The $75 Billion Question

Revolut sits at a reported $75bn valuation with 75 million customers, pushing into the US ahead of a long-awaited IPO. Its board wants an AI-first bank. Your team advises on which AI bets create real value — and defends whether $75bn is the right price.

“One case, one team, both questions. The board doesn't let you pick a lane — neither do we.”

One Case, Three Lenses

Consulting

Prioritise Revolut's AI roadmap and set its regulatory guardrails across 40+ markets.

Investment Banking

Value Revolut via comps and a DCF, then price the IPO — timing, venue, and all.

Entrepreneurship

Design Revolut's next AI product, or pitch the startup built to attack it.

Teams submit one write-up through one lens, built around a single recommendation.

How It Works

Two rounds, one case, four dates worth knowing.

  1. 1
    19 October
    Round 1 opens.

    The case goes live. A short webinar releases the brief; teams get the full case pack straight after and start work the same day.

  2. 2
    25 October
    Submissions due.

    One write-up, one lens — consulting, banking or venture — built around a single recommendation.

  3. 3
    25 October – 1 November
    Judging.

    Every entry is scored by practitioner faculty and the organising committee against a shared rubric. The best 35 teams are announced on 1 November.

  4. 4
    14 November
    The Final.

    Finalists present through the day in heats; the shortlist meets a grand-jury panel for the final result. In person, venue to be confirmed.
