How it works
Rather than enforcing a rigid curriculum, we're designing the house around the founders we select. The house will combine intense building with the opportunity to gain real context: intimate dinners, technical deep-dives, and targeted mentor sessions - all designed to inform what founders are building and how they build it.
Why it matters
For founders, the house provides the space to develop and pressure-test ideas before taking the leap to build full-time. For our partners, it offers early access to founders as they transition from early teams into ventures that we hope will define the next wave of technology.
