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.

• 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 paying to skip 6–12 months of guessing and mass-applying.
• You’re paying to get into real rooms faster than you’d reach alone.
• You’re paying for someone who’s done this to tell you what to ship next.
• You’re paying for proof: PRs, users, replies that compound over the next 5 years.

If money is the only blocker and you’re clearly all-in, tell us. We’d rather find a way to work with serious people than lose you to “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.

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.
