Questions, answered.

What does a cohort cost?

There is no application fee. Terms are shared with finalists before any offer is made, so you can decide with the full picture.

Do I need to be on campus the whole time?

Yes. Teams work on campus for the 14 weeks, because the mentors, lab and community are a big part of the program.

What happens after Demo Day?

Investor introductions continue, alumni keep access to the community and events, and teams can stay on campus as members.
