You come in with one clear target - internship, shipped feature, first users, investor replies - and we turn that into proof.

• Week 0-1: pick your goal and define what “proof” looks like.
• Weeks 2-6: ship every week and get corrected live.
• Weeks 7-8: tighten everything into receipts you can show on calls, apps, and DMs.

This isn’t a playlist of videos. It’s a sprint where you’re expected to move.

The sprint runs on a simple rhythm: build, show work, get corrected, repeat.

• Standup sessions where fellows walk through what shipped that week.
• Async work where you build features, products, or outreach tied to your goal.
• Peer-Swap reviews where fellows review each other’s work and unblock things faster.

By the end of the sprint you’re not explaining what you learned — you're showing what you shipped.

Yes. Most fellows run the sprint alongside classes or part-time work.

• The expected commitment is about 5–8 focused hours a week.
• What matters is not time logged — it's whether progress is visible.
• Some fellows move faster, but consistency matters more than intensity.

If you can protect a few focused hours every week, the sprint works.

• You’re tired of “passionate / fast learner” being your whole story.
• You’ve touched a bunch of stacks but haven’t hammered any one thing in public.
• You’d rather ship, get critiqued, and fix it than keep mass-applying and hoping.

If you want a place to hide, this isn’t it. If you want one clean win you can point at when someone asks “So what have you done?” - that’s what this is for.

• A specific goal for the sprint (not “I just want something”).
• Evidence you’ve already tried things, even if they didn’t work.
• Willingness to be honest about where you’re stuck, not performative confidence.

We’re not looking for a perfect resume. We’re looking for someone who will actually use the pressure.

If it’s not a fit this round, we’ll tell you what we need to see change (not just “try again later”) - projects, proof, clarity.

If you come back having actually moved, that tells us more than any essay.

Raghav (Founder Track)

Came in with: “I don’t know if anyone will care.”
Left with: product live, real users asking for it, warm intros lined up.

Deepak (Athlete Connect)

Came in with: idea and sketches.
Left with: real users, outreach that gets replies, something investors can react to.

SWE fellow

Came in with: “projects and LeetCode.”
Left with: merged PRs in a real codebase, production screenshots, a story that shuts “no experience” down in one answer.

You’re not paying for videos. You’re paying for leverage:

• Time – collapsing 6–12 months of guessing, tutorial hopping, and mass applications into a focused 8-week sprint.
• Access – senior engineers, founders, and operators who look at your work, not your GPA; plus rooms and intros you can’t cold-DM into.
• Environment & support – real SDLC, deadlines, reviews, and someone on the hook for unblocking you instead of you figuring everything out alone.
• Proof that compounds – merged PRs, shipped slices, users, and a clear story you can reuse for internships, jobs, or your own startup for the next 3–5 years.

If money is the only blocker and you’re genuinely all-in, tell us. We’d rather find a way to work with serious people than watch you file this under “someday.”

• 5–8 focused hours a week devoted to your sprint target.
• Shipping or showing visible progress every week.
• Being responsive and honest about where you’re stuck.

We’ll nudge you when it matters, but this only works if you’re responsive and honest about where you’re stuck.

No. We don’t sell job guarantees.

What we do is different.

• We help you build proof of work that hiring managers actually respond to.
• We put you in rooms with builders, operators, and founders where that work gets seen.
• When we refer someone, it’s because we’ve seen them execute under pressure.

You're not buying a job promise. You're buying an environment where it's much harder to be ignored.

Small, serious groups. You’ll see people share drafts, PRs, outreach, and get feedback in real time - not just polished LinkedIn screenshots. There are people from different cohorts with whom you can build, collaborate, and work on projects together.

• Demo Days, live reviews, and correction instead of generic “nice job.”
• You see other people’s wins and stumbles while you’re building your own.

You’re not yelling into the void. When you show work, people answer.

We have people from all around the US from universities like Cornell, Texas A&M, UW Seattle, Santa Clara University, etc. to name a few! You’ll get a good mix of talent, knowledge and people to network with!
