About this event

The Great Business Bake Off is Theory Ventures' second annual AI agent hackathon. You inherit a bakery business, and you and your team of AI agents have five hours to make it the most profitable bakery in town.

The Challenge

Your agents connect to the bakery, dig through its history, and help you decide what to do. You can set prices, hire staff, change the menu, and expand across town, while handling the curveballs along the way.

Who Should Apply

This is for AI engineers, data scientists, and founders who build with agents. Last year, 114 bakers joined us from NVIDIA, Meta, Google, Anthropic, and dozens of AI startups. Spots are limited and registration requires approval, so apply early.

Schedule

- 1:00 PM: Doors open - 1:30 PM: Introduction and opening talks - 2:00 PM: The challenge begins - 5:00 PM: Dinner - 7:00 PM: Final rankings, awards, and the Star Baker Judges
