Lab Process

The Process

How the Lab Works

From working prototype to production in three months.

  1. 01

    Apply

    Submit your prototype

    Bring a working prototype — even rough or AI-built with Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT. We transform existing code, not ideas.

  2. 02

    30-day trial

    Selection & trial

    Selected fellows start with a 30-day trial. If it isn't the right fit, we part ways with no equity transferred.

  3. 03

    3 months

    The lab

    Intensive transformation — production architecture, security, testing, and DevOps — with senior mentorship and weekly lab sessions.

  4. 04

    Launch + 6 months

    Ship & alumni

    You own a production-ready app with full documentation, plus 6 months of office hours and lifetime alumni network access.
