01Why this one

Built around the fund,
not the sponsor.

The venture fund is the structure itself, not a sponsor line. Its portfolio supplies the problems, its partners sit on the jury, and the builders get two days in front of the people who fund what comes next.

  • The problems

    Live commercial problems drawn from the UVC portfolio. Every brief comes from a company already operating on it, with its owner in the room.

    From the portfolio

  • The room

    Fund partners take part as speakers, mentors and judges. Portfolio operators run the tracks they set.

    Investors and operators

  • After Sunday

    The demos take an afternoon. What follows runs longer: investor conversations, job offers from portfolio companies, or contacts worth calling months later.

    A doorway, not a weekend

06Before you apply

Questions.

Q.01Who can apply?

Anyone who takes ownership and ships. We don't select on background: full-stack engineers, data scientists, designers and business people all belong on the floor, and every team finds its own mix. What we look for is agency, and the drive to work on frontier problems from the portfolio of a deep-tech VC.

Q.02Do I need a team?

No. Apply solo or as a team of up to 4. Solo applicants form teams on Saturday morning, and the schedule plans time for exactly that.

Q.03What does it cost?

Nothing. Food, drinks and compute are covered for the whole weekend, including AI credits for every team.

Q.04Where exactly is it?

In Munich. The address is sent to accepted participants.
