Summary
AI is no longer a side experiment. It’s reshaping how organisations create value, design workflows, and make decisions.
The organisations winning with AI aren't asking which tool to use.
They're asking:
- How fast can we turn ideas into something real?
- How do we learn faster than the pace of change?
- And how do we redesign our organisation, not just optimise it?
The organisations that succeed won’t out-tech their competitors. They’ll out-learn them.
RiverHacks: Re-Founding the Future is a curated, invite-only innovation sprint where business leaders, domain experts, and builders come together to answer that; turn real business challenges into working AI prototypes in just a few hours.
A format with a track record
With Riverhack’s proven impact across industries (finance to enterprise technology) and cities (Amsterdam, London, Dubai), the outcome is always the same: high energy, real prototypes, and momentum that outlasts the event

From prototype to production
RiverHacks is often the starting point; What starts as a 2.5-hour sprint can become a two-week pilot or a two-month path to production. Re-founding doesn't stop at ideation; it continues into execution.
