PREPARE TO
THE SYSTEM
We provide the unsexy parts.
Cloud credits, API access, legal sanity, investor intros, and the kind of silence that money can’t buy. No slogans. No “AI for good” statements. Just working things, doing work.
THE WAY
Not an accelerator. A closed loop of making, breaking, and rebuilding until something useful crawls out. Fifteen projects. One outcome: output. This is the part where most people drop out. That’s fine. Mediocrity needs somewhere to go.
SEE YOU THERE
FIRST APPPLICATION
DEADLINE 01.05.
THE CALL
No promises. No grand “journeys.”
Just a screen, a keyboard, and the goal of making something real.
10 teams go in for six months, build with AI, and come out with working products - reality compiled and shipped.
If you need
motivation,
stay home.
Otherwise,
welcome.
LOCATION
Riga Shipyard PopUp. Cold enough to keep you focused. With aim to ship daily and by design it’s temporary, because permanence is a trap. Nothing here is decorative, including you.
