Introducing Alpha (A001) - 13 fellows who spent the last 8 weeks building their companies with us in SF. This is our earliest-stage program for students, dropouts, and recent grads with the conviction to run straight into building a startup. Most started Alpha as solo founders, still figuring out what exactly to build. Within 8 weeks, they went all in on building, talking to customers, growing their teams, and even getting their first revenue through the door. Meet our founders ↓

One question moderator Jon Lai asked: If you’re a builder right now and you’re selecting markets to build in, how do you think about timing? How can you tell when you’re too early with an idea?
