Introducing Off Season II Every summer you have a choice: A vacation? An internship? Or you can decide that you're ready for more Offseason is a 6 week program - Jun 24th to Aug 7th - Designed for students, recent grads & dropouts - up to $250k in funding to the top teams - 100 teams will be selected to join - $50k in credits for all participants - Shoulder to shoulder w/ obsessed founders like you - Direct office hrs with our team of exited founders - Ends in a demo day / festival Last summer we saw students start companies, find their first users, raise millions & dedicate themselves to their life's work. We've seen a massive shift in what students are capable of building. We expect this summer to be the craziest yet, if you believe you can do more. You can. Don't wait for permission, don't wait for a certification that says you can do it. You're more ready than you think.
