KN Hack 2026

Every investor holds beliefs about how markets behave. The harder question is how you know they're true.

This paper, synthesized from the KN Hack 2026 Speaker Day and Research Challenge (June 4–6, Cholula; 200+ practitioners), traces the modern investment process stage by stage — feature engineering, strategy design, trading, portfolio management, and entrepreneurship — and shows they're all the same scientific loop applied to a different problem.

Over 36 hours, 35+ teams from across Mexico's leading universities and practitioners built and defended real strategies on the KaxaNuk Research Lab.
