about the residency

welcome to the residency, we are on a mission to enable more ambitious young people to change the world for the better. our experience is designed for entrepreneurs, researchers, and inventors who want the freedom to turn their ambitious dreams into reality.

the residency exists to support and connect ambitious builders.traditionally, ambitious builders like yourself have been constrained by the time requirements of school and work. we run 6-month-long cohorts so you can go full time on your ambitions. we provide housing and co-working space so you can live and work with equally ambitious peers. you can think of us as “college” meets “accelerator”.

silicon valley is our first hub because of its unmatched talent density. but many bright minds cannot live here due to visa restrictions, high costs, and/or family obligations.with homes all over the world, we support and connect the most capable talent globally.
