05Before 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 2 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 Claude credits from Anthropic for every team.

Q.04Can I join my team remotely?

No, unfortunately it's in person only.

Q.05Where exactly is it?

In Munich. The exact location is shared with accepted participants on Luma.
