are slowly succeeding.
Before I decided to climb Mt. Everest, I had little mountaineering experience, only relentless ambition and an 'Eastern European' hard-working perseverance.
To achieve truly worthwhile things in life, you need to dream big, work hard, use your talents every day, and persevere with humble tenacity and relentless grit over many years. Our team has all of these, and I have never been more excited about the future.
Onwards & upwards!
San Francisco has self-driving cars. On Thursday night, as part of the Everesteer x @tryramp Hedge Fund Hackathon, it also had self-driving money: participants using frontier artificial intelligence to research and build their own investment strategies.
Incredible to see the results, with 1,513 agentic strategies built in a single evening during TECH WEEK by a16z! For those who missed out, request early private access here: https://t.co/5gxgRAF9BN
From Budapest to London to New York, and now San Francisco: our biggest hackathon yet.
To everyone who attended: thank you! Participants built genuinely impressive strategies in a few hours, with 3 teams beating our internal benchmark. The energy in the room was incredible, and the ideas you tested will shape what we build next.
This research powers our Everesteer Hedge Fund RL Environment: frontier-model-driven agentic research in collaboration with human participants, evaluated on real financial market outcomes.
A big thank you to Ramp for hosting us, and to Better Tomorrow Ventures for their support.
We are just getting started. Onwards and upwards!
