From zero to a company
We don't teach entrepreneurship — we build companies. Four phases of focused execution.
phase 01 · 01
Company Formation
Turn an idea into a company — registration, founder structure, legal basics, and a real execution plan.
phase 02 · 02
Product Building
Ship an MVP with AI at its core. The goal isn't perfection — it's learning, fast, with real users.
phase 03 · 03
Customer Acquisition
Find your first real customers — outreach, interviews, onboarding. The first customer beats the first pitch deck.
phase 04 · 04
Growth Foundation
Leave with a registered company, a working product, early validation, and a 90-day roadmap.
build in public
We build in the open, and we record the journey.
Every cohort is documented — the wins, the failures, the shipping. Founders build in public, grow an audience while they grow a company, and leave with a story worth telling.
the ecosystem
Two communities, one network
You don't need to be in a cohort to be in the network. Builders and idea-havers find each other year-round — the community is the long game.
product · the people
Builder Community
Developers, designers, AI engineers, operators. Create a profile, get discovered, and find a co-founder.
Find a co-founder →product · the problems
Idea Community
Share what you want to build and who you need. Builders find meaningful problems; ideas become companies.

Direct access to mentors and operators
Accommodation, workspace, and uninterrupted building time — alongside people who've built and sold. Goa, Rishikesh, Manali. The location changes; the mission doesn't.
Is it free?+
Yes — no participation fee. Residency, accommodation, workspace, and mentorship are covered.
What's the equity?+
We partner through equity — typically ~12% in selected companies. Not a fee; our success depends on yours.
Do I need a company or a team?+
No. Apply solo or as a team, with an idea or a prototype. Find a co-founder in our community.
