Applications Open for Life-Changing Residency in San Francisco for Changemakers.
Applications are now open for a unique opportunity designed for individuals ready to turn their bold ideas into real-world impact. If you’ve ever felt the pull to build something meaningful, challenge the status quo, or bring a dream to life but lacked the support, this could be your moment.
This initiative is not for the passive thinker. It’s for the doers — the ones who can’t sleep at night because their ideas won’t let them. The ones who feel a fire inside but just need the right spark, the right push, the right chance to go all in. This program is that chance.
It all starts with a fast-paced, three-week online sprint. The format is simple but powerful: one impactful deliverable each week, plus the option to join a weekly learning session. It’s designed to give creators the structure and momentum they need to build something meaningful — quickly. Whether you have one hour a week or a hundred, this is your runway. The more time and energy you commit, the more doors you open for unexpected breakthroughs and connections.
Participants who show real progress during the sprint have a shot at something extraordinary — a fully funded, three-month residency in San Francisco from September to November. That means free flights, food, and accommodation. It also means being surrounded by some of the brightest, most driven people you’ll ever meet. Past guests to the house include none other than Sam Altman. It’s an ecosystem of ambition designed to supercharge your growth.
Flexibility is key. You can participate while studying, working, or managing other commitments. The structure is built to adapt to your schedule and still push you toward meaningful milestones. The sprint kicks off on July 21 and runs through August 10. To stay in the running, your first deliverable needs to be submitted by July 27. The deadline to apply is July 21 — no extensions, no fees.
This experience is free. Completely. No hidden costs, no strings attached. Just a rare opportunity to bet on yourself — and maybe change your life.
And if you’re selected for the San Francisco residency but need a visa, don’t worry. The organizers are experienced in supporting international participants and will walk you through the process.
This opportunity is open to anyone, regardless of where you’re from, your background, or how unconventional your path has been. Whether you’re an underdog, a self-taught coder, a designer with vision, or an activist with a mission — this is your chance to be seen and supported. And if you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in rooms like these, consider this your sign: you do.
Applications are now live. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to commit to your vision — this is it. Take your shot.
