Bootcamp · For serious builders

Build for real — in the place built for building.

A selective, live-in program for people serious about building. Mentors, real-world problems, and direct access to the supply chain that turns ideas into products.

The deep dive

Not a course. A crucible.

The bootcamp is where curiosity becomes commitment. For two focused weeks, you live and build inside the world's fastest hardware ecosystem, with mentors who've done it and a supply chain that lets you move at real speed.

It's selective by design — a small cohort of people genuinely ready to build. That's what makes the mentorship, the peer group and the network worth it.

The program

Two weeks that move.

Structured to take you from problem to prototype to a real path forward.

Days 1–4

Immerse & frame

Get inside the ecosystem and sharpen the problem worth solving — with mentors and the supply chain at hand.

Days 5–9

Build & test

Prototype fast, test with real input, and iterate at the speed the Greater Bay Area makes possible.

Days 10–14

Pitch & path forward

Refine, present to mentors and operators, and map what comes next — including a possible path to being backed.

What you'll leave with

More than a prototype.

01

A sharper build

A tested prototype and a clearer, more credible plan for what comes next.

02

Mentors & peers

Relationships with operators, mentors and a cohort of serious builders.

03

A path forward

Supply-chain access, network, and — for the strongest — a route to being backed.
