My new nonprofit, the Alliance for Innovative Regulation, or AIR (about which you\\u2019ll soon hear much more), collaborated with the UK\\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority to run the first-ever US regulatory \\u201cTech Sprint.\\u201d A tech sprint is a hackathon. It puts subject matter experts together with software developers, lets them form themselves into teams, and has them work side by side -- sometimes day and night -- trying to solve concrete regulatory challenges. By the end of the sprint, typically a few days later, you don\\u2019t merely have a report or a memo or a working group. You have computer code. A start on a practical, working solution.
