Hackathon finalist with CredMatch

Built an AI that reads your spending and tells you which credit card you should actually be using — and made it to the finals.

CredMatch started as a hackathon question: how much are people losing by using the wrong credit card?

We built a recommendation engine that analyses spending patterns across categories — travel, dining, groceries and more — calculates the rewards you're leaving on the table, and suggests better alternatives.

Takeaways

  • A pitch is a story; the numbers are just proof
  • Scope ruthlessly — a sharp demo beats a broad one
  • Building under a clock teaches you what actually matters
