FAQ

Questions.

Do I need a startup idea before I join?

No. The first phase helps you find a problem worth solving. Come with curiosity, not just a pitch deck.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You'll learn to write real code with AI-assisted workflows. This is not a no-code program.

Is there funding support?

The best projects are introduced to our angel and studio network at demo day. We don't guarantee investment.

How is this different from an incubator?

Incubators fund. We teach. You'll come out with the muscle to keep building even if the first product doesn't win.

Ready to build?

Applications for the next cohort are open. Small classes. Real work. Serious mentors.
