Who should apply?
Our programs are most valuable for people in the early stages of their career, who can demonstrate that they’ve achieved exceptional outcomes relative to their peers. We call these people ‘outliers’, and are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who express ambitious ideas and an intellectual excellence to anticipate, reimagine, and build the technologies of the future.
Which program should I apply to?
Spring, Summer and Winter programs are for all early career individuals.

Do I need a cofounder to apply?
No you do not need a cofounder to apply. Our program brings together exceptional individuals to find a cofounder and build a startup from scratch.
We assess all applicants as individuals, before they have a business, cofounder or an idea. If you already have a cofounder, please mention this on your application, and ask them submit one too.

Why is the program full-time and in person?
Our program brings together exceptional individuals to find cofounders and build startups from scratch. Within eight weeks, 80% of participants will find a cofounder. This unique process works due to the cohort’s shared focus and commitment to founding right now. This works best in person, where ideas and relationships can be quickly forged and iterated.
That’s why we expect you to commit full-time to the program, and move to one of our hub cities to take part in person. We host a highly anticipated Kick Off Summit ahead of each program, where your cohort will be brought together for the first time for a residential weekend.

We review applications on a rolling basis. You will receive an email from us regardless of the outcome of your application. If we think you might be a good fit for one of our programs, we will invite you to meet one or more members of our Talent Investing team.
