$ for partners
We know your next best engineer, quant and researcher.
FullHouse Hackathon is a student algorithmic poker competition that connects quantitative trading firms and technology companies with Europe's strongest technical students. Each student builds an autonomous Python bot on their own, over days, and it is ranked over millions of hands in a fixed sandbox.
A signal a CV can't give you
Poker is decision-making under uncertainty against opponents who adapt. Doing well at FullHouse takes the skills you hire for: modelling, statistics, clean engineering and judgement under pressure. The leaderboard shows who has them.
In our first season, students who had been rejected at CV screening were hired by top firms after strong FullHouse performances. FullHouse surfaces talent that CV screens can miss.
Who you'll meet
Season 2 finals are in London in Q1 2027 and Munich in Q2 2027. We are reaching maths, physics, computer science and engineering students at universities including UCL, Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, LSE, St Andrews, TUM, LMU, ETH Zürich, EPFL and Bocconi, with a dedicated push to bring in PhD researchers alongside top undergraduates.
