Our thesis

A group of the 8 most exceptional student founders in Europe, living and building alongside each other, to be the spearhead of Europe's next generation of founders.

Students over-index on experience. Students that build, tinker and find themselves going down technical rabbit holes rather than attending a lecture are those that will build the future.

If you find yourself out of place, and with each hackathon/assignment/conversation this comes into focus, you might be who we are looking for.

A high school, undergraduate, masters, postdoc, PhD or recent graduate (24 months since graduation).

Working on software, hardware, or deep-tech. Any non-technical applicants must apply with a co-founder.

Solo founders are welcome.

We look for

First-principles thinking
Those that can recognise narratives, and can challenge them, at any scale.
Technological window of opportunity
A belief that technology now more than ever can solve problems and touch markets previously categorised as a waste of time.
External expectations
They don't register.
