Who should apply?
This is for you if you:
have an early-stage idea (or even just a strong “why doesn’t this exist?”)
want to learn fast, try things out, and build with others
are ready to show up and make progress each week
No business background needed. No perfect idea required.
Just curiosity and commitment.
