Agentic Loops Hackathon S1: Shanghai Edition
"Build the Future of Finance: AI-Powered Blockchain Solutions"
Description
Loops House Shanghai is a curated residency for a small group of builders working on AI agents, automation, and emerging internet infrastructure. We select founders and engineers who are already building or ideas that have huge potential and push them to go further. This isn’t a hackathon. It’s a focused environment to build, launch, and prove something works.
Program Goal
The goal of Loops House Shanghai is to help a small cohort of teams move from prototype → product → traction.
The journey begins with a 10-day pre-hackathon (April 10–20), where builders refine their ideas, build an MVP, and prepare for execution.
Top teams are then selected for the in-person Hacker House in Shanghai, where they spend time building, launching, and validating their product with real users.
By the end of the program, teams are expected to leave with:
• a live product
• early user validation
• and a clear path forward
It’s to build something people will pay for.
